It seems we can now customize the select element, right? right?!

Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/pen/P... via @codepen.io

These dogs in charge of things need to understand that The Muppet Show and the Post Office are public services, not tawdry businesses.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Evergreen skeet, sadly

Keep this coming, I'm very much living vicariously through these photos

I feel like the reclamation status of that particular slur isn't evenly distributed. I'm a Very Urban Young Gay, and my friends and I use it with abandon and glee and affection... but with a new friend, I check in with a quick "Hey, what's your relationship to the f-slur" before I toss it around.

Oh, this is *glorious*

Also, of course, the State Department changing typefaces for reasons that boil down to "fuck accessibility" is both utterly in line with the overt bigotry of this administration and a signal indicator of how unserious these people are, it doesn't matter what typeface you use when you're a joke

Obsidian. I'm aware that it is potentially Extremely Powerful, but I mostly use it to just jot notes down every now and then.

Hahahahhaha that's absolutely delightful.

I had no idea he was gay, and popped over to his wikipedia article for the trusty Personal Life section. I truly, actually guffawed out loud when I read this sentence: "Altman met his future husband Oliver Mulherin "in Peter Thiel's hot tub at 3 a.m.""

My company gave me a new macbook today, with twice as much RAM, even though my last one was only a year old M4 mac with, frankly, plenty of memory. I'm taking this as a comforting sign that I am not at risk of losing my job anytime soon, if they have this kind of cash to burn...

we have to build thousands of small websites we love and enjoy in order to beat back the ~10 websites that have transformed this miracle of a communications layer into a compromised nightmare btw

Second that - I see a lot of tech folks talking about AI just like any other technology (with occasional hot takes, like any other technology).

Horrified to learn that we don't have dedicated engineers working on our design system at work anymore. Teams get to approve & merge in their own changes, updates, and additions, with, as far as I can tell, no oversight or governance. Coolcoolcool, this is fine.

A person in a yellow coat, hood pulled up, carrying a bright red bag, walks up a slight hill on a drizzly day. They are walking in front of a large brick wall with many, mismatching windows. The wall has a lot of large, layered graffiti tags on it. The street is wet, and a faint reflection of the person and the wall is visible on it. There are street car tracks, and the road has several cracks.

Really proud of this shot I took this weekend walking around on a drizzly day.

@jaketobin.bsky.social it's not perfect but hey!!!! Progress!!!

I am absolutely going to lose the charging dongle, though 😬

My favourite thing so far are the animations! They are ZIPPY and filled with personality.

My wrist, wearing a black e-ink watch, the Pebble 2 Duo, showing the time (12:26), the weather, and the date. A grey tabby cat, and a nintendo switch, are in the background.

I'm *thrilled*, my Pebble finally arrived! I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics, I have a watch from 2015. It's retro city over here. @ericmigi.com

"What should poor people be allowed to eat?" seems to be a burning question for those who aren't poor, have never been poor, and can afford to eat what they like, but want to keep poor people from eating anything that tastes really good. "No fresh meat," said Iowa, a few years ago.

This 1911 book shows that taking photos of cats and furnishing them with an amusing caption was a thing long before the internet... https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/kittens-and-cats-a-first-reader-1911-cats-and-captions-before-the-internet-age #InternationalCatDay
