I've really struggled with the new colours stuff in CSS but editing this series for Kevin has instilled a confidence I never thought I'd had. I'm even more convinced that designers need to be getting into CSS as a serious tool.

✨ I just published a new post, and it’s all about one of the most mind-blowing new CSS features: subgrid. Honestly, when I first heard about subgrid, I figured it’d be a convenient little utility. I had no idea it would solve one of the most longstanding issues I’ve had with CSS. 😮 Check it out:

I gave that goob from Slate a raft of shit and it went viral way back when, but Bluesky *is* kind of a bummer these days. We DO need a little levity and joy now and then, versus the constant kvetching. Maybe asking for 1 meme for every political/doom post isn’t asking a lot?

After working in Republican oppo the wildest thing is watching Bluesky liberals fall for obvious oppo. There will never be any gains from our cutting off our noses to spite our faces. People make mistakes, they have imperfect lives, and your decisions have never been 100% pure I guarantee that shit.

For months we followed what happened when a company forced AI into the world of craft beer. Legal threats, people quitting, and beer judges in revolt over being told to use AI. "It is attempting to solve a problem that wasn’t a problem before AI showed up"

✨ I just published a brand-new blog post about a modern CSS feature! But, honestly, I’m still on the fence about it. 😅 In this post, I’ll dig into the gnarly issue I ran into, and share three possible workarounds. Along the way, you’ll learn a bunch about the CSS cascade and specificity!

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

The *reason* Ai-generated text contains semicolons, en dashes etc. is that experienced, skilful writers use these marks to subtly convey meaning and nuance in their work. And the Ai LLMs have been trained on the stolen work of experienced, skilful writers.

you can't draw a lot of conclusions from a single race. there are external factors, flawed candidates, the right political climate. but one conclusion you can absolutely draw is that all of the people who tell you that there's only one way things can be are fucking wrong
