RIP #Maru. I feel like I knew him through his YouTube videos my whole adult life. I hope there are a lot of cozy cardboard boxes wherever he is now.

Until 1984, the Santa Fe Railroad moved freight cars across the San Francisco Bay by barge. Railroad cars were decoupled from trains and loaded onto special "carfloat" barges, which were pulled across the bay by a small fleet of tug boats, to be re-attached to trains at the other end. The service ended when a fire destroyed the Point Richmond pier (the East Bay terminal for the operation), and that was that.

A handful of rail carfloat operations continue in the US, most notably in NY Harbor.

I normally prefer lower contrast, but the ruined industrial subject worked reasonably well with a high contrast, backlit approach here. The sun was just above and directly in front of the frame,

🤔 @aral|ek oso irtenbide burutsua aurkitu du: #Mastodon sareko egiaztapen sistema erabiltzea https://joinmastodon.org/verification

🇵🇸 Palestinarrak direla esaten dutenekin harremanetan jartzen da, eta bideo-dei baten bidez, benetan hala direla egiaztatzen du. Ondoren, #GazaVerified direktorioan sartzen ditu, eta horrek beraien profilak egiaztatzeko aukera ematen die https://gaza-verified.org/

🤓 Sinplea eta eraginkorra.

if you are a webdev…

and you had an issue on the website your are working on because of a web browser…

Why didn't you file a bug on a browser bug tracker? What are the frictions?

The account at https://troet.cafe/@m7moodfamily (@m7moodfamily@troet.cafe) is a scam. It’s got hundreds of posts even though it joined yesterday and it links to gaza-verified.org even though we have not verified it.

I’m also seeing copies of the account on troet.cafe and elsewhere. Be careful with any accounts that contain “moodfamily” in the name.

I reported it to troet.cafe yesterday but no action has yet been taken.

If there is a real Mahmoud family account please contact me and we’ll verify you.

If you’re the person running the scam accounts: stop! You are stealing from starving people in Gaza. Shame on you. Have you not an ounce of humanity?

Realised an incredibly cool thing about @11ty as I've been adopting `markdown-it-abbr`[1]:

If your templates are nunjucks-flavoured markdown (or similar), you can do something like this:

```md
A sentence about TLAs and USB and NFC and HID and FAT.

{% include "_includes/acronyms.md" %}
```

And then have your `acronyms.md` include the expansions:

```md

*[TLAs]: Three Letter Acronyms
...
```

Sigh, another Safari bug that I can't work around: https://github.com/nolanlawson/emoji-picker-element/issues/281#issuecomment-3256832247

Honestly I was excited to write a reproducible test and file a bug, until I found there's already been a bug open since 2021. 🙄

“One of the dynamics of the past 10 or 15 years of American politics has been a profoundly irresponsible Republican Party — a party that has almost completely abdicated any serious attempt to govern — being bailed out by a Democratic Party that, rightfully, I suppose, feels an obligation to govern the country.

The effect of that, in terms of the message it sends to the public, is that there are no costs involved in electing anti-government maniacs. "

“democracies’ military occupations of regions within their national borders… occurred for a range of reasons, and often started out suppressing violence, but they ended up provoking or exacerbating widespread civil unrest, political violence and terrorism.”

I fear a military move into Chicago will result in violent resistance.

@Aseelsehwel @NouranKhaledGh @mohshbair @palestine A quick announcement that I’m very excited about: @joynewacc and I are going to run Gaza Verified together now and we’ll both be present during the video chats.

I’ll update the site as soon as I can to reflect this.

Thank you so much for volunteering to help in the middle of everything else, Joy. You’re amazing :)

@SearingTruth I’m confused, when exactly was America known for saving children?… Was it during the Native American genocide, during slavery, during segregation, while dropping atomic bombs on civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, during its invasion of Vietnam, while murdering over half a million civilians in Iraq… when exactly was it?
