   Funny, but I was talking about something quite similar just a few days ago.

   People aren't property. Or they shouldn't be. Under any circumstances.

   I know, in a kyriarchal, patriarchal, capitalist, money obsessed, wealth driven world, pretty much anyone who isn't near the top of the hierarchy is treated like some other people's or some other institution's property.

   It's a thing.

   It's a thing that's destroying us.

   Don't reproduce that social pattern.

   I'm looking for tools for cleaning up and reformatting #HTML, preferably within or callable from the #Python ecosystem.

   I'm not talking about sanitisation for security purposes; I already use NH3 for that. Rather, I want something that can perform tasks like converting manual line breaks to proper paragraph usage, removing empty nodes and superfluous styling, reliably stripping out certain tags while leaving their text content intact, that sort of thing.

   It specifically needs to work on markup fragments without requiring an entire document.

   No LLMs but machine learning is fine.

   Finally someone with some sense steps in to stop the atrocity that is restricting youth communication, a fundamental human right:

   "France's Constitutional Council has struck down a law that would have banned children under 15 from social media, ruling that it disproportionately restricted freedom of expression and lacked adequate privacy safeguards around age verification."

   And then this:

   "President Emmanuel Macron has asked the government to rewrite the measure, with the goal of putting a revised version in place before spring 2027. Reuters reports: "

   Yikes- it's scary how tyrannical minds work. On the plus side a non-retarded ~11 year old that isn't absurdly babied should be able to figure out means around this crap.

   Helicopter parenting is fucked up. It started in the early 90s... and somehow has gotten worse ever since.

   However I blame the progressives of the early 1900s and late 1890s for this. They pushed labor reforms that started the restrictions on minors working.

   I'm not against prohibiting IDK actual abuse and enslavement of young people. But, umm like employment is actually the one means of a young person freeing themselves from parents and government tyranny. At least with employment you can always try another path.

   If an employer is FORCING you to work for them they're NOT an employer, but a slave master and that's criminal regardless of a persons age.

   The drivers license should be done away with too. It's literally a scheme to imprison society at large. It didn't start as a "safety" thing.It was because of societal bigotry toward car owners. Basically they were 'uncool' and an elite wanted to keep them off the road or at least subjugated to second class citizenry. Until the late 1960s not all states even required testing.

   A new day. A new chance to succeed.

   Bread baking already this morning. It spent the night in the fridge so I could bake first thing.

   It's become something of a ritual with me now. Baking every few days grounds me in the world. Forces the ADHD to slow down. To be present in the moment.

   Not sure why I find it satisfying, this ancient skill. Working to perfect the crust and crumb.

   But it tastes great, if I do say so myself.

   May you find something good in your day #today

   This nigger acts like welfare has always been a thing.

   It is apparent to anyone with a brain that their complaining ushered in their welfare age.

   On top of being terminally useless douchebags, they're beyond ungrateful.
