They say that CEOs are paid the big money because they shoulder the responsibility and risk of the big decisions.

When’s the last time CEOs suffered the consequences of their decisions? Even if they get fired, they still get a golden parachute.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

"Skowl and Skabruzz have been added to the Pokedex!"
A digital layout of a Fakemon's Pokedex Profile. The featured fakemon is "Skowl": A surly-looking owl pokemon with a scarred, horned faceplate. SKOWL - The Raider Pokemon No. ??? - [Ground/Dark Type] HT: 2'01" - 0.64M WT: 13.2lbs - 6.0KG Gender Ratio: 50M - 50F Abilities: Intimidate ; Sand Veil ; Sand Rush (Hidden Ability) Pokedex Entry: "It makes its home in underground burrows. Since Skowl cannot dig, it flocks together with others of its species to force Pokemon out of their homes and claim them as their own." "The meanest of the bunch is the leader of the group. If it is ever deposed by another rival, it is exiled from the flock and chased into the desert." A digital layout of a Fakemon's Pokedex Profile. The featured fakemon is "Skabruzz": An intimidating buzzard pokemon with a face akin to a cattle-skull. SKABRUZZ - The Wasteland Pokemon No. ??? - [Ground/Dark Type] HT: 4'10" - 1.47M WT: 103.6lbs - 47.0KG Gender Ratio: 50M - 50F Abilities: Intimidate ; Sand Force ; Sand Stream (Hidden Ability) Pokedex Entry: "It survives off the remains of those who perish in the desert, and will stalk its prey from a distance for days at a time. In the past, people used to call it the "Shadow of Death"." "It bathes in dust to coat its plumage in a protective layer of grit. Since food is scarce, it attacks Skowl and other Skabruzz to limit the competition."

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

[DUST-DEVIL FAKEMON]

Burrowing owls don't usually dig their own homes- They move into dens abandoned by other critters! Skowl is what you'd get if they were more "proactive"

Bearded vultures eat bones and coat their feathers in iron-rich dust. I think they're really neat :)

A digital illustration of a fakemon / オリポケ "Skowl: The Raider Pokemon" Ground/Dark Type It is a tan burrowing owl pokemon with a brown, horned faceplate and fluffy cream-coloured plumage on its chest. It has two spindly legs that terminate into 3 talons: Two forward digits, one hallux. Its tail is segmented into three, striped plumes, with the centermost being the largest. Its yellow eyes cast a mean glare from under its furrowed brow, and a pink, scar-like marking stretches across the top of its beak. A digital illustration of a fakemon / オリポケ "Skabruzz: The Wasteland Pokemon" Ground/Dark Type It is a brown buzzard pokemon with a head that is reminiscent of a cattle-skull. Two horns jut out imperiously from the creature's head, their points terminating in a dark brown. Dark, ruffly plumage covers the pokemon's head, neck, wings, and tail, and two talons emerge from the creature's fluffy "ankles". It bears a spined, bone-like growth on each of its shoulders, and several wounds peak out from beneath the feathers of its wings. Its yellow eyes are fixed in a piercing stare.

Inspired by albino mice, and white/arctic wolves.
A digital illustration of a fakemon / オリポケ "Maraudent: The Grit Pokemon" Ground Type ~*Shiny Colouration*~ It is a small white rodent-like pokemon with a large head, a fuzzy body, and a zig-zag tail. It is hunched forward slightly with a menacing expression and a deeply furrowed brow. A bluey-gray mohawk-like crest sits between its ears, one of which is battle-damaged. Its muzzle, paws, belly, and tail are all faintly "skin pink", like a young rodent. A digital illustration of a fakemon / オリポケ "Vyrmenthrope: The Aggressive Pokemon" Ground/Fighting Type *~Shiny Colouration*~ It is a large rodent-like pokemon, primed in a wide fighting stance. Its white fur features faint accents on the muzzle and stomach, and grey tips on its damaged ears. The creature's expression wrinkes into a semi-snarl, and a dull blue mohawk-like mane runs from from the furrow of its brows to the middle of its back. A thick, rat-like tail emerges from its lower body.

[GRASSHOPPER MOUSE FAKEMON]

Grasshopper mice are carnivorous rodents that hunt scorpions, centipedes, even snakes and other mice!
Their bodies process venom into painkillers, and they howl like little wolves to defend their territory, earning the nickname "werewolf mouse" :)

A Shiny colouration of a fakemon / オリポケ "Panaceasp: The Potent Pokemon." Grass/Poison Type It is a little snake-like fakemon wrapped around a walking stick. Its body is a light, pastel purple with a bright yellow tail and eye accents. Its underbelly is a dull black, and its head and torso possess white accents that mimic the appearance of bandages. Its open eye is sky-blue in colour, and its walking stick has silver wood-grain with golden leaves. A Shiny colouration of a fakemon / オリポケ "Emissymm: The Harmonious Pokemon" Grass/Poison Type It is a two-headed snake-like fakemon, coiled around a shepherd's crook like a caduceus. Its upper bodies are a vivid purple, and each possesses a singular white wing with purple wingtips. White and black bands separate the heads from its yellow lower body, which has a black underbelly. Its heads have lustrous golden eyelids, and the "conscious" head reveals its teal eyes. Its shepherd's crook has silver bark and similarly lustrous golden leaf.
