[Wayback/Archive] Danielle Braun dr. on Twitter: “En en in plaats van of of.”
The image is by @thepresentpsychologist on Instagram (figured that out via Google Lens finding [Wayback/Archive] Psychological Safety Newsletter #39: Diversity and Ethical Behaviour | Psychological Safety), but and it took some effort to find the original post back as Instagram does not allow anonymous browsing.

Edit: I scheduled this post a long time ago, but it likely won’t work any more because of Space Karen demolsing Twitter. So for now, view this post as a how historically we had nice things on Twitter.
When writing this, the fork [Wayback/Archive] woluxwolu/twint works and the original [Wayback/Archive] twintproject/twint: An advanced Twitter scraping & OSINT tool written in Python that doesn’t use Twitter’s API, allowing you to scrape a user’s followers, following, Tweets and more while evading most API limitations. does not.

From 2008 to fall 2013, Twitter used the Fail Whale, a 2006 artwork by Yiying Lu originally titled “Lifting A Dreamer”, to indicate problems on their site.
Now that it is about a year after Musk burned some 44 milliard USD buying Twitter, it is also 10 years ago they phased out the Fail Whale, so it is a good time to remember it and a reminder to check out how Twitter faired during Elon’s ownership.
With Twitter down, you’d see the image from [Wayback/Archive] Yiying Lu 🐳 🥟🧋 on Twitter: “It has been 10 years since my art piece “Lifting a Dreamer” became the Twitter Fail Whale, a symbol as @Twitter’s service outrage during 2008-2013. It has inspired hundreds, probably thousands, of funny, clever & amusing homages and take-offs from users globally. Here are a few: …”:

When you use the WordPress classic editor (which for me still works far better than the Gutenberg one), avoid at all cost the use of the [Wayback/Archive] SyntaxHighlighter Code Block – Page 2 – WordPress.com Support.
Each time you switch between from Text View back to Visual, some characters are html-encoded, like:
& becomes &> becomes >Switching twice makes & into &>.
Switching three times makes & into &&&gt.
I already explained why to avoid the Gutenberg editor in Bookmarklet to force WordPress classic-editor.

As promised yesterday, I updated the scripts for Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs
Code (which broke at 20230914 because of WordPress.com changes: the undocumented
HighlanderCommentsstructure got removed; I will update the gist later on and post an updated blog post)
Instead of the undocumented HighlanderComments structure, I now use two (also undocumented) link rel elements.
In addition, I found this element that will be interesting in the future: <link rel='shortlink' href='https://wp.me/pvelJ-m8g' />.
You can view the change with the below archivals of the Wayback Machine and Archive.is.
And of course I learned a few things from these MDN entries:
<link>: The External Resource Link element – HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDNrel – HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDNThe 20230530 archivals (Wayback/Archive) of wiert.me/2022/02/14/philosophy-of-management have this HighlanderComments structure:

[Wayback/Archive] John Scott-Railton on X: “Where are the Quote Tweets? 1️⃣ Find & click the tiny dots 2️⃣ Navigate this cumbersome menu 3️⃣ Marvel at the deliberate enshittification of Twitter 4️⃣ Ponder whether this change is because someone didn’t enjoy getting ratioed.”
