"In the 14 states that implemented total abortion bans following the Dobbs decision, we estimated that 519 981 completed rapes were associated with 64 565 pregnancies during the 4 to 18 months that bans were in effect (Table 2). Of these, an estimated 5586 rape-related pregnancies (9%) occurred in states with rape exceptions, and 58 979 (91%) in states with no exception, with 26 313 (45%) in Texas." #abortion #ReligiousExtremism #ChristianExtremism #fascism #patriarchy https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2814274?guestAccessKey=e429b9a8-72ac-42ed-8dbc-599b0f509890

Wrote up my experience using #WebComponents in Earnest:

This is a long read about the app I built for making a palette: https://ghola.dev
Here's a sample palette: https://ghola.dev/?primaryColor=%233a88fe&otherColors=complement%2Ctriad-lower%2Ctriad-upper%2C%23929292&compact=true
The blog post outlines the custom elements I created, how they were designed with demos. There is a code walkthrough of a few interesting bits as well as how I tested them + notes on my failed first attempt at making React-style Web Components (i.e. that render themselves).

"This is the first official reissue of "Conspiracy" since its limited release in 1975, it was her first record under her own name as a solo artist. It is a true lost gem, with a unique and beautiful sound. Musician Elaine Mitchener describes "Conspiracy" as "one of greatest free-form albums of the1970s".

Results are out for the guaranteed basic income pilot in Austin where 135 people got $1,000/mo for a year.
9% of people reported working less and 7% reported working more. Of those who worked less, half upskilled for better future jobs, and half chose unpaid care work.
Housing security significantly increased, as did food security. People lived in better housing and ate more balanced meals.
People also felt significantly more connected to the people and places in their neighborhoods.

I know both early Apples and Macs have been highly influential products, and I don't mean to put a damper on celebrations. Then again, when it comes to Apple, I'm much more an admirer of Wozniak than Jobs, which is putting it mildly.

I never had a Mac or Apple back in the day. Wildly too expensive. I got by with hand-me-down or flea market C64 stuff, followed by flea market and aftermarket PC stuff, which still made me unbelievably wealthy as compared to most of the world. (My dad was a ham, so my dad knew many people with old computers.)
I continue the flea market mentality by buying refurbished computers and running 10yo rigs (like the one I'm typing this on) at home. So I guess it sticks with you.

Since web components are popular (finally), I'd just like to mention Bruck ( https://github.com/Heydon/bruck ). It's a prototyping framework made with pure web components (no dependencies). It's actually the predecessor to https://every-layout.dev in some ways, since many layout-related components first appeared there.

Resistance is not futile. This is fascism and has to be stopped.
