I guess the fact that I finally got my friend into my bed when I've been wanting to kiss them and more since we met a bit over a year ago. They were completely oblivious to that being the plan 2 weeks ago... we originally met to see if we clicked to hookup, they also expressed a desire back then.

I don't write, I'm terrible at writing, it literally gives me severe anxiety.

I was docked points because I hadn't written my speech.
I think it took a bit for people to realize my speech was literally about the fact that I didn't do the work.

Ironically... it was the highest grade I got in that class.

I once gave a speech in my speech class in college (on like something that caused us distress?)... without ever writing anything... I literally didn't know what to write for a speech. So I got to class and gave my speech on the fact that I wasn't prepared and procrastinated too hard. I got a B.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Ep. 18: September to Remember
October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min
Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

... is it Black people cursing you out? Because it's probably mostly Black people and there's a good reason... it's because that's a racist thought to just let them deal with shit there.

I'm just going to assume the customs side of CBP is extremely limited on staff actually doing customs work. Which has now massively increased in workload because of the de minimis exemption being removed.

Oh but this is like being a practitioner of iaido (or HEMA or other sword art) and seeing any media with katana (or other swords for specific styles) being used.

NO YOU DON'T HOLD IT LIKE THAT!! THAT'S IMPROPER FORM!! REVERSE GRIP AGAIN!?

"but the company doesn't offer image generation services or even text generation"

That's what I was replying to, not training with user data.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

fucked up that this is all just landlords swatting their own buildings to get rid of all the working class residents so they can raise the rent or sell to a developer who'll flip them into high end condos or w/e

like it's a real estate scam! it's a fucking land grab! a fire for the insurance money!

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

It is especially when Hive actually has a lot of tools, including creating custom models and giving direct feedback on issues like this.

It's weird for Aaron to say this... when HIVE literally provides moderation tools for tweaking shit.

All HIVE provides is metedata and it's up to moderation to define the fucking rules if prosthetics are being mislabeled... either Bsky is doing it wrong or Hive doesn't have metadata for that

Q: Does Hive remove content or ban users from our platform?

A: No. The Hive API simply returns classification metadata based on our model outputs. Our results tell customers whether material across various classes (e.g., sexuality, violence, hate) is present in user-generated content based on a confidence score (for visual models) or a severity level (for text models). Our customers then use those results to inform appropriate enforcement actions - such as automatically tagging or removing NSFW content - based on their own policies and practices.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. I will never vote for him and you shouldn't either.

Excerpt from an article discussing LGBT+ protections in California legislation. It states that Governor Newsom neither signed nor vetoed certain bills. One bill strengthened protections under Sen. Scott Wiener’s “State of Refuge” law. The highlighted portion reads: “At least four bills directly addressed trans protections,” followed by examples such as healthcare and patient confidentiality, streamlining legal name and gender changes, nondiscrimination in health insurance, and inclusive homelessness programs.

Also looking through the Hive TOS, notably searching for "Customer-Provided Content"

Makes it very unclear if the data provided is used or not in services. Because it says it doesn't for "Developed IP"... but kind of fudges it in plenty of other places.

Obviously yes for custom models, otherwise 🤷‍♀️

@aaron.bsky.team what the fuck are you even talking about... HIVE provides a lot of tools for you to moderate how you want. AND YOU CAN GIVE THEM FEEDBACK LIKE IDK "Hey Hive your models don't account for disabilities and prosthetics which is a huge problem"
