President Trump:
"[New deadline for Russia] - 10 days from today. And then we're going to put on tariffs and stuff. I don't know if it's going to affect Russia because he [Putin] wants to, obviously, probably keep the war going. It may or may not affect them, but it could."

Hey #Monsterdon, if you'd like to suggest some squares for The Raven's bingo card, I could use your ideas 👇🏼
What are you hoping to see in a Vincent Price/Gothic Horror/Poe movie?
reshared this
Caveat (may or may not be a good thing): I'm not sure I've ever read the raven by Poe and if I have don't recall the details
nevermore is said by the raven
nevermore is said by a character other than the raven
someone gets into a discussion on crows vs. ravens (either on fedi or in the movie?)
the raven drops a feather
the raven poops on something obviously
raven claws someone's eyes out
too much black velvet (maybe dark red also counts?)
architecture that is clearly from the wrong period
a terrible (or awesome?) mustache in homage to Poe
references to a different well known Poe story

So, does this "goo.gl" problem actually mean all the goo.gl stuff, or is it just third-party URLs getting cut? Gmaps is still creating maps.app.goo.gl links.

(For the record I think URL shorteners are very dumb and very bad, but regardless here we are so.)
Update: @denschub points out that Google Apps are getting a pass: mastodon.schub.social/@denschu…
Y'all still have this on your calendars, right?!“Any developers using links built with the Google URL Shortener in the form goo.gl/* will be impacted, and these URLs will no longer return a response after August 25th, 2025. We recommend transitioning these links to another URL shortener provider.”

Edit to add quotation marks and say URL shortening sucks for more than one reason
Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available
Understand how you will be impacted by our decision to turn off the serving portion of Google URL Shortener.Sumit Chandel (goo.gl)
I suspect it might be simpler still. Have you looked at alerts.google.com or code.google.com recently? They just... put up placeholders and forgot about them.
Maybe it's nothing more complicated than, nobody's getting promoted for this, nobody gets promoted for maintenance anything so nobody cares.
