Did you know #XPath 3 (2016) is a Turing-complete functional and declarative language? As are #XSLT 3 (which uses XPath and #XQuery which extends it). And #XProc 3 is a data flow language that also uses XPath.
These are widely used, powerful, efficient, and super pointy.

What libre (free) software do you most often use alongside #GIMP ?
Yeah, the earlier thing circulating had not been signed, but, alas, this has. The good news is that i don't think it will fly, it will be challenged, and it's too vague to make a difference. The bad is what it legitimizes, which is where “Declaration of War’ comes in, alas.
Is that really the CEO of TikTok sitting next to the next Director of National Intelligence — Tulsi Gabbard — at President Trump’s inauguration?
Evidently, yes.

When people started the Art vs. Artist meme, I didn't think I had any work worth using. I often dislike my work for whatever reason at the time, HOWEVER, I have in recent years begun to appreciate a handful of pieces.
You can see 13 of my favourite pieces on my website.

Slowly updating www.fromoldbooks.org/books-for-sa... books for sale page.
Some of these i bought decades ago to study the layout and typography (e.g. the Four Gospels fac simile). I’m not a bookseller!

Social media post reading "I'm sorry but there's certain things kids shouldn't see at pride. When impressionable l g b t q kids see gay bankers and cops flaunting their lifestyles at the parade, they get the wrong idea that queer liberation is possible within capitalism"
