Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.

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

you should treat a trans person today

"stop using anti transgender language"

instead of "thank you", say "here is $20"
instead of "hey can you grab the door", say "do you want me to send you money"
instead of "have a good day at work", say "here is $20"
instead of "how was your day", say "have $20"
instead of "good morning", say "let me give you money"

This part stuck out to me because a) yeah, gaining critical mass to normalize bigotry has been the goal of the anti-trans side the entire time and b) that's a crazy thing to say anonymously

A Democratic strategist, granted anonymity to speak candidly, told The Sun the breakthrough for Democrats using more anti-trans language came last year, when Rob Sand, now the Democratic nominee for governor in Iowa, was asked by a conservative radio host whether he thought transgender girls belonged in girls’ sports. Sand responded with a simple “no.” The strategist said the moment immediately circulated among party political strategists.

“Rob Sand just did it, and it was fine,” the strategist said. “There’s power in numbers, and all you have to do is tell these people that you have the majority opinion. And then you can just say it.”

Lost in the discourse about where Dems are is the fact Republicans know the anti-trans ads aren't helping them but, as Terry here openly admits, hurting trans people is all they have left. They'd use their dying breath to ruin one more trans kid's life.

How the fuck are any of us functional. We’re 1% of the population, give or take, and we have Great Depression employment numbers

But Democrats in Republican-leaning districts are under pressure to respond. One Democratic strategist estimated that fully half of the GOP’s messaging this year has been around transgender issues — about the same time they’ve given the economy, data centers, immigration and crime put together.

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

I went to a bar with a friend from work and asked where the bathroom was and the bartender offered to show me and then locked me in the bathroom with him and kissed me and felt me up and wouldn't take no for an answer. I finally got him out and now I've locked myself in here. I don't know what to do. I need to leave but I have drinks on my tab. I think I need to just bolt
