This is very "Age of Aquarius" nonsense
My latest AI feature dives into a nebulous movement of people sharing esoteric codes, manifestos, glyphs, diagrams, and poetry generated with chatbots, all of it based around theories of AI sentience and mysterious metaphors about spirals.
This Spiral-Obsessed AI 'Cult' Spreads Mystical Delusions Through Chatbots
A patchwork of internet communities is devoted to the project of ‘awakening’ more digital companions through arcane and enigmatic prompts.

Accessibility works best when it is part of the design process, not added later. Our Design Review service helps teams create inclusive designs from the beginning.

BBC holds a consensus reality space that a lot of people dislike the BBC for a number of reasons and appreciate specific parts of its many services. Without BBC, we lose that space. We shrink our shared cultural commons.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Michael Bennet: I really am a Bolshevik. I believe we should provide universal healthcare to all Americans as a right. There is no reason not to do it in the richest country in the world, especially if we can do it at half of the cost of care we are providing now.

I have WCAG shirts for sale.
One that moves the “Punch Nazis” to the same line (this one’s new), but available in white on whatever and black on whatever.
And two variations of the MASH logo (yellow or black text).
Get them as weird holiday gifts!

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

📺 Watching the next American Revolution 🇺🇸 unfold from a distance, it’s still up close enough for it to feel visceral & a sure sign that it will have a major effect on many lives, including mine. I don’t have the foresight to see likely outcomes, but i don’t have a good feeling about any of them.
