Little boxes on the hillside
Where there used to live a family
Little boxes now a museum
That you can tour with AirBNB

And the people went to school
And then to the university,
Where they all got into debt
And couldn't afford a little box

Little boxes on the hillside
That were bought by an investment firm
Little boxes, little boxes
Sitting vacantly there

(The 2023 version of the Little Boxes song)

"Leander Perez, who defended the military service ban, served as district attorney, judge, and political boss in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, during the civil rights era. A devout Catholic, he took a segregationist position so extreme that the Archbishop of the Diocese of New Orleans excommunicated him from the church. An active member of his local white citizens' council, Mr. Perez gave public speeches... encouraging politicians to commit criminal contempt in defiance of desegregation orders."

A long time ago, I remember playing with a web page that had tiny programs written in FORTH that worked similarly to shadertoy, in the sense that it was possible to make art with it.

I can't for the life of me remember the name!

Does anybody out there remember that thing? (Boost for reach?)

“The plaintiffs are Republican and unaffiliated voters who argue that Mr. Trump is ineligible and that they will be harmed if he appears on primary ballots… Similar efforts are unfolding in other states. Last month, the liberal group Free Speech for People wrote to the secretaries of state of Florida, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio and Wisconsin, urging them not to include Mr. Trump on ballots. And an obscure presidential candidate, John Anthony Castro, a Republican, has sued in New Hampshire.”
