In one week

— a journalist has been shot with a rubber bullet while reporting in LA

— Trump has called for the arrest of governor Gavin Newsome

— US Senator Padilla has been handcuffed for asking a question of Kristi Noem

— Tanks are rolling in the streets of Washington DC

— And a murderer has attacked the homes of two Democratic politicians in Minnesota, killing two people and wounding several others.

I recall Trump claiming America under Biden was "going to hell"…

Where is it going now?

I wasn't happy with 8 different themes on my website, so there's now a 9th one, which lets you customise the main settings. It's driven by about a dozen custom properties (I love theming in CSS holy heck…I should write about it). It was a good… distraction, to build this.

Anyway, maybe you want some "Matrix" or bubble gum style instead of my painstakingly and lovingly crafted themes? That's fine, express yourself everywhere! Even on my personal website!

My personal website with a popup named "Theme Customisation" listing a bunch of options of colour and fonts.A customised version of my site which is dark blue with bright green text, using a monospace font throughout. It's not the Matrix, but as close as you can get.A customised version of my site which is uses a light pink background and saturated pink as a text colour. It uses Comic Sans for headings, making it feel like a bubble gum universe of sorts.

Lukewarm take:

We need to get much better about distinguishing between violence and property damage, and even moreso about distinguishing between either of those and economic disruption. And we need to get food at rejecting any narrative that frames one as the other

Thinking about code size reminded me of being a kid in the 90s and reading through code like github.com/legacy-codedigger/a for the first time while trying to understand all the little tricks and nuances. There are probably even better examples but the apack/aplib depacker is tight.
