Dr. B's B-Sides 🍉🌺

this is me

I was here for the Hive AI incident :-/ blacksky.community/profile/did:...

I don't even know what to say about @aaron.bsky.team announcing that actually they feed all images posted on Bsky into an AI that just a year ago they told everyone they had banned from using Bsky images

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

and I would love to have a singular list I could block so I don't have to see the slop people are posting.

prostrating yourself like this for plagiarism machines is completely BONKERS

oh COME ON. are they really trying to suggest that "AI slop" is a fucking slur???????

What if we all just post the word Link over and over again repost it and like then until even the normies are bothered?

Migrate to BlackSky instructions:
1. tektite.cc, disable 2FA
2. Login w/ real pw NOT app pw
3. Click migrate to blacksky button
4. Add handle, new pw, use dropdown if non-Black user
5. Click Migrate
6. When done transferring, enter code sent to your email
7. Complete!
blacksky.community is site

All I can think of at this point is more support to BlackSky to develop and be independent.

Clarification of words on my OP in comments, but gist is:

Support ongoing developments whether BlackSky or NorthSky or wherever.

A screenshot of an iMessage conversation at 8:26 with 95% battery shown at the top. The screen shows a conversation with contact AJ whose profile picture appears at the top center with the initials AJ below it. There are two message bubbles visible. The first message bubble shows the end of a previous message reading: that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion. The second message bubble is from AJ sent at 08:25 To: Bluesky Moderation Team and reads: I wasn’t promoting hateful content though. It’s clearly just a reaction meme. If I was disrupting other users why was that not the reason given in the first to emails. It’s very clear I was not being threatening or giving a violent connotation. Nor did I incite any violence. The alt text was an accurate description of the image and nothing more. A blue share/forward button appears to the right of this message. Below the messages is a purple notification icon followed by text that reads AJ has notifications silenced. At the bottom of the screen is a message input field labeled iMessage with a plus button on the left, microphone button on the right, and an on-screen QWERTY keyboard displayed below.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

it'd be less duplicitous if they said they were exercising their thin-skinned prerogative to make people who embarrass them disappear. citing the charlie kirk meme is so dishonest it borders on pathetic. nobody is this credulous and it's a little embarrassing for them that they thought anyone was.

Since Israel signed a ceasefire deal with Lebanon, Israel has:

- killed 280 people
- wounded 625 people
- violated the agreement around 4,500 times

That’s in under a year

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Israel strikes Gaza, killing 24 before Egypt talks on Trump ceasefire plan Israel and Hamas set to hold indirect talks on Monday to discuss a US-led initiative largely accepted by both sides.

Robot personhood/rights is conceptually bogus and legally puts more power/rights in the hands of those that develop and deploy robots/AI systems

Much of contemporary authoritarian culture involves a will to power via a politics of masculine and feminine personal appearance (RFK, Hegseth, mar-a-lago face, etc)--yet when apparent in physically embodied space, such a politics produces an irony captured in 4k. In this essay I will

Agitation and the petty need to lord power over people when they call you out on your shit rather than acknowledging that she’s complicit to and a direct cause of the problem.

Whiteness doesn’t care ergo Jay doesnt care. Why would she? She pulls the strings ergo she is divorced from the problem.

Thats because there is no strategy beyond “Troll all the Queers and Blacks for shits and giggles”

Its been what, 3 solid days of this now not counting all the times prior to when Jay never spoke up at all? Strategy was never a thing.

okay now I did not come over here to be bombarded with AI male versions of the disarray Barbie meme

There's no mainstream social media site that's gonna beat any -ism allegations because all these mainstream platforms are successful because they operate within that hierarchy and benefit from it.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

I'm still debating if I will completely migrate over to this account from my initial bsky one... for now I'm trying to find people again.
