I'm pleased to announce that I managed to get the draft Common Lisp Specification translated from TeX to an s-expression based document format. I started this project in 2015 and finally finished it this year (maybe a bit late for it to be relevant).
The HTML proof-of-concept is at metaspec.dev/ and is probably the most complete rendering of the spec to date. It contains the acknowledgements, the appendix, errata, and preserves editorial TeX comments in the margins. It uses a patching system against sdoc to make auditable corrections and MathML to render the TeX mathy bits.
The code that generates it, and a copy of the metaspec.sdoc file can be found at codeberg.org/dlowe/metaspectre
Tectonic: A modernized, complete, self-contained TeX/LaTeX engine
Many #LaTeX users are familiar with Detextify to hunt down obscure symbols but I never liked its excessive and intrusive ads, and it recently has stopped working. It has just been redesigned and is now ad-free and works a lot better.
Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson Announces Resignation Amid Debate Over Closed Primaries
📰 Original title: 'Unsettling': Ominous warning as Texas elections chief's sudden exit sets off MAGA frenzy

Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson announced that she will resign from her position effective July 17, ending a tenure of nearly four years overseeing the state's election administration. In her resignation statement, Nelson said it had been an honor to serve Texans and highlighted accomplishments achieved by the agency during her time in office. The announcement immediately drew strong reactions from conservative activists and commentators in Texas. Nelson has been a prominent opponent of efforts within the Texas Republican Party to implement closed primary elections, a system that would limit participation in party primaries based on voter affiliation. Supporters of the proposal argue that it would prevent voters from other parties from influencing Republican primary outcomes, while critics view the change as unnecessary and potentially restrictive. Several conservative media figures and influencers welcomed Nelson's departure, arguing that her opposition to closed primaries put her at odds with party priorities. Some commentators suggested that her resignation could accelerate Republican efforts to change Texas election rules. At the same time, other observers expressed concern about what might follow. Critics of the Texas GOP's direction argued that increasing political polarization could affect future election administration and voting policies in the state. One Democratic state house candidate warned that significant changes related to election integrity and governance may be on the horizon. The article focuses primarily on the political implications of Nelson's resignation and the contrasting reactions it generated among conservatives and opponents of proposed election reforms in Texas.
Demographic shifts and voter trends make Texas Senate race more competitive for Republicans
📰 Original title: Republicans grow 'uncomfortable' as GOP stronghold looks flippable due to 'scrambled math'

Republicans are increasingly concerned about the political future of Texas as demographic and electoral changes make the traditionally conservative state appear more competitive in upcoming Senate elections. According to reporting cited by Axios and referenced in the article, a combination of population growth, shifting voter behavior, and changing demographics has “scrambled the political math” in a state that has long been a Republican stronghold. Texas has seen more than 2.5 million new residents since 2020, many of whom are described by political scientists as either economic migrants or political “refugees” from other states. Experts argue that these newcomers are less tied to Texas’ traditional political alignment, potentially giving Democrats new opportunities in statewide races. Another key factor is the evolving voting behavior of Hispanic Texans, now the largest demographic group in the state. While Hispanic voters helped contribute to Republican gains in previous elections, recent polling suggests declining support for Donald Trump among this group compared to 2024 levels. Exit polls previously showed Trump winning about 55% of Hispanic voters in Texas, but more recent data indicates significantly higher disapproval ratings, raising concerns within the GOP about maintaining that support in future elections. The article also highlights vulnerabilities on both sides of the upcoming Senate race. Republican nominee Ken Paxton, who defeated incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the primary, faces scrutiny due to longstanding legal and ethical controversies. Meanwhile, Democratic nominee James Talarico is described as having progressive positions that could be challenging in a still-conservative state. Despite these dynamics, analysts emphasize that Texas is not suddenly becoming a Democratic state, but rather one that is becoming larger, more diverse, and less predictable—factors that could make the Senate race unusually competitive.
