NPR interviewed five of the Latin American deportees.
We're not naming them, as they say it could put them at risk from potential threats back in their home countries.
"They took us, they put us on a plane, and they chained us by our hands and feet," said one Colombian man,
sitting on a plastic chair in a shabby hotel near Kinshasa's airport.
The deportees didn't know their final destination until they were on the plane, he added.

One of my personal favourite charities is the animal rescue in Smithers BC. I first learned about Northern Lights from Knowledge Network. They now have a very small bear - and a video
youtube.com/watch?v=DDLNspqzbAU

March 23rd marked International Bear Day, and at NLWS, the occasion began with our first rescue of the year.

Introducing “Jelly”
This year, our naming theme is Condiments. The rescuers named the cub “Jelly” 

A very small bear cub had been spotted alone since the previous day. Overnight, the cub’s condition deteriorated further, becoming hypothermic and unresponsive. The loud cries heard the day before had faded, making it clear that the mother was not returning.

Can I just say I hate that "Canada Strong" has gone from political pitch to clumsy two-worded adjective?
Quoteth the Prime Minister:
""If you have a bit of extra money, we'll make it easy for you to invest in the fund to help build Canada strong for all,".
Aaauuuggghhh
Just use regular words.
Also, naming your Sovereign Wealth Fund after your own partisan nomenclature is a great way to ensure it doesn't live past the current political party in power.
Not everything has to be a slogan!

Variety here is "Queen Rania". I am not generally a fan of flower-variety naming conventions, but I do like this flower, in spite of its monarchic name.

🥳 New Kitten Release
• `KittenComponent` (and thereby `KittenPage`) gains an `emit()` method.
Use this to bubble events from your page to all child components or from any component to all of its child components.
This is useful, for example, for setting the state of a page or a component where each child component knows how to present itself for that state.

(That, in turn, is useful if you want to be able to restore state based on URLs.)

Just went through a code file and replaced "target" with "recipient" in a bunch of docs and variable names, because I had had two senses of "target" and because I want to encourage less-combat-focused thinking among potential devs (which at the moment and for the foreseeable future is just me). Zero changes to code functionality (unless I messed up) and took maybe 30 minutes. Got me thinking about the goal of software development and who would view that time as "wasted".
From a short-sighted "measure user-facing functionality" standpoint there was basically zero progress made. From a "cultivating-code-understanding-entities" perspective, there are both immediate and long-term gains. I got a chance to review the entire file at a high level which improves my understanding of things even if no changes had been made. The changes increase clarity of a lot of documentation, as well as variable naming clarity in code which deals with both senses of "target" which now has clear separation between variables that refer to targets and recipients. If there are any other devs in the future, this will help them a lot. Even if not, by increasing my own development efficacy, the expected values for project-gets-shipped and overall-project-impact just went up. I've also helped myself not introduce the same ambiguity in all my future projects, because I'll remember this time investment, and I've bent the ideological flavor of the protect towards neutral/beneficial interactions between "initiators and recipients" instead of hostile interactions between "initiators and targets".
Overall, well worth the time investment if we consider all the subtler benefits, and not just a very crude measure of user-facing behavior. (Secretly, this is also a post about LLMs.)

‘Unconstrained’ Trump seems to be on a quest to name most everything after himself
Of course he has, since "Decorum has typically seen presidents wait until after they leave office – or, indeed, until after they have died – for things to be named after them, and it is an honor usually bestowed by their successors."
He's a very smart guy - he knows he's not worthy of any honors, just opprobrium

Content warning: complaining about Microslop but happy about Vivaldi

HAHAHa after trying to force Copislop in my Outloose for weeks (that seems to have finally calmed down after much complaining) Microslop is trying another angle, forcing the Edgy browser when I open links in Tears.. hahahaa As If I was ever going to fall for this
GO Away Edgy Slop!!
Let me use this occasion to tell you all how happy I am about Vivaldi, Vivaldi just like the composer (or rather his music) is light and pretty and to the point, not a note wasted, ever…

Screenshot of a pop up that opened when I clicked on a link in my Teams app saying "open link with" and giving a choice between "Microslop Edgy" and "Default browser" (of course without naming it) with.. the first one pre-selected even though my default browser, is well, the second one

This is really good skywriter.blue/@eliothiggins.b
"Disordered counterpublics simulate VDA but invert its meaning. 'Verification’ becomes selective sourcing. 'Deliberation' becomes a loyalty test. 'Accountability’ means naming enemies. They look democratic on the surface but accelerate collapse.”
So much of this applies to so many spheres right now, but I see a lot of what I quoted in nominally leftist spaces.
