Hard Pass

The backstory behind this is that I started my first semester of college more or less right after starting Estrogen and cutting contact with my mother. Today marks the end of my first semester so I immortalized my favorite 'low' moment of the half year.

As House Speaker Mike Johnson eyes a vote next week on a to-be-announced health care package, a growing number of House Republicans are revolting against leadership by trying to force a vote on extending the expiring Affordable Care Act enhanced subsidies.

Self-hosting anything that is deemed "content" openly on the web in 2025 is a battle of attrition between you and forces who are able to buy tens of thousands of proxies to ruin your service for data they can resell.

This is depressing. Profoundly depressing. i look at the statistics board for my reverse-proxy and i never see less than 96.7% of requests classified as bots at any given moment. The web is filled with crap, bots that pretend to be real people to flood you. All of that because i want to have my little corner of the internet where i put my silly little code for other people to see.

i have to learn to protect myself from industrial actors in order to put anything online, because anything a person makes is valuable, and that value will be sucked dry by every tech giant to be emulsified, liquified, strained, and ultimately inexorably joined in an unholy mesh of learning weights.

Lawton Chiles Middle School in Oviedo went into lockdown Tuesday.

Its AI weapons detection system detected a student holding a clarinet in a similar manner as someone might hold a rifle. It “triggered the Code Red to activate,” the school’s principal told families in an automated message.
