This Home Robot Clears Tables and Loads the Dishwasher All by Itself
Sunday Robotics has a new way to train robots to do common household tasks. The startup plans to put its fully autonomous robots in homes next year.

I spent Sunday with friends I hadn’t seen in a month or more. We baked cookies, worked on a jigsaw puzzle, shared stories. The story sharing consists of someone talking about a personal experience that would have seemed unthinkable a month ago: a friend with a missing relative, a car left in the street, a family who had 8 loads of laundry because they couldn’t leave the house, running on the ice and fumbling for the whistle while witnessing somebody being abducted right there, right in front of them.
After each story, there is really nothing to say. It is horrible. We nod. We know. We continue the puzzle.

Lübecker Bauausschuss entscheidet gegen #Straßenbahn
"Im Bauausschuss am Montagabend schlossen sich CDU, SPD, AfD und FDP der Empfehlung der Verwaltung an, die Planungen für eine Straßenbahn einzustellen. Grüne, Linke & GAL sowie „Die Fraktion“ hätten die Planungen gerne fortgesetzt. Die Rathaus-Kooperation aus CDU und Grünen ist bei diesem Thema gespalten."

Eine Straßenbahn für Lübeck? Verkehrspolitiker lassen Traum platzen
Die politischen Weichen sind gestellt: Lübeck wird keine neue Straßenbahn bauen. Finanzielle Bedenken und drohendes Verkehrschaos gaben den Ausschlag für die Verkehrspolitiker. Am 27. November entscheidet die Bürgerschaft endgültig.

Any sufficiently advanced disaster preparedness is indistinguishable from revolutionary dual power. This essay is a bit of a transition between the theory I've written earlier, and more concrete plans.
Even though I only touched on my life on the commune, it was hard not to write more. These are such weird spaces, with so much invisible opportunity. But they're also just so unique and special. For all the stress and uncertainty of making sure you stayed on Lorean's (the head priestess), there were also those long summer nights with the whole community (except the old lady) gathered around a fire, talking and drinking. There was almost a child-like play to the whole time.
There were so Fridays I'd come home with a couple of gallons of beer from the real world, folks would bring things from the garden, someone would grill a steak, everyone who didn't cook would clean up, and we'd just hang out and have fun. So many evenings I'd go over to Miles place with a guitar, or with his guitar, and we'd pass it around over a few beers, talking about philosophy, Star Wars, or some book or other. It's hard not to write about the strange magic of that space.
My partner and I bonded over similar experiences, mine on a weird little religious commune in California and theirs as a temporary worker at Omega Institute. Both had exploitation, people on weird power trips, frustrating dynamics, but also a strange magic and freedom. Both were sort of fantasy worlds, but places that let us see through this one, let us imagine something that something else is possible behind the veil.
There are many such veils.
Perhaps it's fitting that this is more meandering, as a good wander can help the transition between lots of hard thinking and lots of hard working.

Editing feedback (especially typos, spelling, grammar) is always welcome, as are questions and even wider structural advice. I've been adding the handles of folks who provide feedback to the intro in a "thank you" section. If you do help and wouldn't like to be added, please let me know.

I really like my Presonus speakers. They sound decent! But they take up a lot of space and have lots of wires. I'd love something in a soundbar form factor and am willing to take a small hit in driver size and stereo separation for it. But not a cheap plastic box.
