Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group.

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.

I'm not Canadian, but if you are, please consider this petition to keep revanchist CA provincial govts from gutting trans youth healthcare: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Pet…

Hey, since we're all talking about CECOT again, And how sending innocent people to solitary confinement is a fundamentally evil practice... Can we talk about solitary confinement in US prisons and jails yet? No? It's only bad when the GOP does it? It's okay when it happens to Black people?

The CSS is Awesome Game show was a blast and I am so thankful for our contestants and all who helped make it happen: @castastrophe.bsky.social, @davatron5000.bsky.social, @nerdy.dev, @miriam.codes, @chriscoyier.net and @oddbird.dev If you missed it, here's the video www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcEn...

I have an update that I really did not want to make. With everything going on, I am focused on this and only this. It is not the update I wanted to bring to you but here it is. gofund.me/e40b06322

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

Where those Harper’s Letter folks at

I heard you like to shake salt and pepper out of things

The real singularity is just google using slop to fake a browser feature that actually exists in multiple browsers. Who made the demo? No one. Who needs it? No one. Devrel no longer requires developers on either end. Capital has become sentient and self-sustaining. We did it! 🎉

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Mostly gifts and commissions - some in porcelain, and some using bmx/ironstone/speckled brown trout reclaim.

a sequel: cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

You know what would be cool? If some of these guys tried to replace the internet with a simple-answers machine where they control what's inside, how you access it, and what it's allowed to say. I can't imagine any problems with that! Maybe we should use their output to build all future software?

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.” Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

Sarah McBride rarely centers her identity as a trans woman. Republicans do that for her. So when she steps to the microphone and talks about "21 years of unwavering homesickness," it means something. @mcbride.house.gov www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...

so like, i’m aware that it’s not a done deal that all dems vote no on this bill flooding folks’ offices with calls tomorrow is probably a good idea if you care about the trans folks in your life

I got a few more pieces online before the holidays, if you need last minute gifts! #pottery #art art.miriamsuzanne.com

Per my last re-post, twice this year I've been commissioned to write reviews of harms that can arise from the use of LLMs and then, as we surface the harms, told it's not appropriate to be political. But LLMs are a deeply extractive technology, they are political by design.

Some new pieces for the holiday market at Kinship Studio tomorrow. Come by and stock up on gifts from several of my favorite artist friends! 2433 Curtis St, Denver 11am - 2pm #pottery

An astonishing percentage of Americans are open to car-free living. The problem isn't attitudes. The problem is the failure to invest in viable options. humantransit.org/2025/12/many...

Learn how to create color themes with Baseline web features in #CSS, like color-scheme, color-mix(), light-dark(), and the relative color syntax – fellow OddBird David Herron covers everything you need: web.dev/articles/bas...

Very happy with the concept, but had some serious glaze issues… like it just totally filled in the holes. lol, oops. I'll try again. Porcelain with clear glaze and a cobalt wash. We all agree which is for salt vs pepper, right? #pottery

A pottery story in four acts

The CSS is Awesome Game is coming up on Winging It and our first special guest joining @miriam.codes and me is @chriscoyier.net Join us Thursday, December 18 at 1:00PM ET: www.youtube.com/live/xcEnjGP... We'd love your help by filling out our 5-question CSS survey! tally.so/r/QKoaEY

When I resize the browser, I'm managing space. When I zoom in, I'm trying to re-size text. Those are very different goals, but look identical in CSS. Using vw or at-media: bigger px == fewer px. If we mess with font-size for one, it applies to both: codepen.io/miriamsuzann...

Are there good tools for graphing equations in html? Ideally with the ability to change a variable and see the graph output change? has anyone released a <ti-82> web component? If I was younger, would I reference the TI-84 instead?

I’ve started adding Baseline events to my calendar. December 9 is CSS `@scope` newly available day.

Recursive @codepen.io embeds, for science! codepen.io/miriamsuzann...

The CSS is Awesome Game on Winging It is coming up soon and we would love your help. We made a 5-question CSS-based survey if you have a minute to spare. We are excited to include more audience participation this year. tally.so/r/QKoaEY

Dialogs and Popovers are super useful for making layered UIs, and Baseline features simplify the implementation. Great article from fellow @oddbird.dev David Herron.

My latest pieces online, and I expect to add a few more over the coming week. If you're thinking about holiday gifts, consider some handmade pottery! If you like it, I want you to have it. #pottery #art art.miriamsuzanne.com

You may have missed my #CSS anchor positioning livestream with @miriam.codes and @jamessw.com earlier today, but that’s okay! The geeks at YouTube figured out some kinda magic capture thing that lets you play back live events whenever you want. Here’s ours: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXY...

I'll be Winging It Live with @meyerweb.com and @jamessw.com tomorrow, to talk about anchor positioning – which is now behind a flag in Firefox, and live everywhere else. Join us, and bring your questions! 1pm ET / 10am PT www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXY...

i think a good example of Propaganda Works is the number of you who think that the national Democratic Party spent the years 2013 to 2020 denouncing Americans for insufficient Tumblr-speak

New pieces going online next weekend! Here's a quick taste. If you're shopping for gifts, consider some handmade #pottery

Taking a break this week from filming a course to join the #CSS Working Group in Kobe (remote for me, thanks to US air travel). This 'morning' (5pm-9pm) we decided on a name: `display: grid-lanes` That's what the new CSS layout feature is called. Still more related issues this 'afternoon' (10pm)

House show benefit concert, next weekend in the Denver area! Join us! tickets are limited but pay-what-you-want: grapefruitlab.com/shows/banned... #falloffreedom

Anchor Positioning is in Firefox 145, released today (but behind a flag)! To celebrate, join me, @miriam.codes and Eric Meyer next Thursday for Winging It. We'll be discussing patterns that are emerging and rough edges that are still getting worked out. Subscribe to get notified when we go live!

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!

Responsive typography is getting so much simpler. This already works in a couple browsers, and the fallback is minimal: --progress: progress(100vi, 320px, 1200px); font-size: calc-mix(var(--progress), 1rem, 1.25rem); But that will get even better… #CSS codepen.io/editor/miria...
