::huge line of coke:: LET'S MONETIZE CSS MEDIA QUERIES

you just knew as soon as he got involved it was going go Knicks game 3 on us

Just published a blog post about the new CSS Anchor Positioning API! ⚓ I’ve been learning about it over the past few weeks, and it’s friggin’ great, but it also took me a minute to really get the hang of it. My goal in this post is to share the most useful bits, so you can start using it today. 🔥

man i just can’t with the claude-written announcements. you made an interesting thing, why not describe it in your own words? “but here’s the biggest unlock, and it’s the part that’s hardest to see” i already read this all day

Help Kate, please. They’ve done so SO much lift to get where they are and it‘s so SO expensive to be sick.

A car is one of the largest purchases you’ll likely make as a consumer. If you choose to spend that $50,000 on a Tesla, you’re choosing to support child genocide. Not buying a Tesla is one of the easiest things you can do to not be a garbage human being.

New form of regulatory capture just dropped. 1. Hype your value to the moon 2. Give a small % to the government 3. Claim any future regulatory action will "cost the taxpayers" billions of dollars www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A few times a year we all gather around the computer to find out which of our constitutional rights we no longer have.

Do. Not. Use. Fucking. Sticker. Mule.

Your reminder that: a) representative democracy cannot function without adequate education. b) Republicans have been dedicated to reducing education funds for the last 50 years.

got frustrated recently at work about people writing using AI instead of using their brains! here's my take on it: sophiebits.com/2026/06/25/t...

MDN's Web Security documentation overhaul by @openwebdocs.org is complete! The entire MDN security content tree has been reworked and now features in-depth information on: - Attacks - Defenses - Authentication - Threat Modeling ↪️ Blog post openwebdocs.org/content/post...

Yeah, fuck this. Our public money is essentially being diverted from science to supporting the stock prices of ruling party donors.

These numbers are enormous, well beyond the scale of normal project grants or even major multi-center initiatives. Capital is raiding the NSF. This is not a serious policy proposal, they're just taking money from public-interest research and funneling it to wealthy friends and donors.

With ALT text. It also should be noted that all of those things are still available. Stop using genAI & search on your own. The reality is that living under capitalism means they will monetize anything they can get their hands on & convince you that you need to buy it from them. You don't.

if your dad sucks let me—an actual dad—use father's day to tell you what I think every child deserves to hear from their parents: I'm proud of you, and so glad you're figuring out how to survive this messy world. The world is better with you in it. This is extra true if you're trans.

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

Mandatory vaccinations for US troops literally dates back to an order from General Washington in the Revolutionary War (smallpox). Because having a healthy military is obviously a basic national security issue.

Get vaccinated!

do steroids make your tie smaller too?

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

WE DON’T NEED A FUCKING TREATMENT WE HAVE A VACCINE THAT IS 97% EFFECTIVE AND COULD ERADICATE THE DISEASE IF WE DIDN’T HAVE ANTIVAX GRIFTERS LEADING US 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...

I met Sharon at a speaker dinner when we were keynoting PerfMatters and walked away thinking “if I want to thrive I need leaders who believe in empathy as much as Sharon“ 8 years later* and I am only MORE convinced — it’s the core of leadership. Can’t wait to get this book in September! *😱

Stop calling employer healthcare a benefit. If you can’t quit without losing your doctor, it’s a leash.

We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

I’m middle class, left wing, and my lived experience has taught me that I’ve been afforded more human rights on account of features I was born with and can’t control (skin colour, location of birth, cisgender, etc) than other people, and that makes me fucking furious because that’s unjust

I cannot imagine having the sheer weight & load of knowing that your dad set all the world & all of its people he hated in the world on fire put upon YOU… just b/c he hated you THAT MUCH. This is an evil I refuse to comprehend. May Vivian Wilson never buckle under the weights this toad wishes her.

I think one of the problems is that people keep saying conservative when they actually mean racist. No conservative is like, "Oh, I can't listen to Kendrick because I'm actually in favor of a small, limited government that doesn't put money into a social safety net."

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

I need you to understand, you need to kill the concept of 'cringe' in your heart. Here's a modern day hero, Mr Fred Rogers, playing a piano that is no higher than his knee. And he his OWNING IT. And he is going to town. Cringe isn't bravery. Cringe is cowardise. Kill the cringe in your heart.

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

moving away from tailwind, and learning to structure my CSS jvns.ca/blog/2026/05...

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

I just sent an email newsletter out 📬 announcing a soft-launch of this year's Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD promotion: For the next two weeks, the Practical Accessibility course is going on sale! 25% off ($299 instead of $399) 🎁 Sale ends on June 1st ⏳ practical-accessibility.today

RIP to former NBA player Jason Collins, the first openly Gay, active, male pro athlete. Hard to explain what a big deal it was in 2014 when Collins signed with the Nets. He took number 98 in tribute to Matthew Shepard, the Gay teen murdered in a horrific hate crime. JC was brave and will be missed.

Newsflash buddy. People who were already sick deserve to live. They don't deserve to die. I know America doesn't really get this.

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

May 3rd is the birthday of Hind Rajab. She would be 8-years-old. She called for help. She loved pretending to play doctor. She was kind. She should still be alive ❤️‍🩹 Happy birthday, Hind 🎈 We remember you. Thinking of your mom, may all of the kindness and beautiful memories of you seek her heart 💛

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

I have an announcement! 🏫 I’ve just taken a handful of lessons from my new course and made them public, 100% free. You don’t even have to register for anything. 😄 I call it the Whimsical Animation Open House. The doors are open until the launch sale ends, early next week. ✨

Happy Spring Darmok to us all

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.

It’s eight people. Eight men whose personal net worth tallies more than $1 trillion. Median US resident net worth is less than $125,000.

I’ve posted it before, but it feels evergreen The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Something I really enjoyed about reviewing code was learning about other people and how they think. That happens much less often now.
