Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Tbilisi has been in the streets for over a month, very much including the music scene. Saturday afternoon, they'll join the largest human chain since 2008. Tornike's music here makes the perfect soundtrack for that sea of stars above their heads...

Matt Damon: “A teacher wants to teach.” The son of a public school teacher, he defends teachers as heroes we should be grateful for rather than villains we should be threatening to punish — as pro-privatization forces would have us believe.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." -- Arthur C. Clarke, born #OTD 1917

Canada's Child Benefit is basically a basic income for kids. Its multiplier effect is $2 per $1. The poor and middle class have much higher propensities to consume than the rich. A rich person only needs so many pants. Millions of people need millions of pants. Tax the pants off the rich and do UBI.

Automation is progress if it benefits everyone. That has not been the case for decades. Universal basic income is needed as that distribution mechanism because wages no longer fill that role. Everyone should get a dividend from productivity growth, not just stockholders.

With its bombing of Syria, Israel has now attacked five countries in just 12 months - Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran (I’m half-remembering a strike at a base in Iraq but can’t be certain.) Trying to think how unusual that number is. Probably goes back to WWII for something similar?

Those of you interested in the history of electronic music may enjoy the talk I gave to the Computer Arts Society last week on Peter Zinovieff’s early work (among other things). It can be seen in all its rambling unedited glory here: youtu.be/u6P72zPZpUo

Mayor admits community anger over Waimate's drinking water ban due to nitrate contamination by the dairy industry. They should be angry. It’s a result of decades of failure by Govt to protect people from dairy pollution. #TooManyCows #nzpol

I did a video this year that's like a seminar on Universal Basic Income using a slide deck I put together for a UBI event. It gets into a lot of what has been learned from pilot experiments, and multiple arguments why it's needed. I also now do a biweekly show. www.scottsantens.com/youtube-chan...
