Wow, seems the people farmers of surveillance capitalism have fully embraced scammer techniques now.
Ran into this new flow on a number of sites just now (Indiewire, Variety, and RollingStone) delivered by the colossal douchebags at html-load.com who run report-error.com.
They make it look like a browser error has occurred and then tell you to disable your tracker/ad blocker.
To the asshole developers who built this for them instead of refusing: Fuck you for making everyone…

USPS changes may delay postmark dates. What it means for your tax returns, ballots, bills and more
Due to operational changes at the Postal Service, the agency says there will be more delays between when you mail something and when it gets postmarked.

This interview from 4 years ago mentions Konate's father being ill.
"Hamadi has never been to see him play, because of illness, but watches his matches on TV and Konaté calls him every day."
My uninformed speculation: his father's health took a turn for the worse this season and the strain of worry and concern affected Ibou deeply. It would explain a lot. He is a fairy private person, so we likely won't know, but if that's right and he's carried thi…

Ibrahima Konaté: I asked Jürgen Klopp, ‘If I was your son, what would you advise?’
Everyone who has coached and played with Ibrahima Konaté says the same, that he’s a young man with an old soul, and for all the outsized physical and technical

Scientists demonstrate low-cost, high-quality lenses for super-resolution microscopy
Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less than $1 to produce. The new fabrication approach is poised to broaden access to fully customizable optical parts and could enable completely new types of imaging tools.

The past couple of weeks have shown just how far even Trump has moved to block immigration
and to demonize immigrants in his second term,
erasing the lines around people who traditionally have been seen as special cases.
