"This is bizarre. These three members of the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party seem willing to eat our faces. How on Earth did that happen?"

"If you're feeling burned out at all. Especially with all this stupid AI stuff that we won't stop talking about… Build something. Build something fun. Build something silly… And oops you accidentally learned something along the way… We need more of this on the internet." ❤️❤️❤️ www.sillysoftware.club

What the fuck are the Labour Party even for anymore. This was their big showpiece policy, which got watered down to the bare minimum they could get away with politically, and even then it’s essentially been reversed. Absolutely, and completely hollowed out of any purpose.

Sampling your RUM data means missing what actually broke. Wed 5/7 @ 10 AM PT: Join @cliffcrocker.bsky.social and @andydavies.me to see how (and why) Embrace captures 100% of browser sessions. Part of Web Performance Week. Register (and get the recap if you miss it) ➔ shorturl.at/H06h6

➡️ Nearly 900 of you have asked your MP to protect inclusive spaces from anti-trans lawfare. The 'Alliance Defending Freedom' helped overturn Roe v Wade. Now they're in the UK, openly threatening parkrun for including trans people as themselves. 📮 Will you get us to 1000? protectparkrun.uk

The dreadful OFS has had its terrible decision regarding "gender critical" reactionary Kathleen Stock quashed by the High Court. Will have more thoughts once I have read the judgment.

Really interesting performance/conversion correlation study across a huge swath of Shopify sites. The usual log-normal distribution but strong impact even from 100ms deltas. Particularly interesting in that a lot of the platform is shared/controlled but still wide variety in experiences/content.

"Electrifying industrial heat in India is now cheaper than producing heat from natural gas and oil across all temperatures, and cheaper than coal in three of five temperature bands, representing 55 percent of the country’s industrial heat needs."

"Once immigration is fixed" is a very revealing phrase. It shows what a lot of Labour MPs (and the government) think of us. We are a problem to be solved, not members of the community like everyone else. And our lives must be made harder to satisfy some mythical Red Wall voters.

Reminded last night of an actual ongoing trespass issue: In Powys we have not just one but TWO fox hunting groups regularly hunting across our nature reserve. They have been told they are not allowed. They don’t care. If one of us peasants were hunting rabbits on their land, we’d be in shackles.

📢 Speaking at @pixelpioneers.co Bristol on 19 June are: @rachelandrew.bsky.social @morganepeng.bsky.social @christinevallaure.bsky.social Kardo Ayoub @heydonworks.com Nick Lewis Candi Williams @lurkmoophy.bsky.social @debugbear.com's Matt Zeunert 🎟️ Tickets: pixelpioneers.co/events/brist...

Apologies to all the people of nations I didn't mention on that list, but you too, are amazing, and should be cherished for what you bring to the table. I live in Hackney so i should also mention Turks and Kurds - who add so much to the borough.

Seriously - immigration is fucking awesome. Any community will be improved by the addition of Poles, Indians, Sudanese, Japanese, Ghanaians, Vietnamese, Germans, French, Lebanese, Nigerians, Pakistanis, Irish, Jamaicans, Estonians, Germans, Indonesians, Malaysians, Ethiopians, Armenians, Greeks...

Immigration is good

Edge's experience is similar, and the benefits accumulate all through the stack. Moving to WC from React delivers more than 40% faster LCP at P75 for us, but also dramatically better memory use and interactivity all the way down the device performance curve.

It does not matter how fast you can code. What matters is how well your code serves you and the people you wrote it for. The amount of revenue it makes. The amount of maintenance that it costs. Old code is profitable code. That’s what you want.

None of the ~1,000 saplings we planted have guards because we’re out of budget for anything other than volunteer tea and coffee. The biscuits are OLD. Get this crowdfunder to £9,000 and I’ll go buy the fanciest non-plastic guards and get them rabbit proof asap. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/warleigh-n...

Wondering if anyone that follows me has a work Palm Pilot (not emulator, I have those!). I'm after a (nice) photo of it running an old game I wrote. Appreciate the hardware is from a good few decades ago! (I'm sure I saw mine in the 2010s, just don't think I can sync it).

Good thread response here. Shout out to the Popular Inclusive Front of Web Perf and Accessibility.

I say it every year - if you're even the least bit interested or involved in web performance, this is THE place to be every year. It's the one trip I prioritize my travel budget for. The talks are awesome, but the hallway track is unbeatable. The concentration of experts in one place is insane.

Am I losing the plot, because – to me – the most obvious reaction to a fuel crisis would be to massively subsidise things which are more fuel efficient (eg public transport)? We do in fact need people to be using less fuel.

Next step in the journey is finding him a garage to take him on, as its not a full time study apprenticeship. So if you have any contacts in a 30 minute drive of Banbury please shout! I've got a long list of people to contact, but any "in" would be very welcome.

Hired a camper for EMFCamp Because it’s in the school holidays some of the companies around me will only rent for a week or longer but the friendly local hire company I used last time were willing to do 5 days… even got the same van

Is your street looking like a moonscape? Potholes are the perennial subject of “just fix it” Facebook outrage – but in 2026, wet winters from climate change, heavier cars, and spiralling pressures on council budgets have combined in a perfect storm. Our long read: oxfordclarion.uk/the-hole-in-...

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

@johnwards.bsky.social Saw this in Fuerteventura earlier in the week… and thought you’d like it

Blossom season 🙂 🌺

A better world is possible. Love these tipping points.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

Today is the 89th anniversary of the birth of one of the most important creators of voltage-controlled synthesizers, Don Buchla (1937—2016).

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Noodling away by the pool… making plenty of nice tunes but buggered if I can get the arpeggiator to work on this thing though

Marketing budget. £0 CEO salary: £0 Campaigner budget £0 We just have zero chance of doing any of this flood mitigation and ecosystem restoration without you. Especially with me putting an axe in my foot trying. I’m slower than we need to do the work in time.
