Dreamed of plastic insects. Product development gone wrong or evolution? Cataloging finds from drop traps in central park: a lovely blue-green, miniature, plastic purse. Perfect for a doll. No. An egg case. A new and undescribed species of plastic roach. Peas in a pod. Each has a tiny foil-wrapped lipo battery visible through the translucent, colorful exoskeleton. They cluster at USB ports, sipping micro-volts. Fast, lightweight, versatile, a triumph of economical design #plastic #ideas

Wield #joy like a weapon, always be building #community, and self-expression of thoughts are powerful ideas.
Powerful #ideas never die.

“Price was appointed to lead a government efficiency unit if the #Coalition government is elected after 3 May. The unit, which would sit within the prime minister’s department, has been compared to one led by US #tech billionaire Elon Musk (#TechWeenie, #Oligarch), whose Department of Government #Efficiency, or Doge, is taking a razor to US government departments.
“Let’s be very, very clear, media, you’re obsessed with Donald Trump . We’re not obsessed with Donald Trump. We’re actually obsessed with ensuring that we can improve the circumstances for #Australians,” she said.”
Devoid of any #policy, #analysis, #costing, #ideas an LNP Senator makes a word salad of foreign phrases about making the “Bond market” sexy again, from a #BowlingClub on a Saturday in #Perth.

Where do you get your ideas?
Identify the poison in civilization.
Then, imagine the opposite of what disgusts you.
Share this through your art as nourishment for the world.

Seeing how a lot of #solarpunk #illustration used by magazines, portals and even researchers tends to be #AI generated bullshit I'd like to start a gallery with curated, intentional and human-made #creativeCommons #art for anyone to use.
I'd also like it to be a place with #solarpunkPrompts available in multiple languages - as we have them in Polish, English and Italian - potentially cross-linked and tagged by themes.
@Vivaldi Mail, Tasks, Calendar, Notes, Settings and some pinned web links.
How about a side panel for pinning Start Page widgets vertically? Then we could use them productively as we browse.
I apparently walked out of the store with this thing still attached to a very cheap piece of #electronics . I think it is an Alpha #security tag. I guess the cashier didn't notice.
Are there any cool things I can do to #repurpose this? I could just bring it back to Wal-Mart but not if I can do something interesting with it.

A great perspective! Old books often contain timeless wisdom, unique perspectives & ideas that can inspire new thoughts &creativity.
It seems to me that all too many imitates & copies what others do these days. Few seem to have an interest in being unique. Or finding new ways.
Should I Stay or Should I Go Now? 30 Days Until Martial Law...?

"Meanwhile, corporate media asks, “Can he do that?” These stories are engineered to distract the public with technicalities. While everyone’s debating what they can and can’t do, they are doing it.
We know this administration’s pattern of loose interpretation when it comes to law and historical precedent. There’s no reason to believe he’ll stop here, instead using this act to use force against anyone his administration considers a threat, regardless of their status or what they’re protesting.
You also have to remember this country has a long, established history of censoring speech and leading witch hunts. During WWI, god help you if you didn’t buy enough liberty bonds or called yourself a pacifist.
We’re the land of moral panics.
Every single one of this administration’s actions have been building toward this moment, when the president suspends our civil and human rights. It explains why they’ve taken such aggressive action toward federal agencies, firing tens of thousands of workers and purging their ranks of anyone who might say no. They’ve already been testing boundaries, daring courts to stop them as they shut down government operations and kidnap U.S. citizens."
