I make computers do things they don't want to. It's harder with people. I once wrote a blog at nemzes.net. Teal is not a real color. Some flags, because why not: 🇺🇳 🇪🇺 🇵🇹 🇬🇧 🇳🇴 🏴‍☠️ 🏳️‍🌈

Hey @sarahedo.bsky.social; sorry to tag you directly. I got a (maybe not great) PR for your fantastic Career Ladders site, but the Netlify build checks break. I believe the builder is using an outdated npm, but I have no way to check. "It works for me" locally.

De facto, a educação está a falhar… Problemas com matrículas? É a imigração. Os combustíveis aumentam? Por causa da imigração. Buracos nas estradas? Pois claro, a imigração. Incêndios? Imigração. Corrupção, taxas de juro, atrasos no Metro? Já se sabe.

🇬🇭 Ghana's larger-than-life coffins tell the stories of the dead A giant fish, shoe or bottle of Fanta probably won’t appear on many undertakers’ coffin catalogues. But in Ghana, particularly in Ga communities, these are just a few of the creations set to breathe life into any funeral.

It’s astonishing to see this, even though we saw it coming months ago. White = 10°F + above normal in the El Niño regions. Its immense! In the air, a regional warming of 10° is no big deal. But in the ocean it’s immense! Think about how hard it is/ how long it takes to cool/ heat your pool. 1/

This is a real photo from 1913. It hasn’t been colorized. It was made using a technique called the Autochrome Lumière which captured true color using microscopic dyed starch grains as color filters, decades before color film existed. Pretty incredible, no? More below 👇
