Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in #CECOT
==

We interviewed nine Venezuelan men who were sent to CECOT in #ElSalvador by the #Trump administration.

Some said their feelings about what happened were still raw.

All of the men said they were abused physically and mentally during their imprisonment.

Real world testing is crucial, the new Loops webUI isn't working properly in some browsers, so I am working on the fix!

I'm aware that there are high expectations for Loops, so it's vital we resolve any bugs and make the platform as stable as possible before we put it into your hands.

@aj Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg were sitting in the first row when Trump became president of the United States. We have concentration camps in the US, unlawful arrests, Musk has performed a Nazi salute in public etc.

To achieve this, he collaborates with fascists.

Ukraine captures strategic island in the Black Sea after eliminating the entire Russian garrison in a daring nighttime raid — Ukraine's intelligence.

The special forces assault on Tendrivska Spit destroyed sophisticated Russian electronic warfare equipment—including a "Zont" jamming complex and "Rosa" radar station—without suffering a single Ukrainian casualty.

Photographer Eric J. Smith captured a whale sneaking up on oblivious whale watchers.

The picture shows about a dozen people looking over the side of the boat to the right, looking for a whale. Meanwhile in the foreground, what seems a few feet from them, a whale lifts its whole head out of the water and looks at them.

If you're still on #LinkedIn perhaps consider leaving as well?

🆕 blog! “I'm never going back to Matrix”

I should love Matrix. It is a decentralised, privacy preserving, multi-platform chat tool. Goodbye Slack and your ridiculous free limits. Adiós Discord and your weird gamification. Suck it IRC with your obscure syntax and faint stench of BO. WhatsApp and Telegram can stick their heads in a bucket of lukewarm sick and sing sea …

A Tsunami Advisory remains in effect for the California coast, including all coastal regions in the Bay Area and Central Coast, due to an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Kamchatka. Remember that a tsunami is a series of waves carrying a large mass of water. This will NOT be a single wave, and the first wave might not be the largest. Even if wave heights are low, dangerous and powerful currents are possible in the ocean and at the beach. Stay away from the water! Stay away from beaches and waterways! Remain away from shore until local officials say that it is OK to return. Do NOT try to go to the coast to take photos! You will not just put yourself at risk, you will put the people who have to rescue you at risk. Estimated time of arrival is 12:15 AM on July 30 at Monterey and 12:40 AM on July 30 at San Francisco. Tsunami hazard zone maps are available at https://www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/tsunami/maps

I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠

I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it!

Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them. Built on a modular system, each letter can fit inside any given rectangular container and transforms continuously if its ratio changes. In theory, it's infinitely flexible.

For more information and interactive demos, see the website: https://ronikaufman.github.io/flexflex
