UBI as relevant as ever. Never a wrong time to rethink what our relationship to work + money should be.

With Spain moving towards it, learn all about universal basic income in Earn A Living - this beautiful interactive series from 2018 reflects on the value of money, time and work around the world. Created by Margaux Missika and Yuval Orr. https://t.co/PJSfd9NqKs

1/ I was struck by how many parallels there are with #COP26 & the disastrous #COP15 in Copenhagen. There are the obvious ones, both cold, wet COPs in northern Europe. Both hugely expensive for the global South, with poor planning on basic things like affordable accommodation

Apropos of nothing, a very short but pointed essay on Robert E. Lee by W.E.B. Du Bois https://t.co/csUmKUiwU9

And Israelis go: But what about Ben & Jerry’s ice cream though.

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

Enraging. Yesterday the Israeli Military shot and killed a Palestinian kid and now they shot a teen during the funeral. We pay for this. Everyday.

exactly. this should be obvious

Life should have more of this,
and less of everything else.

[DrewFrog @DrewFrogger]

I don’t use this verbiage often but this is a whole vibe. simple as that

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

Five years ago I started interviewing folks for a film about the internet and it was a lot of: “Ho, boy. The future will be a shitshow.” The wildest imagination couldn’t have convinced me this is where we’d get, and so damn fast.

[Andrew Marantz @andrewmarantz]

I've spent much of the past 5 years thinking and writing about the worst people on the internet, because they reveal something important, if terrifying, about our new attentional economy. Even I never imagined that Laura Loomer—Laura Loomer!—could win a Congressional primary.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

Just about sums it up.

[🇺🇦 David Griner 🇺🇦 @griner]

I’m going to be thinking about this for a long time: https://t.co/tmki4RhBXz

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

This is how low the world’s “greatest” country has sunk. Letting their own citizens die because they vote Democrat and not Republican.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

@SethCotlar His last name is literally Cotton. Whatever his family history, the history of his namesake in America is undeniably and inextricably linked to the back-breaking slave labor that built the US economy. One can only imagine what the Cottons’ might have done in those fields...

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

We literally invented money. Starting everyone at zero doesn’t make much sense.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

@AmandaRosenberg Thank you for putting into words what is so very difficult to externalize and explain to those who have never been there. And for the article link as well. Perhaps the world needs a Treading Water Anonymous, as a first step to just being able to openly talk about all this.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

Peter has been shot-calling for years on where young American Jews are moving politically, and how it will affect Israel. And unlike most white guys with ties sounding smart, the facts have proven him right most of the time. Also he’s a mensch, so doubly worth listening to.

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

The message of @JamaalBowmanNY's apparent victory is clear: If you think you can permanently barricade off Israel-Palestine from the movement for justice transforming the Democratic Party and the nation, you are wrong. Change is coming.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

@chaimlevinson What’s funny is Netanyahu built a sandcastle in the sky that floated on American dreams. Eventually, the rest of the world will look up and say: “You’re high, right?”

[Abbi Crutchfield @curlycomedy]

Please stop referring to this time as “Everything that is going on.” Call it the Black Lives Matter movement if you want to be positive, and The Revolution if you want to make your white family members uncomfortable.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

@glcarlstrom Friedman’s honest answer to your question if he dared to give it would likely be: “The Jewish people’s.” And that’s the scary part. He’s not even attempting to hold water with past precedent or follow admin’s lead (lol, who is there to follow!?) — he’s the tail wagging the dog.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

@AOC I like how he says he’ll be proud to be a cop “until the day I retire.” Hope somebody catches up with him on that day to hear how he *really* feels about being a cop. Bet it’ll be illuminating, and 1 million times more honest than this performance.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

@bdgrabinski I mean, the back-to-back performances of Face/Off and Con Air alone are enough to earn the man his place in the pantheon of greats.

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

And @TuckerCarlson comes in for the save. Clearly “Watch: White Supremacist REACTS to Elmo on Sesame Street!!” has much more reach when done on Fox News as opposed to some random YouTube channel.

[Andrew Lawrence @ndrew_lawrence]

Tucker Carlson attacks Elmo

[Yuval Orr @yuvalorr]

We need a YouTube reaction video series where they show white supremacists this Sesame Street clip.
