As a non-binary person living in #Bergen, #Norway, this video made me cry from pure euphoria, a wave of relief knowing I am seen just as I am.
I hope it brings you the same confidence and happiness, showing that you are truly seen and celebrated for who you are.

Good evening folks! these are the last two #photos from our hike in the #schwarzwald (seen on my blog).
I saw that little stream next to our route and stepped down there to take some photos. The strong highlights in the back made it very hard to take the photos that I had intended. I guess …

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis on Oct. 9 ordered “visible identification” that is “prominently displayed.”
But dozens of photographs of uniformed immigration agents shot by Chicago Sun-Times photojournalists in four separate locations since the court order show how the feds have fallen short.
The 80-plus photos show that not all officers are displaying a visible identification code that mixes numbers and letters during some of the most contentious recent immigration actions that…

IDs are mismatched, illegible — or still missing three weeks after judge’s order to immigration officers
In dozens of photographs at four locations, Chicago Sun-Times photojournalists documented federal officers failing to wear the “visible identification” needed to hold individuals accountable during the ongoing immigration “blitz.”

Learning Generalizable Shape Completion with SIM(3) Equivariance
3D shape completion methods typically assume scans are pre-aligned to a canonical frame. This leaks pose and scale cues that networks may exploit to memorize absolute positions rather than inferring intrinsic geometry. When such alignment is absent in real data, performance collapses. We argue that robust generalization demands architectural equivariance to the similarity group, SIM(3), so the model remains agnostic to pose and scale. Following this principle, we introduce the first SIM(3)-equi…

Stragglers from Myanmar scam center raided by army cross into Thailand as buildings are blown up

The news on Tuesday came after more than 1,500 people had left in the past week. The KK Park site was identified by Thai officials and independent experts as housing a major cybercrime operation. It was raided by Myanmar’s army in mid-October as part of operations starting in early September to suppress cross-bor…
