So here's my WASM X-language component idea:
You have a WASM module that exports a list of public properties and render() function that accepts data and returns a lit-html TemplateResult-like thing. You tie that into LitElement to render.
Then you can SSR that component in any server language!

What is the Liberal CPAC? Reactionaries from the US, UK, Hungary, etc get together seemingly constantly to plot and scheme and get each other hyped up...do liberals have a non-mythical structure for doing that?

I'm getting WASM-pilled these days.
I really think it's a great fundamental building block for a lot of solutions to a lot of difficult computation/security problems out there.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

"The great benefit of computer sequencers is that they remove the issue of skill, and replace it with the issue of judgement.

To me, the most interesting use for AI-generated code right now is *not* where you give up libraries for single-use, 1st party code; but new shared systems that are good for humanity to build, but were economically infeasible before.
LLMs let us build those "If I won the lottery" projects now.

If you're writing code for WASM + WASI, how much would you like to be able to import WIT files directly into your code?
like:
import {Greeter} from './greeter.wit';
and have your compiler understand that natively. No codegen. 🤔

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)

Seems like a great thing to support in Markdown-based CMSes and static site generators.
Maybe @11ty.dev could have a mode to output the source markdown next to the output HTML and instructions on how to serve the .md files?

This is a really nice new Cloudflare feature: on-the-fly markdown conversion. Tools like Claude Code send an "Accept: text/markdown" header when making web requests. If you enable this it, it will send these agents a markdown version of your page instead of the full HTML. Really good for docs.
Introducing Markdown for Agents
Cloudflare's network supports real-time content conversion to markdown at the source.

The real problem with Hillary's "deplorables" assessment was that "deplorable" isn't nearly a harsh enough descriptor for these people!
Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.
