Me:

The latest version of Typesetter, the minimalist Typst editor, brings a bunch of improvements for package and template usage, most notably:

- a GUI package manager for adding and removing custom packages and templates;
- a template selection popover in the header bar for creating new documents from built-in and user-installed templates;
- a small selection of built-in templates (more coming soon).

I see more and more links to #Bluesky in the social media footers on the websites of organisations, but I believe that, I you really care about what you are doing, you're on the #fediverse, of course.

I don't understand how it's another Friday again. What is this spaceship we're on?

Watch These Judges Rip Into Lawyers For Citing Cases That Don't Exist

“It's striking, concerning, disappointing, and saddening to think that members of the bar would forward cases to a court that don't exist, and to think that the lawyers on the other side of that didn’t read it for whatever reason, didn’t check it.”

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand. They have never been able to extinguish us or our joy. And they won't start now. Happy Pride, friends. Let's make this the loudest, proudest one yet. 🌈 ✨️
