"the AI of the Habermas Machine... is posited as a tool to realise the micro-fascist dream of each of us being born with a specific and immutable location on a political spectrum. Thus, essentialist ‘politics’ becomes not a creative process" grpahicdeisgn.com/writing/emai...

Not sure if this is the cleanest way to do it but I've federated the Activitypub feed from grpahicdeisgn.com/writing so it echoes my sporadic email newsletter posts, give it a follow if you would ever fancy being updated on these

The starter pack thing is great because you can click on a bunch of them and then enjoy round after round of the only fun thing about twitter: hate-unfollowing people for being weird dweebs

So many posts on this platform along the lines of 'this is Twitter like it used to be' which feels so regressive. Misremembered nostalgic yearning aside, where's the ambition in this?

Don't we want to move forward, to iterate, advance communication beyond its extremely obvious failures? I'm bored

I hate that I'm here. I hated Twitter when I left it in 2021, I'm not sure why I have a problematic craving for the discourse again!!

I think I just need to keep my mind churning over a few things for now but I'm terrified of the vapidness, the worthlessness of the chat on Twitter that ate my time
