Ghost of yotei comes out in a week and I only just started the DLC of the first game.

It's a bit of a surprise to me, but there are still tickets available for performance.now(), the most important web performance conference of the year: perfnow.nl I'm booking my travel, and hope to see you in Amsterdam next month!

The kind of problems we see in #opensource with AI-slop PRs are prevalent in other sorts of work too

Tylenol parent company stock plunging, as they listen to the US President, eMD say on live TV to not take it.

Jesus Christ Daily Fail is pumping out the paracetamol thing on FB, not even sure why it is on my feed. This is definitely the worst timeline.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Oct 14 Firefox 144 will ship JS-powered view transitions with `startViewTransition`. 🎉 Of course, this is only the first step because we're all waiting for cross-document view transitions, too, but I'm still very happy about view transitions being on their way to work everywhere.

The arbiter of good taste

💯 “Client-side web development is perhaps best conceived of as influence-oriented programming. Once code has left the datacenter, all a web developer can do is send thoughts and prayers”

"Your Party" is done. We don't have time to mess around with this TERF-aligned clown car. Get behind the @greenparty.org.uk

UK politics basically are competing on how to be the worst party at this point.

We need this, it will make the web better.

Added an Interop 2026 Proposal for CSS Scroll State: github.com/web-platform... – please upvote! It would be nice to remove JavaScript requirement for various popular design patterns we're all using on the web (floaty navs, scroll shadows etc) cc: @nerdy.dev @bram.us #webperf #webplatform #webdev

As for CLS, @duffeh.bsky.social proposed it for Interop 2026. Vote it up here if you want that: github.com/web-platform... Lots of other great proposals to upvote too while you're there! Or even suggest a new one if there's something you want supported cross-browser — the process is working!

In case it's not obvious, Wes Streeting has designs on supplanting starmer as leader/ PM possibly. And many in labour will think "a gay leader! a brilliant way to show our tolerance". But streeting is a self loathing anti trans piece of shit. So. That'll also be a disaster.

LCP and INP are part of Interop 2025 so hopefully coming to Firefox and Safari this year! 🥳 Checking in, I'm seeing: Firefox - LCP is in stable 🎉 - INP is behind a flag 🔜? Safari - LCP is being actively worked judging by spec questions 🏗️ - INP is available behind a flag in STP 🔜? #CoreWebVitals

Kemi Badenoch refusing to condemn Elon Musk, saying "she doesn't think" he was inciting violence, and that his comments can be interpreted in multiple ways

Wouldn’t it be nice to have one day where the human rights of LGBTQ ppl were not ‘being debated’. Just FYI this false talking point is a Heritage Fdn/ADF one. The so-called Gender Critical movement seeks the abolition of same-sex marriage, as a next step after trans erasure.

Even if you don't contribute a proposal, you can participate in Interop 2026 by upvoting your most desired features, here are a few of mine: Invoker Commands: github.com/web-platform... Scroll-driven Animations: github.com/web-platform... LoAF: github.com/web-platform... #webdev #webperf

Ways to track LCP and INP are coming to browsers this year, hopefully for 2026 CLS we can get added. github.com/web-platform...

One of our politicians in the UK is saying that GPs are overdiagnosing children with SEND and mental health conditions. I can only speak with authority about autism diagnoses, but I can tell you that they are torturously difficult to obtain. I wrote about it here: samwho.dev/blog/getting...

I say this every year and always mean it: WOW, what a speaker (and MC!) lineup we have for @perfnow.nl conference this year! I can't wait to see all these folks on the stage! This is when #PerfNow ticket sales start to go bananas — and we always sell out — so lock in your ticket soon! perfnow.nl

Back in my home town for 2 weeks, let's just say the mobile network service is great at showing what sites are performant or not 😅 Occasionally get decent speed and then it suddenly drops.

What utter dickheads we are… Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal Farage and his MPs voted it down Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on The mega wealthy win again.

"Zack Polanski said it was 'rank hypocrisy' for Nigel Farage to call for Angela Rayner's resignation and not to do so himself." inews.co.uk/news/green-p...

In a functioning democracy with a decent press, these would be wall-to-wall headlines: Fury as Farage Urges U.S. to Punish Britain Farage Accused of Undermining UK Sovereignty But no... "The stamp duty receipt that ended Angela Rayner’s career" FML

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Hey folks, I'm looking to schedule the next PerformanceObserver meetup and need some new CFP submissions. I have a few experienced #webperf speakers on there, but I like to break it up with either newer speakers or new-to-webperf speakers. performanceobserver.dev/call-for-pap...

"The Tory Party is dead" says Nadine Dorries, as she defects to Reform

Bit of a paradox that it takes a US Democrat to challenge Farage, whereas UK Labour does a decaf tribute act for him

Really excited to be speaking @perfnow.nl this year—my favourite conference run by some of my favourite people! If you're into web performance (or wanna be!) and like a great conference with a super friendly vibe then pop along to Amsterdam at the end of October. Tickets selling fast! perfnow.nl

Hey, happy to help here- he actually suggested using violence against a protected minority. Don't worry, accurate journalism is difficult when you're selling an agenda :)

Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Sickening footage from Nuneaton tonight, where a Sky News interview with a local businessman was disrupted by racists hurling abuse. Another local said, "Warwickshire Council Council has gone to Reform... It's given certain people a licence to be aggressive and racist."

This is deeply upsetting tbh

🧵 Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims (see thread). As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Actually jaw dropping from James McMurdock MP, even by his standards. We cannot become numb to this. The far right are in Parliament, and they're trying to normalise outright, vicious racism (same goes for the likes of Rupert Lowe too)

In fact the judgment does not turn on the ECHR (according to the summary)

Here he goes.

I’m going to blow your minds (sarcasm) right now. The reason people are scared of migrants and trans people is not because migrants and trans people are actually terrifying threats. It is because people are suspicious of difference, and because that’s suspicion is easily weaponized by the right.

Must be accidentally banksy.

hate to be a this guy, but this

These are the rights we all enjoy that Reform want to scrap

Reform Zia's Yusuf says a Farage Government would rip up protections against human rights abuses, torture and trafficking, in order to deport more migrants. Remember that these protections apply to everyone living in the UK. Once they're gone, they're gone for all of us

Fun quiz for CSS fanatics out there 🤓 Give Sunkanmi a follow too 👍

I bet she calls herself an "expat". ~AA
