Spending waaaaay more time on Pokemon Pokopia than I anticipated.
Few bug fixes this morning, and a stress test of the API against 500 URLs. More checks should return results now: amtpg.run
In 2022, I released a little project called "Are my third parties green?" so people can check the sustainability of third parties on the web. Nearly 5000 web page checks later it's time for an update!
It's still in beta, but you can give it a look over at amtpg.run (amtpg.run)

'The Wei piece beautifully illustrates a key function of the undefined concept of red lines: they remove agency from Beijing, and place it only on Beijingβs victims.' The Wei piece was an article by Wei Lingling ιη²ι in the WSJ about the ongoing PRC-Japan spat.

- Kiyosumi-shirakawa (nice area to wander - parks, museums, boutique cafes)
Little Nap is an awesome place for beverage!!~
I hope Grant Atkins get the GF
