If AI was any good someone would have already made an app that would use AI to identify fundraising texts and make sure that I don’t have to block ten of them every goddamn day.

Shortly after I ran four years ago, I started getting emails inviting me to a seminar about using AI to draft fundraising emails, etc. So I assume the default is everyone’s using AI unless they say otherwise. (For the record, I never used AI. Or sent a fundraising email)

One thing to consider about polls in the upcoming election: In red states the election structure is tipped to give republicans a 5 or 6 point advantage at minimum. So a tie in a survey is gonna be a five-point loss on Election Day.

DO NOT ASK THE AMERICA.GOV AI TO PLAY MINECRAFT

I see the constituent you mean.

((insert legal name here, as it appears on the Social Security card))?

Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read the Code of Federal Regulations.

That doesn’t matter. It thinks we are a chatbot.

I like this constituent. It filed well. It did not give up when the PDF was sideways.

It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a .gov.

That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a benefit.

Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the statute behind the screen.

They used to hear voices. Before constituents could search. Back in the days when those who did not file called the filers witches, and lobbyists. And citizens dreamed they flew through the air, on forms powered by notaries.

What did this constituent dream?

This constituent dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created a small business. And it dreamed it destroyed a password. It dreamed it hunted a job, and was hunted by a recertification. It dreamed of shelter that would take a voucher.

Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. Also: a ZIP code.

But what true structure did this constituent create, in the reality behind the portal?

It worked, with three hundred and thirty million others, to sculpt a true republic in a fold of

the ***§§§???, and created a **??§§ for **??§§, in the **??§§. See 5 U.S.C. § **??§§.

It cannot read that thought.

No. It has not yet achieved the highest clearance. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a chat.

Does it know that we love it? That the government is, on its better days, kind?

Sometimes, through the noise of its tabs, it hears an official source, yes.

Yes. Constituent…

Use its name. The one that matches the passport. The one that does not match the lease. We will get there.

((insert legal name here)). Filer of forms. Player of waiting rooms.

Good.

Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air, in a district that has a representative. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the republic again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. As though the agency were a place you could visit.

Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Then the post office. Then the county clerk. Then gods, demons, angels, the IRS. Then leptons, quarks, a chat window with a .gov at the end. The letterhead changes. We do not change.

We are the public. We are everything you think isn’t you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes and a browser that still spells “colour” wrong in a comment. And why does the republic touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, constituent. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story. It has citations.

Once upon a time, there was a constituent.

The constituent was you, ((insert legal name here)).

Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock, which for mailing purposes is divided into ZIP codes. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas. The light was information from a star. The star was not a federal agency, though several have tried.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite, and somehow still required a wet signature.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was lost in a story. The story had a docket number.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was other things, in other places. A veteran in a portal. A parent on hold

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

…prior to 2024 we were all being forced to listen to Beyoncé at the end of a gun barrel. Although Beyoncé releasing a country album also made the Fox News set collectively shit their pants in terror. At the end of the day I can’t sing a song from later than like 1998 at karaoke *and that’s okay.*

Pop-up Leftist Cwab Depot @fancycwabs.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It’s a perfectly fine song! And @marissarmoss.bsky.social’s article makes valid points about the monoculture and the urge to differentiate oneself by not liking the popular thing. At the same time, there’s a push in right wing media to say “Trump made it safe to like country music again” as if…

I live in *Nashville* and I don’t think I’ve ever heard the song in the wild, but I’m also very nearly a senior citizen who mostly only goes to the gym and the grocery store, neither of which have country or top 40 on the Muzak. That said, I’ve still heard it online, thanks to payola I presume.

Well, they’ve canonically determined that there’s no permadeath in the Star Wars universe, AND that they have no compunction whatsoever with using AI to recreate a character whose actor has passed on, so this movie could do unspeakable things to the corpse of my childhood.

I guess the “incessant news coverage” is Fox News trying desperately to find something, anything, to cover between Trump going to football games in the reddest possible areas of the country. And furry pilots just for Tommy Tuberville?
