For my fellow UI/UX Tech geeks, AI impacts so many places. Google recently made a seemingly ordinary design change to one of its core icons. And to most normal people, that’s all it is. But it’s also a signal to pay attention to if you’re in the software field.

Amy Sherald’s art invites stillness—but also reflection.
Looking forward to sharing our conversation about her work on *The Rhythmic Lens* this Thursday. #MichelleObama #Portraiture #theCulture #CulturalMemory
Painted in 2018, it feels like she's looking right at now.

That’s what Amy Sherald’s work does—anchors you in the moment. Her portrait of Michelle Obama radiates quiet power, dignity, presence. Explore her impact with us Thursday on The Rhythmic Lens.

In every era, inclusion has been a battleground. But historically, a push toward a broader, more representative society has moved forward—often through the arts. At *The New Obsidian*, we take the long view. #Culture #Excellence #HistoryAndProgress #Inclusion

So caught up in the blue v. red rivalry, loyal fans defend even their shittiest players while scorning the objectively good ones from the opposing side. What if we're looking at it wrong?
