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.

Temporary Restraining Order against two of Voldemort’s anti-trans executive orders granted - thank you, PFLAG especially!
Came for the excellent constitutional law exposition, stayed for “The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist.” Go Judge Hurson!

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

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!
