"Why do AI company logos look like buttholes?"
"PS. This post is meant to be humorous, but let's not pretend there isn't a serious point here about the depressing #sameness in modern #design. No actual anuses were consulted during this research, though several designers were clearly thinking about them."

The closest form of closeness is no distance at all.
When the veil of "me" and "you" collapses, what remains isn’t connection — it is sameness.
Presence recognizing itself, without gap, without bridge, without need.

The tyranny of the algorithm: why every coffee shop looks the same
"From the generic hipster cafe to the ‘Instagram wall’, the internet has pushed us towards a kind of global ubiquity – and this phenomenon is only going to intensify"
"The homogeneity contrasted with the overall hipster philosophy of the 2010s, namely, that by consuming certain products and cultural artefacts you could proclaim your own uniqueness apart from the mainstream crowd – in this case a particular coffee shop rather than an obscure band or clothing brand. “The irony of it all is that these spaces are supposed to represent spaces of individuality, but they’re incredibly monotonous."
"This homogenisation is not just a phenomenon of our own moment; it is a consequence of changes that happened long before algorithmic social media feeds, and is just as likely to intensify in the future."
"When her cafe started selling coffee online, Facebook and Instagram seemed to throttle its reach – unless it bought advertising and boosted the social media company’s own profits. It felt like algorithmic blackmail: pay our toll or we won’t promote you."

This is a terrible time of year!
Not only is it dark most of the time in the Northern Hemisphere (Gaelic speakers aptly call the last month of the year An Dùbhlachd ‘The Darkness’)
But most of December is basically an assault on those of us who value routine and sameness
Then the liminal period between Christmas and New Year is an opportunity for media (including social media ‘content creators’) to put out low-effort compilations and retrospectives – which for the most part none of us want to read/watch/listen to
And now, a few days into the year, comes the awkward period when I would dearly love some social contact, but I don’t want to pressure any of my friends into talking or meeting up because they probably need a break from all their excess socialising in December (which I did none of)
