For @thenation.com and @typeinvestigations.org, I looked into American Landmark, a major landlord filing evictions far more than the national average.
I found they are owned by an Israeli company with ties to the IDF, including during the Gaza genocide. (1/10)

Yesterday at TPAC I publicized my draft proposal for adding a declarative templating API to the DOM.
github.com/justinfagnan...
The repo has:
📖 Explainers for the templating API and DOM scheduler API
🏗️ Full prototype implementations
⚗️ a JSX transform
⚛️ a mini React-like framework

What if you could just… await in your component?
![export const listContacts = query(
(query?: string) =>
client
.contact
.list
.fetch<ContactRecord[]>({ search: { q: query ?? "" } }),
api.contact.list,
);
export async function* Sidebar(this: UI.Handle) {
const router = this.context.get(Router);
this.on(router, { change: () => this.update() });
let query = router.location.searchParams.get("q");
let contacts!: ContactRecord[];
for (const {} of this) {
const previous = query;
query = router.location.searchParams.get("q");
if (query !== previous || !contacts) {
contacts = await listContacts(query);
}
yield (
<nav>
{contacts.length ? (
<ul>
{contacts.map(contact => (
<SidebarItem contact={contact} key={contact.id} />
))}
</ul>
) : (
<p>
<i>No contacts</i>
</p>
)}
</nav>
);

I’ll believe it when I see it
A draft of the first-of-its-kind Texas Department of Transportation plan released in October outlines the need for boosted public transportation in rural and smaller urban areas as well as a greater array of travel options, including rail, between the state’s major urban centers.
TxDOT: Car-dominant Texas needs more public transit
As the state’s population grows, more travel options are needed in rural and smaller urban areas and between major cities, according to a draft of the first-of-its-kind plan.
