Calling all web developers! Browsers are all meeting up next week (www.w3.org/events/tpac/...). I want your voice to be heard! Tell me your biggest problems, and tell me what you want to see from the platform. What problems are tough to solve, but could be easier?

There is an election today in the Washtenaw Intermediate School District. I think you should vote Yes on the Career Technical Education Millage: www.damnarbor.com/2025/11/elec... #a2Council #YpsiCouncil

Exclusive: a Michigan Campaign Finance Act complaint has been filed against Ann Arbor's Library Green Conservancy. The complaint alleges LGC's advocacy against Props A & B violates state law limiting how 501(c)(3)s can engage in politics. Read more here: www.damnarbor.com/2025/07/excl... #a2Council

Did my second Spartan Race last weekend, my first in the age group category. Won the bronze! Had a ton of fun; love training for these with my kids.

DevTools 🤝 MCP - Or as @tej.as named it when I was pitching this over at @jsnation.gitnation.org in our chats....'Self healing mode'. Quick tease of something I've been hacking over the weekend as I prepare for I/O connect and just before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP_e...

Once again, Congresswoman Tlaib is a real one. And um. @debbiedingell.house.gov ? Could you just not (support manufactured war on Iran ffs)? And say that publicly? Seems like not too much to ask. Thanks in advance, I hope, but get on this.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Washtenaw folks: Milan has a few Flock license plate reading cameras installed, and Ypsilanti Township had considered installing hundreds of them with the support of the previous Sheriff. www.404media.co/ice-taps-int...

Picked this book up on a whim at Vault of Midnight, and had so much fun with my 11-year-old making our first batch of dumplings together. I wish more kids cookbooks were written like graphic novels!

Is the WebDev Arena truly measuring webdev coding ability? This ML coding benchmark *requires* React/Tailwind and completely breaks with vanilla JS/other frameworks. The second-order implications of models competing on this narrow definition of frontend web development are rather troublesome.

This a phenomenal article about improving INP on a real react app. 👏 A fantastic step-by-step account of all the things they did to slowly but surely inch it forward. And not shying away from showing the things that didn't work! Read it! medium.com/preply-engin...

WIRED has new info on the specific DOGE operatives at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the ways they’re trying to infiltrate and change the agency—including trying to use an AI tool to write code for the agency’s systems.

best reporting unsurprisingly from the @michigandaily.bsky.social www.michigandaily.com/news/news-br...

“Eight times as many students said the climate had gotten better as said it had worsened since the original [DEI]plan launched. The impact on representation has been real, too: between 2016 to 2024, the number of Pell Grant recipients grew by 33%.” @scottlgreer.bsky.social @epopppp.bsky.social

I grew up poor. Not family of 6 living in a plywood box poor. And not 10 cars in the driveway because there are 5 families living in this house. Those were my neighbors. But for a couple years, I was living in an airstream with no indoor plumbing poor. And now I’ve worked at 3 FAANG. How?

GOOD MORNING!! 4/5/2025 🚨 This grassroots movement is powered by hardworking people with jobs, families, and big hearts. They made this happen because they care about WE THE PEOPLE‼️ Show up, stand strong, keep it peaceful. ✌️ DO NOT ENGAGE with counter protests. SEE YOU IN LANSING!!

I'm excited about this program! Chromium isn't necessarily easy, but I know there are great engineers out there who would love to get paid for improving it!

👋🏾 Hey underrepresented folks in tech! Do you have a blog, podcast, course or youtube channel that folks in tech should know about? Please share it. I'm looking for content to share in @diversifytech.com's newsletter. Thank you!

⚠️ So, I'm just going to say it: US conference organizers extending speaking opportunities to persons who need to cross the border need to think this through. There's a lot involved now, and it's not all good. This has been on my mind for the last week as I see / hear about bad situations: 🧵⬇️

I've been following @webx.bsky.social's work on PerfAgent since the beginning, and it's so cool! If you're at all interested in web performance, please check out his thread below!

Week 4 of the #teslatakedown in Palo Alto. This was the hugest protest by far, and we even noticed the showroom over at the Stanford Shopping center had one too. @teslatakedown.com protests are easy, fun, and a great way to take a stand. Fun signs help, but what we really need is your voice!

Wowzers! Hard to appreciate in the still photos. This video shows a bit better how big our crowd was at #Teslatakedown in Grand Rapids, Michigan. #nobodyelectedelon #globaldayofaction @teslatakedown.com @fightforthefuture.org

Folks, if you witness or hear of people paying for voting, capturing evidence makes all the difference. If you see it, take still photos instantly–of people and vehicles. Then quietly(!) video. Sidle up for audio. If you get it, LEAVE! Make exact copy w/metadata on a diff. device. Don't touch OG.

Hundreds of people showed up for the #TeslaTakedown global day of action in Ann Arbor!

Tired of what's happening? Want to help stop it? Elon Musk is at the center of Trump's agenda of ripping apart our social safety net. He sneers at laws & tries to buy elections. Help us stop him this Saturday! You don't even need a sign; bring your voice. #teslatakedown

Enough of the bad news. Ann Arbor, I'm focused on tomorrow. A day where each person has access to education, community, and opportunity - regardless of any political moment. This true American Dream is made possible at the library.

Happening at 6pm! 🔗 buff.ly/lZ44aUy

Free Rumeysa rally in Somerville, MA. Huge crowd appeared with less than 24 hrs. notice. This issue goes to the heart of the community. Somerville: ⦿ more than 50 languages spoken in public schools ⦿ more artists per capita than any U.S. city except NYC @joekatz45.bsky.social live posting!

Rally in support of Remesya Ozturk at Powder House Park in Somerville. Massachusetts is *pissed*, yo.
