USAJusticeWatch‘The #Cuban government this week refused a request by the #US Embassy in Havana to import diesel fuel for its generators, calling the ask “shameless,” given the Trump administration’s fuel #blockade on the island, according to diplomatic cables reviewed by The Washington Post. The denial could force the embassy to order nonessential staff to leave Cuba in May or “possibly earlier,” the embassy warned Wednesday in a cable to the State Department…”.’ | Washington Post https://archive.is/N81ly

dmi 💽 judging online information quality based on site where it appeared: a comprehensive guide
- "How To (...)" in the title, cookie banners, lots of side-information written in a way that wastes your time: SEO slop, don't bother. You might as well make a wild guess, same likelyhood it'll be correct
- official docs for $x, autogenerated by a rube-goldberg machine and automagically pushed into whatever-pages by a fully-skidoodled, post-quantum CI pipeline: describes everything, except the exact fact you're looking for.
- no HTTPS, tilde in the name, DNS with 4+ dots, likely hosted on some dusty uni server, white background with absolutely no CSS: one of the best resources on the subject. you question how it's even still online
- site titled "Garry's blog", default wordpress favicon, last update either previous month or 12 years ago: golden. crystal-clear exposition, good examples and screenshots framed so well you don't even need arrows pointing places. likely used as a cheat-sheet daily by everyone in the community

James M Branum - יעקב מתתיהו ☮https://jmb.mx/blog/2026/03/02/looking-for-james-mast/
I’m making this post because I don’t what else to do.
I’m looking for James Mast, a son of Moses Mast (my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away). If you are James or you know how to get in touch with him, please contact me (jmb.mx/contact) , as I want to make sure James can attend the memorial service (even if it has to be remote) but also for some other important issues.
FYI, James was last known to be in Cornwall, Ontario (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sixties-scoop-immigration-1.7541323 ) , but I haven’t had any luck tracking him down.

Neil BrownMy washing machine doesn’t need Wi-Fi.
It's a feature that I would regret.
I just need a way to wash my pants.
Not show them to the Internet.
My oven doesn't need Wi-Fi.
I'd value that least of all.
It's already shielded from getting too hot.
It doesn't need another firewall.
My fridge does not need Wi-Fi.
That is just not useful for me.
I want a place to chill my food.
Not chat via TCP/IP.
