My frontend villain origin story was when I started asking people why we needed this complexity. People agreed it was complex. But when I asked people to tell me what we bought for ourselves, the answers were vague and unclear. That’s when I knew we had gone astray.

amusing:
“an hour into his speech, the Atlanta crowd had emptied out more than usual. (Like Madonna, he often keeps his crowds waiting for an hour or more past the scheduled start time, which doesn’t help the situation.) Large splotches of blue had blossomed across the upper stands, and people on the floor had started to sneak away, too.
Mr. Trump’s most faithful followers were also feeling defensive about the dueling rally discourse on Saturday.”

I’ve heard that several times before. There are two types of Star Trek fans:
1. Those who appreciate its vision of a progressive future where humanity overcomes racism, sexism, and other social issues.
2. Those who enjoy the military and naval aspects of Starfleet in the series.It still baffles me how some fans can overlook the other aspects while watching the show.
I guess some of them also think that Trump is Luke Skywalker and not the Emperor.

J.D. Vance says that people who don't have children have no stake in the future.
Yet he's a Catholic: a religion headed by *checks notes* a childless Pope, and run by *checks notes again* thousands of childless priests. (Well, supposedly.)
And wait, news has just come in that Jesus, the man whose teachings Catholics claim to follow, was yet another man who (according to their own orthodoxy) had no children.
Childless people have no stake in the future.
Shouldn't he convert, or something?

An area roughly the size of New Jersey has become a “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico, providing little to no oxygen for fish and other marine life, NOAA says. The dead zone is a yearly occurrence in the Gulf, but this year is much bigger than usual, covering four million acres, the 12th largest one the agency has recorded over 38 years.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s and Brad Raffensperger’s #Voter Registrations Targeted in Georgia’s New Online Portal
==Days after #Georgia #Democrats warned that the state’s new online portal for canceling voter registrations could be abused, officials have confirmed misuse attempts — including efforts to cancel the registrations of prominent #Republicans.

“To start the cancellation process on the portal, all users need is a voter’s name, date of birth and county of residence. To finalize the cancellation request, they also must provide the last four digits of the voter’s Social Security number or their full driver’s license number.”

Yes, it's offensive that these folks take no responsibility. Yes, it's demoralizing that so many people are willing to go along with it. But that doesn't mean we have to accept that they "won". The future is all to play for, and we can start by pointing and laughing. They deserve ridicule, not just scorn.

Working on this next post has finally crystalized something for me: the excuses that advocates of SPAs (and the frameworks they justify) make are functionally identical to the C/C++ apologist's approach to memory safety.
In both cases, no amount of long-documented failure seems to move them, and so we must move ourselves away from them.
SPA architectures and tools must simply be banned for most kind of work, *PARTICULARLY* in the public sector.
