We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

More like this, it's a Dirty War against America.

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: I'll take simple, readable #CSS code over clever-looking one any day. I'm more impressed with simplicity that achieves the same result than I am with "cool, complex" solutions that produce the same results.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without preparation. 1. Beef Bourguignon 2. The simplest DOM possible 3. Vanilla JavaScript

Be Loud For America! 🇺🇸 ~ JB Pritzker 9/2/25

Another great list of examples to throw into the anti-JS pile. If you’re a web developer who hasn’t paid attention to CSS in a while, give this a read! https://lyra.horse/blog/2025/08/you-dont-need-js/

🦊 I wrote about the administration’s “national design studio,” and how its shoddy construction isn’t a mistake. It’s a clear signal of priorities, and ones we need to actively, urgently rebuke. ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/a-noti...

Want to build faster websites? Here's how: - Learn how browsers parse, layout & paint - Treat JS as a tool, not the foundation(!) - Favor static HTML or server side rendering at all times - Use Core Web Vitals alongside other metrics to learn shortfalls, improve and iterate Then keep doing that.

Why is Mommy moaning?

Scientists have long wondered about how the potato's genetic lineage came to be. Now they know: The plants are a cross between tomatoes and a plant known as Etuberosum.

While he has his failings, he's not one of the crazies.

ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media. I am not making this up.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Just added a new Tabs web component to Kelp! Unlike nearly every other tabs web component you'll see in modern design systems, this one is actually functional before JS loads because it uses this cool new trick* called "progressive enhancement" 😂😂😂 *Not actually new kelpui.com/docs/compone...

@dbushell.com if I may suggest a one liner for instanciating a web component: customElements.define('component-one', class extends HTMLElement {}) Also, the constructor() {super()} is optional. Great read though, thanks.

“To eat is a need, but to know how to eat is an art." - François Rabelais I wrote a thing in which I explain why food history is important and can increase our pleasure in cooking and eating. I’d love your thoughts… jamieschler.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

For 20 years Mozilla has developed one of the most useful tools for web devs. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/blog/m... Congrats to the MDN team on an awesome milestone. I'm happy that we've played a small part in its history and I'm excited to see it continue to be at the core of every web dev's job.

If you have to go to court to get your rights honored, they are rights reserved for people who have access to the courts.

The conservative majority on the Supreme Court is allowing DOGE to access Social Security systems that contain data on millions of Americans. DOGE rifling through your personal information is a chilling thought. They need to be stopped.
