"The war in Gaza has killed 35 members of my extended family. ... For this disaster, I hold Hamas primarily responsible," @afalkhatib writes.
"Understanding the distinction between Hamas terrorists and the Palestinians who have long suffered under their rule is critical for Westerners if they want to truly help Gaza." wapo.st/3ZHcDET

This July 4th, don't just light a sparkler — light a fire.
They fly the flag while stripping away rights.
From women. From Black and Brown communities. From LGBTQ+ and trans people.
They call it "freedom" — but only for themselves.
This isn't freedom. This is control.
And we refuse to celebrate a regime that thrives on silence, fear, and division.
So this Independence Day, we show up — in the streets, in solidarity, in strength.
For bodily autonomy. For queer and trans liberation. For racial justice.
For true freedom — for all of us.
✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Bring your rage. Bring your hope. Bring each other.

Natural cooling methods in #Morocco
October 27, 2024
"Morocco’s hot and dry climate makes it hard to keep homes cool. But, the country’s #TraditionalArchitecture has found clever ways to beat the heat. Using the environment, Moroccan builders have created natural cooling methods.
"They use things like porous [clay] jars and #mashrabiyas. These techniques keep homes cool without needing #AirConditioning.
Key Takeaways
- Moroccan architecture uses passive cooling like thermal mass design, shading, and ventilation.
- Evaporative cooling systems like porous jars and mashrabiyas cool homes by evaporation.
- Features like wind catchers, courtyards, and underground irrigation help cool naturally.
- Modern projects are using these old methods in new buildings for #sustainable cooling.
- Moroccan cooling methods show a deep understanding of the local climate and a focus on comfort and well-being.
Traditional Moroccan Architecture:
"Moroccan architecture shows the clever use of #nature to make homes comfortable. At its core are the riads, traditional Moroccan houses. These houses have thick walls of clay or stone that keep the inside cool, even when it’s very hot outside.
#Riads and #Courtyards
The central courtyard, often with a #garden or fountain, acts as a natural air conditioner. In Fez, where it can get up to 104°F (40°C) in July, this design makes air conditioning unnecessary. The thick walls and central courtyard work together to keep the inside cool.
Khettaras and Fountains
"Traditional Moroccan architecture also uses advanced irrigation systems called khettaras. These systems bring water from the mountains to the cities. This water is used for cooling fountains and pools, lowering the temperature through evaporation.
"The sound of water and greenery in these courtyards make a peaceful and cool atmosphere. This adds to the natural cooling effect.
"The architecture in Morocco showcases a sustainable and cost-effective model for contemporary buildings, emphasizing the effectiveness of design and natural materials over reliance on air conditioning.'
"The traditional Moroccan building methods teach us about sustainable design. They use local, natural materials and work with the environment. This is a valuable lesson for modern architecture around the world."

you can still use OpenRC instead if you want, and sxmo will continue to do so by default.
you can read here about why they added systemd.
As much as we might want to romanticise the idea of spending 6, 12, 24 months attempting to come up with an even vaguely competitive alternative to systemd,
There are alternatives like runit, dinit, s6. About some of the more useful features of systemd, how about we recreate them without thight coupling to one specific init+service manager-in-one?

I have a ton of postcards from Japan. As part of my postcard cataloging I've been OCRing the text on the back of the cards (which my postcardbot uses for alt text), but the Japanese cards pose special problems, not the least of which is my unfamiliarity with the language or symbols. Also sometimes the text is vertical and my OCR doesn't deal well with that (I'm using a Javascript version of Tesseract, which I've customized for my particular cataloging process).
So I'm wondering if I can crowdsource validation of the OCRed text on some of these. Consider this an experiment.
This is item 5714. Luckily it's blank, so I can post it without redaction. I've pasted the OCR result below. If you know Japanese and can clean it up, reply with the cleaned up result and I'll use that instead.
Note that the first line is from the center. Also my OCR seems to collapse all space, and inserts a space between each character (should those be removed?) And finally, when I clean up OCRed text in Roman languages I typically delete any line breaks, but since I can't read the language, I don't know if the line breaks here should be removed or not.

They'll tell you to celebrate freedom — while they strip it away.
They'll hand you a flag and hope you forget:
* Who's being silenced.
* Who's being punished for existing.
* Who's still fighting to be free.
But we remember.
We remember that real patriotism means standing up — not standing by.
This July 4th, we won't be quiet. We won't be polite. We'll be loud, visible, and unignorable.
Because freedom isn't a gift — it's a fight. And we're in it.
✊🏾 Join us. March with us. Make noise.
