I don't think this is experimental. It should be working fine right now.

The only thing 'experimental' is that no browser has implemented the feature yet - it's only available in Chrome Canary behind a flag.

You could do this on a Mac relatively easily with Automator.

Windows has AutoHotKey which I have no idea about, but might do what you want.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The idea that journalists, politicians, groups or - you know, women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people - should "stay on the pitch" doesn't really hold up.

Foreign Minister's account has 60k followers - 40 likes, 13k views?

Blue ticks straight to the top of the queue with misogyny, bile.

I got my first iphone about 6 weeks ago. Maybe I'm just too used to Android but I've been so frustrated with it. I find it's great hardware but crap software and I've had to install Gmail, Google maps, Google calendar, Dropbox, etc to use it, so it's set up is bite basically same as my Android was

I have a feeling not so many people are going to use the display: grid-lanes property.

It seems one of those things everyone wants until they have it and then realises it was just a nice-to-have.

Write a two word prompt on a notepad that you keep beside you.

Then when finished the 60 second task, check the prompt.

A white banner reading "Support the hunger strikers" in red capital letters.

A white banner reading "Support the hunger strikers" in red capital letters.

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine.

They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care.

Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression.
We know colonialism.
