@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaI wasn’t even politically awake in 2017-2021, and what the actual fuck, was Trump this shitty dumbass back then?? Same fascist, garbage, dumbfuck shit we’re choking on today??

@cazfi@social.linux.pizzaTerrible headache keeps me awake, and that's a bit of a problem as I really would need the sleep this night before long day tomorrow. Next opportunity to sleep is well past midnight tomorrow. Being awake close to 48h might have been almost routine for me in the past, but at this age it's nearly impossible.
@teledyn@mstdn.caIt's a cheap laugh but my morning chuckle as I awake to be greeted by an announcement that #musescore is flogging a plugin called, I kid you not, "Can't AI" 🤣
Ok, so I added punctuation.

@brian_gettler@mas.toToday's weather is a metaphor: while asleep snow accumulates; once awake, the rain turns what was beautiful into something else entirely.

@cdarwin@c.imWith Trump struggling to stay awake at meetings, the prevailing image is of a driver asleep at the wheel.
Opinion polls suggest that Americans are turning against him.
Republicans are heading for the exit ahead of congressional contests next November that look bleak for the party.

was violating laws and the constitution,”

@joe@toot.worksI should not be awake, yet.
@hex@kolektiva.socialSo in another dream I just woke up from, I was talking to someone about "the idea problem" (that it's becoming harder to monitize ideas, from a vox article written by an AI cooked reporter).
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-it-could-happen-here-30717896/episode/executive-disorder-white-house-weekly-46-313675864/
Basically, I was arguing that the majority of inventions target men because patriarchy puts economic control in men's hands. As men have started to help more with childcare, there have been more inventions related to childcare. (I don't have any idea if this is true. Seems legit, but I'm just relating my dream. I think I was also oversimplifying a bit to "men" and "women" because of my audience, but anyway it was a dream.) There's actually more low-hanging fruit, I pointed out, related to making care work easier.
So I argued that the real problem was a failure to invest in research into solving that problem. Today there are all these boondoggles built around killing people. What if, instead of all this government research into killing people, we dumped a ton of money into making it easier to support a household? That would be great for the economy. (Being asleep, I seem to have forgotten that working people need money.)
In the blur of being just awake I started thinking about how you could kickstart the US economy by taking the money from the AI boondoggle and other autonomous murder bots and create something like a program to build robots for housekeepers. You'd still be funding tech with government money, so the same horrible people get paid, but you're now actually solving real problems. It wouldn't even matter if it was a boondoggle, honestly. Just dumping money into something other than murdering people is good enough.
I imagined first if there was a program to fund a robot housecleaner, like robot dog with AI some laundry pickup, that would be provided, free of charge, to help people with children. It would work the same as the military boondoggle where a private company makes the government buy a piece of hardware from them and then also pay them to service it for some number of years. But instead of that hardware sitting around waiting to kill someone, it would be getting brought to people's houses to help them.
Then I thought, hey, you could even boost the economy more if you just had government funding for doulas and housecleaners and paid them a living wage. Hey, you could really kickstart the economy by nationalizing healthcare and including doula support as part of all births. Oh, and you could also just include the optional household help for families with children until the kids turn 18.
None of this is perfect (I don't actually think most of this is possible from any state), but the point is that it's actually wildly easy to figure out all kinds of ways to invest in the economy and monitize ideas as long as you aren't entirely focused on the same old "make money from spying on people and killing them." Funny that. Like they said in the podcast, maybe "finding ideas" isn't the problem.
Hope you enjoyed the weird semi-awake brain dump/rant.
@luca@social.luca.runMrnng. It's 4 am. I'm awake for questionable reasons.
@billbert@mastodon.socialThis is where we are: it’s 3:00 in the morning and I’m awake imagining musical numbers and other sketches for Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams to each be a guest on the new Muppet Show. #HeatedRivalry

@mela@zusammenkunft.netWhoops. My »USB Sticks Are Not a Back-Up« seminar at Convention Zero got the 8am EST slot on Nov 22nd. I've held similar sessions during HistoCamp and LitCampHD, and the topic has never been a crowd favourite. I guess I'll see how many people will be awake enough at that hour. 😬
