“A threat model for accessibility on the web” alice.boxhall.au/articles/a-t... A deep, well-researched & cited piece detailing systemic failures down the web stack (standards bodies, browsers vendors, etc) which marginalize #accessibility and its voices — but with proposed solutions. #a11y

New blog post: Under-investment A few weeks ago I made a comment on the socials about how surprising it is that there's so much stuff in the web platform that needs more attention than it gets. @davatron5000.bsky.social asked if I could expand on that, here's something bkardell.com/blog/underin...

WOW! TIL that 2 of the songs I always thought were Quiet Riot originals were actually _covers_ of songs originally by Slade _way_ earlier -- and those sound _good_ www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEv6... Thanks for the lesson @anatudor.bsky.social

Great event - and fortunately not conflicting with css day this year, i think. If you can, try to make it!

Just read that its Julie Andrews' 90th birthday ❤️ here's a drawing i did of her as Mary Poppins in 2016 www.instagram.com/p/BJHMdPBBAe...

I talked to @bkardell.com & @meyerweb.com about the old days, how for half the lifetime of the web there wasn't a comprehensive test suite, why it's so important, as well as how it feeds into projects like Interop; @foolip.org and @atopal.bsky.social about how it feeds into Baseline and dashboards

(solemnly) You've had mail.

This is a US government website. 😔

Wow, I used the "listen to this page" a lot in chrome for android to read the article to me while I did dishes or walked the dog or something - but this morning clicking the same button is giving me some AI generated podcast based on the page 😱 Thanks, I hate it.

:active-view-transition was reported on Firefox bcd-data according to bcd-watch.igalia.com/weekly-compl... - marking the final engine to gain support... Not even newly available yet, but definitely worth your time to have a look! developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

Drew this today to explain where we are on the AI hype cycle at the moment. Feel free to use…

Web component folks: A common feature with request is to "inherit from a button". If that's something you want, which specific button behaviours is it you want to inherit? Why is putting a button in the shadow root not the answer?

Labeling domestic political opponents as "terrorists" and characterizing a US city as being at war as pretexts for deploying troops against US citizens.

Some nice highlighting of work commissioned by @igalia.com's compiler team in this!

This is a really clever technique, but @custom-media is not far off in Chromium too: issues.chromium.org/issues/40781... It's not quite the same as using actual custom properties, but would clean up a lot of CSS code-bases.

ECMAScript excitement 😉 @jason-williams.co.uk from TechAtBloomberg announces the release of Boa's Rust-based implementation of TC39 Stage 3 Temporal 🎉 Chrome estimates this will ship in Chromium 143 🎉🎉 Temporal is the shiny replacement for the broken JS Date API ✨

Slightly disappointed that the CSSWG minutes don't accurately capture the fact that @meyerweb.com said "Kardell's Law of Polls" 😅

This year, the State of JS survey is coming early! Go take it now! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

📢 The Interop 2026 proposal window is closing later today! 122 proposals have been created: github.com/web-platform... Is anything missing from that list? Are there critical building blocks of the web which you need to work the same in all browsers? If so, add it, or vote for it with a 👍!

Do I know anyone working on VS Code?

If we are all living in a simulation, can we try turning it off and back on again?

Ooh - Firefox landing view transition stuff last week according to bcd-watch 👓 bcd-watch.igalia.com/weekly-compl...

Every time I'm in a grocery, I wind up with a person in front of me who seems (from the time its taking and the amount of touche) to be trying to use self checkout to orchestrate a hostile takeover or find a connecting flight or something

Hey just saw that the SVG Working Group is back together! Congrats! Note: The MathML Working Group is still going! We meet once a month, and would love to have all the browser vendors join and participate in our discussions.

It's Friday, time for another round of 'clearing of the open tabs'

How is it i seem to have missed this until now? Fun and interesting challenge by @tantek.com.web.brid.gy tantek.com/2025/257/t1/...

My favorite thing i learned today is that when @timbl.bsky.social was younger, he built a computer - breadboards and soldering etc.. and he wrote his own language that ran on it, and called it TimPL. I love it. I might have to refer to HTML as TimPL now..

In W3C IRC meetings, you "acknowledge" someone to remove them from the queue by typing "ack ${whoever}"... But I always read this like a comic book, like "ack! bkardell! Not again!"

Is it just in Pittsburgh or everywhere that Amazon trucks just don't give a fuck about parking in the middle of the road?

I would love a collection of videos that are just "The Story of <x>" where <x> is some web API, or element or anything and it's just like - the people who made it and how it wound up like that. Part of what you'd get in an explainer, but narratively. I would listen to the hell out of that
