htmx 2.0.8 released

This sort of flew right by me, but I’m very excited about this release of htmx because it adds support for parsing Declarative Shadow DOM. Now you can server-render web components & layouts in their full glory and use them in your pages and fragments! 🥳

The predictions he wrote last year are depressing to read today

Do you reckon the Republicans understand that this shutdown is the general strike they thought could never happen? Sure seems like they underestimated our solidarity.

🧠 Full-Stack Science — from raw data to the final PDF

While preparing the new version of my monograph, I realized something funny:
if I listed all the software I used, the “Used software” section would look more like a Linux manual than a scientific appendix.

Because, honestly — everything mattered.
From grep, awk, and apt, to PHREEQC, R, QGIS, and finally LaTeX.

Every single stage — data cleaning, modeling, visualization, mapping, typesetting — I did entirely on my own.
No outsourcing. No “sending for refinement.”
Just a full-stack, open-source workflow — from the first script to the final monograph PDF.

We are at most a few years away from the mainstream media becoming controlled top to bottom, with a few very exceptions, by ultrarich conservatives and their hirelings.

CBS News is gone;
CNN seems about to follow.
The Los Angeles Times installed an AI-powered “bias meter” to warn readers against taking some of what they read in the paper’s columns at face value.
And all across the country, local news is on a ventilator;
the right-wing Sinclair network is taking over everywhere,
and the Trump Federal Communications Commission is lending a hand.

Watson and Crick used unpublished x-ray data from Rosalind Franklin and never gave her credit for it. They both were absolute noobs in x-ray structure analysis (I discovered this myself for some time, it IS hard).

Franklin was world-renowned for the quality of her x-rays. One of her coworkers who didn't like her stole the newest data and handed it over to Watson and Crick.

Using other scientists unpublished data without their consent is one of the worst things in science.

Later in his life, Watson said some incredibly stupid and racist things I won't repeat here. He did so several times. It was severe enough for Cold Spring Harbor National Laboratory to dismiss him from all duties and cut all ties with him.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether Vladeck is correct about why Jackson did what she did tonight, nor does it matter if I am correct that her action did some harm and not any significant good. What matters is that the Roberts Supreme Court is very very unlikely to ever order the Trump regime to pay out full SNAP benefits for November. And if the government shutdown drags into December, the Trump regime will not release discretionary funds to pay for any SNAP benefits. 1/

@fromjason people REALLLLLY don't get this, and I don't get it. It's about the power, it's about the misery, it's about being as high above the rest of us as possible. They already have more money than they know what to do with, literally. The money doesn't really matter to them. The power does.

"Billionaires spent just as much trying to defeat #Mamdani than if they just paid their taxes"

Yeah because it's not just about the money. It's about the misery. Misery makes for obedient workers. Can't have people walking around with pocket change because the bus is free, and a clear head because their kids are well taken care of. Who's working an extra twenty hours a week in those conditions?

#Capitalism is built on capital but it thrives on misery.
