Thinking of kissing in the nook of a big hulking tree on a hill overlooking sprawling golden fields.

I am on the hunt for one (1) gooseberry honk! 📢🪿

Looking to sue Apple’s phone app for psychological damage after accidentally calling my client while checking if a spam caller was them (I just billed them a few days ago)

Loving the giant canopies of the plane trees 😌

Booking the capsule hotel with huge skylight and no AC was perhaps not the best of moves 🫠

Brilliant upthreads brought to you by not sleeping on a redeye 🤪

What’s it called when you quote post your quote-posted quote post? I can’t explain it but I think of it as threads but UP

I have learned (almost) nothing Coded on the plane again, but this time I only tried to fix all the smol things. Not at all related to the hostel where I’ll be staying.

It’s hydrangea season 🥰

Fresh cut, met some old coworkers for dinner, and now I’m walking home past some of my favourite buildings 😌 The air is hot but dry. Life’s good 😎

It's summer on @davidsocial.com

Just discovered that you can propagate hydrangeas via cuttings. Next year's garden's gonna' slap.

I have no proof, but the weather app’s storm prediction (within the same day or even hour) is now trash, and I’m blaming the LLMs. I just want to know whether I can leave the pillows out in my gardennnnn 😩

Dipping my toes in the post-processing waters 🌊

I wish to see only the freakiest of literary devices 🔏📠🗜️

I found a bug in Threejs. It was a very minor bug (a single extra space that broke my shader code), but the perfect bug for me. I was about to do My First Ever Open Source Contribution™️ when I discovered that it was fixed 3 weeks ago 🥲

Tuesday in the garden ☺️

Today is another shader day, and there's no console.log() with shaders. Instead you must do divination with square mangoes 🥭

There's a camera on Marketplace that saves images to FLOPPY DISKS, and um... this is so weird I must pick it up for science!

Still thinking of karaoke last Thursday. Some guy did the most epic rendition of Wuthering Heights, and now I want to read this book because it just sounds so outrageously campy. Pining on the windy moors?! YES PLEASE!

It's way too complex to get the rgba value of one pixel from a PNG in the browser. Like... fully expected to write something like img.getPixel(x,y) but here I am using the Canvas??? 🖼 Like, bro(wser), you know what the rgba is; you already rendered the image! Just tell me what it isssssss! 👹

Burning up 🔥🍞🐅

Opened up the ol’ iMac G3 and found 2 oddities: - A crooked cap… is it broken? What does it do? The Mac is running fine 🤷‍♂️ - A little rubber foot thing with a wire attached. Truly wtf is this??

Browsers on video game consoles have long been a majorly underdocumented topic. That changes today with my latest article, which I can confidently say is the most comprehensive game console browser coverage on the entire web. I'd love for you to give it a read: vale.rocks/posts/game-c...

Tag yourself. Today I’m feeling essential, hot, and in progress 😎

For the fourth time, nominations for this year's Tiny Awards celebrating the "best of the small, poetic, creative, handmade web" are open. https://waxy.org/2026/06/tiny-awards-2026-nominees-are-open

Shaders are so cool and also so difficult! 😎 ⬅️ shades to cover the shader-induced tears

Wandering through this field of gems today 💎⛏️

Comparing my hyper focused on-a-plane code to my more leisurely cafe code: I can do some crazy complicated (to me) stuff when I dedicate a long stretch to it, but *I don't understand it later*. Going a bit slower literally forces better code because it has to withstand me forgetting the details.

Wow I stopped using Figma for Big Work Stuff ™️ for like 6 months and suddenly it's acting all non-deterministic all the time 🥴

I didn't touch the cursed rectangle once today! 🫨

Happy pride from David Social! Unfortunately this year due to tariffs all pride sponsors are Canadian

What if I added the sprouts and blooms from my garden to my website as they pop up? 😌

Time After Time is an excellent lorem ipsum alternative. Sometimes it ends up in production, but that’s ok because it turns into a great learning experience. (Learning who Cindi Lauper is)

I've been bewitched by the Garamond and moody marketplace photos. Monday I take the train to pick this one up 🥹

There's nothing quite like cracking the patio door wide open and watching the thunderstorm with your cat 😌

Profitable companies shouldn’t even be allowed to do mass layoffs. Like oh, you hired too many people and the big number isn’t as big as you want it to be? I do not care. Own your dumb corporate choices and stop making it everyone else’s problem.

Khoa is on a business trip so naturally it’s the time to sing I Will Follow You into the Dark in the shower and cry happy tears 🥹

3 new blog posts cooking rn: - 🌳 Good park design and planning that spans generations - 🚗 How ending private car ownership could make any nation absurdly wealthy - ⚙️ Factorio game review

I call phototherapy toaster-oven-therapy because it feels like getting into a giant toaster oven. 🛎️ Ding! That means it’s done! Wait why is the dermatologist holding a giant pat of butter?!

So, I just bought my first dev conference ticket! 🥹 Do I know anyone going to Three.js Conf in Paris in September?

Every time I see a piece by Emily and Konnaire, it's like receiving a little gift 😌 This one invites you to slow down a little bit and enjoy the sweet bounties of spring! 🌱🌷🌱🪻🐝

So, if I understand correctly, AI use is going to go way up, not because people actually want to use it more but because formerly-dont-be-evil corp is using their monopoly to take search hostage?

It's not sustainable that people are going to just have to keep leaving various tech platforms and tech tools behind every few months. Most people aren't going to do this.

Baby’s finally ready to leave the nest 🥹

Help my sister is on a work call and some manager is asking if the LLM "knows the codebase", and I'm taking secondhand exposure damage.

Highly recommend reading The Secret Garden in the spring, while dreaming of your sunflowers sprouting 😌🌻

Wild how it isn’t even warm out yet and the sunflower seeds just know that it’s gonna’ be a hot day and decided to sprout! 🌱

They didn't ask any questions about pets in the census, so in the feedback section at the end I made a write-in for Capitaine. His full-time employment is catching mice and napping. He does not speak English or French, but he does speak cat. He did not graduate high school. 🐈

Some more angles of this embroidery-knitting combo aerial landscape (bit of a mouthful to type)! Lots of summer heathers and soft hills :) I've got the whole piece photographed on the second post in the thread! 1/2
