Keep coming back to this site HTML For People.
The web needs more single-topic book-like websites. Is there a term for this? I've heard “blook" used before but I can't find much on the web.
I'd love to curate a collection of "blooks"

A couple of updates to https://some.pics:
1. You can now point a custom domain at your some.pics page! Visit the omg.lol Switchboard page for your address, add your external domain, and set it to “Pictures”.
2. You can now provide specific, distinct alt text for your pictures. The existing Description field remains in place, but now you can (optionally) offer a visual description of your pictures separately from a more casual description.
Up next: proper API documentation! 😅

“People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid. That’s Not True.
—Organizations that provide vital care for desperate and vulnerable people around the world have been forced to halt operations, turn away patients and lay off staff. “I’ve never seen anything that scares me as much as this,” one doctor said.

Call to action for #WebComponent / #ShadowDOM fans: I've added an experimental flag to Firefox lifting the restriction on adoptedStyleSheets, meaning shadowroots can adopt `link.sheet` or `style.sheet`.
Please try this out, and let me know if you encounter issues!

Dear Dangerously Hapless and Enabling Media,
Using the nazi US president’s euphemisms in your articles and headlines is how we got here in the first place.
He’s not planning a “migrant facility” offshore. IT’S A FUCKING CONCENTRATION CAMP.
Connect the nazi dots for your audiences, ffs, lest you end up offshored yourselves.
Bestest,

In the old #ASCII days, you could change a letter between upper and lower case by XORing its character code with 0x20. Of course, if you tried this with anything that wasn't a letter, you'd get nonsense results.
If you try that with #Unicode code points, it sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. But Unicode can deliver much more impressive nonsense when it doesn't.
A fun example I just found: the "lower-case" version of CAR is NO PEDESTRIANS.
>>> chr(ord('🚗') ^ 0x20)
