- Reposted by Abby StylianouI’m trying to understand Republicans’ latest interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. You can now be executed by federal agents if you possess a firearm? Even after you are disarmed? I’m just trying to keep your position straight on this “shall not be infringed” stuff.

- So many layers of awful to this, but let’s be real fucking clear that the child sexual abuse material generating machine wouldn’t be okay if only the children consented.
- Want to know what’s going to make it real hard to investigate cases of child sexual abuse and trafficking in real time? Creating huge volumes of generated materials and making it impossible for investigators to keep up or know what’s real and what’s not. Great job folks. The kids are totally safer!
- Every piece of reporting I've seen on this is drastically understating the scale. These are from Grok's replies within a single minute. Time-to-reply is degrading because it has such a backlog of NCII/CSAM requests to fulfill. Conservatively I estimate it is producing more than 5000 of these per day
- It was a privilege to share with @spectrum.ieee.org about the work we do on TraffickCam to support the analysts @ncmec.org in recognizing where victims of human trafficking and child sexual abuse are photographed.
- Human traffickers often post photos of their victims in hotel rooms. This app is asking people to take photos of their hotel rooms, so analysts can determine where the photos were taken. spectrum.ieee.org/traffickcam-...

- Reposted by Abby StylianouThe coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
- Reposted by Abby StylianouSenator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?
- @aoc.bsky.social should announce primary of @schumer.senate.gov tonight. Either he orchestrated this on the backs of retiring senators and ones like Kaine who aren’t up until 2030, or he has laughably bad control of his caucus. In either case, he must go. Why were we put through this for 40 days?!

- Husband has been out of work for 40 days. The disrespect to the challenges we’ve had to just give up and not get anything. If this is what you were going to do, do it 40 days ago… I can’t even describe the betrayal we feel @schumer.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov
- Mix of Bon Bon Anglais and Country Club and it’s not even close.

- #CV4EO will be back at #WACV2026 @wacvconference.bsky.social ! The schedule is taking shape, and we are looking for full paper submissions (in the proceedings) and non-archival short papers on a variety of computer vision for earth observation topics! More info at: geoai.ornl.gov/cv4eo-wacv/
- Eric Xing, the first author on this paper and a PhD student with @jacobsn.bsky.social at WashU, doesn't seem to be on bsky. But he's a rockstar who's been killing it finding new ways to attack the sorts of very hard retrieval problems that our labs care about (like TraffickCam!).
- Super happy that QuARI: Query Adaptive Retrieval Improvement was accepted at #NeurIPS2025. You can significantly boost retrieval performance for very hard retrieval tasks by learning query-specific transformations of your encoders. w/ @jacobsn.bsky.social @pless.bsky.social arxiv.org/pdf/2505.21647
