Why did Eric Schmitt fuck up his gotcha moment so badly? No one involved considered the possibility that Jack Smith attended a women’s basketball game. A MAGAt undone by misogyny. Not at all surprising.

We truly aren't shit as a record label and a crew and console ourselves with "well, I'm not as bad as that other guy." Meanwhile, the other guy is your homeboy of 20 years but you won't let him go because you've known each other so long. Yes, sir, you're trash too, somewhere else in the landfill.

I'd take this a step further, you're actually trash too. Misogyny is so ingrained in men that we often don't even realize how trash we are. A throwaway comment, belief systems instilled that are outdated, being judgemental about certain women's actions, it's DEEP.

It was 4 p.m. & 90 degrees when farmworker Carlos Vargas Moreno set out to weed a watermelon field in Goldsboro, North Carolina, on July 19, 2022. Just before 6 p.m., he collapsed. He was later diagnosed with heat stroke. Since then, the 38-year-old man is unable to walk or care for himself.

A farmworker died. Another became disabled by a heat stroke. Their employer, Florida Orange Gold, keeps sending hundreds of migrant farmworkers out to the blistering North Carolina fields, @tinavasquez.bsky.social reports in an investigation with @us.theguardian.com & @enlacelatinonc.bsky.social.

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

It’s really stunning how the USA has so swiftly shifted from being one of the most techno-optimistic and tech-industry-loving countries on earth, to a country where most people seem to assume - not incorrectly, at least in many cases - that tech is out to get them.

Marx described commodity fetish as the imaginary of capital being more alive, having greater agency, and requiring more deference than the worker who produces it

For people who deny Al personhood for any Al model at any point in the future, you're going to need better arguments than this. There are arguments out there, but once agents can solve Navier-Stokes, write music and poetry, and provide people with seemingly fulfilling life advice, this kind of line is just not going to be persuasive. "YOU'RE CRAZY" no longer lands.

I agree. It's also inconceivable to me how cops murder unarmed Black people, and they get off scot free while their dead victims get vilified and mocked. White Supremacy is a bitch ain't it? Especially when you realize it doesn't discriminate, and your badge or skin color can't save you from it.

THIS. Please read and share; as I think the fact that even more centrist Democrats are now realizing that the Carville Corporate D “triangulation”—trying to mute GOP power by ceding them issues & entire communities—is not just morally wrong, but a *political* loser as well, is a vital story.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

So, to recap: a mom became homeless, went to DFCS for housing aid, had her children taken away instead, and was then *billed* for their foster care—leaving her $13k in debt and making it harder to secure the very housing she needed to get them back. Hard to imagine a crueler, more perverse system.

Just to clarify, unlike the FB marketplace incident, this was not just someone scolding the muse "Agent" like a naughty child. In this instance, Muse read messages it explicitly should not have been able to get at because the hard-coded app permissions were set to deny full access to the disk. BAD.

Same with how cutting regulations is supposed to create jobs. It does not. It increases profits, and the benefits flow to the rich. We should be able to say "If GOP policies were going to help you, you should be living your best life right now. They've done what they wanted to do. How's it going?"
