Unrelated to the content of the article, but what a wonderful site text.npr.org is. It looks like a slightly enhanced version of my iPhone's reader mode and it displays instantly, scrolling with no lag, stuttering, or dynamic loading of page elements.

I wish more of the web were like this.

Like text.npr.org - there is also a CNN "lite" version too: https://lite.cnn.com/

I agree whole heartedly I wish more of the web were like this.

Bring back WML sites?

note: WML/WAL was a way to enable browsing a web-like thing on low powered devices.

For a bit of time, popular websites were available in two variants, wml and html (more info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Application_Protocol)

And no doom scrolling. There is a bottom of the page and no Next Page button.

I came across this years ago. It is pretty much the only news I will look at. They only update like 3 times a day too, so no incentive to keep coming back.

Man, find of the day. This is such an refined way of viewing the news (and then stopping and going outside).

The Germans knew to identify ex Stasi and their informants so they know who to beware of.

They really are turning into something like the Stasi:

And they're still being identified, decades later and still getting into trouble for it which I love.

Speaking of which, I feel like ICE's next move is to start arresting people for not turning in their friends, neighbors, and coworkers. We know they're planning for it at least.

The real importance of this is archival. Who knows what would have been burned and shredded to protect the masked brutes.

Dozens of the names, at least, correspond to J6 individuals.
