A challenge we often hear from new Unison devs is around reading function signatures. Our syntax is common to ml-style languages (Haskell, Elm), but it can look intimidating when new to those langs. In this 🧡 I break down the syntax. First up, a function that is used to create an html div. 1/7

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

I have said it before but it is worth repeating: arrogance is what got us here. The arrogance to believe that our institutions and constitution would prevent a dictator.

American arrogance is still unparalleled and the leading cause of our increasingly failed state.

MAHA Is a Fraud America has never been healthier. Going backwards is going to mean more people getting sick and dying.

β€œLess medical research, a pull-back on life-saving vaccines, turning away from science and embracing folk medicine.

Make America Healthy Again.

Again.

Meaning: America used to be β€˜healthy’ and now is not.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels.

PANEL 1

CAPTION: The year 2000

A young, beardless Barry is standing behind a table in a public walkway, talking to a passerby. A large sign on the table says "NADER."

Behind Barry, an older, bearded Barry is appearing out of some sort of dimensional portal, a panicked expression on his face.

YOUNG BARRY: Nader is our only choice that isn't a vote for evil!

OLDER BARRY: Barry, stop!

PANEL 2

Barry, bewildered, talks to older Barry, who is still panicked.

YOUNG BARRY: Who are you?

OLDER BARRY: I'm you! I'm barry from 2008. I'm using a time machine to stop you from making an awful mistake!

PANEL 3

Older Barry waves his arms as he talks.

OLDER BARRY: George W Bush is much worse than you think he'll be! There was terrorist attack, and we invaded Iraq, and it's all awful!

PANEL 4

As Older Barry talks to Young Barry, an Even Older Barry, with a gray beard, emerges from a dimensional portal and taps Older Barry on the shoulder.

OLDER BARRY: I literally can't imagine a worse Pres-

EVEN OLDER BARRY: Excuse me, I'm Barry from 2025.

Immigration agents arrested a U.S. citizen and created warrants after an arrest, lawyers say in court Chicago attorneys were in federal court Thursday accusing federal agents of violating immigration law and the constitutional rights of at least 22 people since January.

In Chicago, a U.S. citizen was arrested, handcuffed, and spent most of the night at an ICE processing center.

After buying pizza, he says, ICE agents "handcuffed me and pushed me into a white van where other people were handcuffed as well.”

Other people arrested are still detained.
