A person standing on the edge of a rocky point, staring off into the void. They are facing left. Above them is a light purple sky covered with stripes of fluorescent green clouds. Despite the relatively light color scheme, the scene is at night. Greenish fog hangs around the ground. A hazy half-moon sits in the top right. A scattering of stars is visible. Streaming from the person's face is a beam of blazing white light, like that from a lighthouse. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Whatever you think this image is, you're probably wrong.
A white background on which four objects are displayed. Each object has a black flared base at the bottom, surmounted by a white shaft, much longer and thinner. The apex of the shaft is crowned by an acorn shape, a rounded ridge at the bottom and a slightly pointed top thrusting upward into the air. I can assure you that while it might look suspiciously like four objects which might have been designed solely for the purpose of inserting something into a wet place... Well... That's all the hint you'll get from me.

So then if I post just the bare hostname, although client apps may change that into a link, the filter sees what was originally entered? And a filter including the https part would then let that domain name pass but catch all the shared links?

Yeah, for example a filter for "google.com" with whole word un-ticked would filter posts with google.com URLs in them.

You don't even have to write the whole domain, a partial match is enough, but this may also filter other domains by accident.

Or you could filter for a specific URL including https etc.

@propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy with an explosive scoop. This is insanity.
ProPublica just obtained a remarkable directive to those remaining at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then ... "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break." The email came from from the agency's acting executive secretary. I asked Kel McClanahan, a national security attorney, if this was legal. He said: "No it is not," citing the Federal Records Act. "Classified records are still federal records."

Tried building a shelf. Not sure I did it right.
Two little vertical wooden posts are standing on a work table. They are joined by three horizontal wood slats. The top and bottom slats run through the posts from front to back, first the left post then the right one. The middle one runs through the posts from front to back, first the right post and then the left one. This is physically impossible, in the style of an M.C. Escher art piece. But this is a photograph, so it's mysterious how it was done.
