Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on making it official: type-stripping in Node 25 is now declared to be stable 🎉
You can run: node index.ts
The capabilities have not changed since Node 24. This is purely a maturity indicator.

German Nazi party is trying to forbid school teachers from condemning Nazism, calling it "unacceptable political indoctrination". Which formally makes sense, as Nazis are an official party in the parliament, and schools need to stay neutral. Thats the sort of paradoxes you get if you tolerate Nazis.

Op Margraten zijn twee panelen over zwarte Amerikaanse bevrijders van Nederland opeens weg. ‘Past bij beleid van de regering-Trump’
Op de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten is het opeens stil geworden rond de zwarte Amerikanen die hielpen Nederland bevrijden. Twee panelen die hun bijdrage herdachten – én wezen op hun strijd tegen racisme binnen het leger – werden zonder toelichting verwijderd.

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
