TIL that flautas not only look like flutes, but is Spanish for flutes. 🤯 #TheMoreYouKnow

The FAIR Package Manager works. We proved the model. But engineering isn’t the hardest part. Adoption is. I wrote about the experience, what didn’t happen in #WordPress, and what’s next: carriedils.com/building-fai...

Thank you @kevinpowell.co for including a link to easingwizard.com in your newsletter. Not only is this a really helpful tool for building #CSS easing functions, but it's pretty and fun to play with. :)

Dear developers, Please respect the reduced-motion preferences of your users. I'm tired of your websites making me nauseous. Motion is fun until it makes your users sick. Here you go: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

What are y'all using for cloud backups of your hard drive these days? I've been using BackBlaze. I haven't had problems, but I've also never had to use it to restore. I've heard it can be problematic. What do you like/use?

I’m getting a new MacBook for the first time in the post-COVID era. I love the clean slate of a new machine and am not going for a full disk migration. That said, have any pro tips for the switchover?

New Alexa update: re-enables Follow Up mode (even though I previously had this disabled) and now treats background chatter as a formal invitation. Apparently “user settings” now means “helpful suggestions.” If this is progress, I’d like the version that understands consent. Alexa must go.

I hope the halftime show makes Trump’s ass itch.

The incomparable Brandi Carlile performing America The Beautiful at the Super Bowl.

“As someone who doesn't watch sports I was surprised to see that so far hot lesbians are winning the Super Bowl.” - Linsey Fagan 🤣

Brandi Carlile and Sista Strings performing absolutely beautiful rendition of America the Beautiful. #SuperBowl

Superbowl is my annual reminder of how Roman numerals work.

I want to say I’m shocked, but I’m not. Disgusting and shameful behavior (yet again) from my country’s “leader.”

Nothing signals “I know what you did today” like standing in the UPS line with your Cologuard box. 📦 💩 #BetterThanAColonoscopy #PoopInABox

Hi there, fellow white people (especially my fellow white dudes)! It's Black History Month, and all of us who have lived in the privilege bubble our entire lives should get educated! Every day this month, 28daysofblackhistory.com drops a new story in your inbox. Every single one of them is amazing.

I’m thinking about ditching the Amazon ecosystem but I’m pretty deeply embedded, particularly with my Kindle and Alexa/smart home stuff. For those who’ve made the transition, I’m curious what replacement options you’ve gone with.

RIP Catherine O'Hara. You were a true delight. apnews.com/article/cath...

good idea unless you wanna see a snuff film

Funding Open Source for Digital Sovereignty by Dries Buytaert dri.es/funding-open... tl;dr: Sustainability means paying the source creators and maintainers, not just those at the implementation level

I'm scared to update to Tahoe.

Thank you @raydoesdata.bsky.social for literally the best response I’ve seen on the socials in a long time.

It’s about to get really cold (by Texas standards), so I’m enjoying this 64deg, sunny afternoon on my patio while it’s here.

This is Peanut. He decided to stay home from work today. Doesn't have a job, but is too exhausted to go even if he did have one. 12/10 (TT: peanut5025)

@layer is such an underrated CSS feature, it solves most of your architecture specificity and distribution problems honestly. It's not mentioned enough.

Somebody tell me something good.

NextDoor is a cesspool.

You know you've sufficiently trained ChatGPT with your preferences when it returns this response to a question: "Hell yes."

When you let Ticketmaster pick the best seat but it doesn’t account for…Texas. #GoFrogs #TCU #NAACW

We really appreciate @godaddy.com supporting captions for WordPress Accessibility Meetup. It makes a big difference for a lot of attendees. #WPA11yMeetup

"DHS lied. Trump lied. Noem lied. The Honda driven by Renee Good, who an ICE agent shot and killed this week, was already turning to the right away from the officers when the one who allegedly feared for his life fired the shots." - @404media.co In what world is any of this acceptable?

Watching the End of Era docuseries with Taylor Swift. Dammit, I think I’m a #Swiftie.

This is Ollie. He found a perfectly placed carrot snack on his walk. Simply can't believe his luck. 13/10 best day ever (TT: maxime_aries)

Raise your hand if you think this is about drugs?

Well, I just set fire to 30 lovingly hand-crafted jalapeño poppers on my grill and briefly thought I might have to pull out the fire blanket I got for Xmas to quell the mighty flames and avoid burning down my patio. I really hope this isn’t a tell on how 2026 will go. 🔥 #HappyNewYear

Do you do end of year reflection posts? If so, please share. I love those.

I wrote my 2025 year-in-review. WordPress, FAIR, CloudFest, consulting, a new podcast, and a lot of clarity. Link in reply.

If you wanted to see the Inside CECOT segment from 60 Minutes, it aired in Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you, Canada, for sharing! 💚

What's a word you reliably misspell? One of mine is "palette."

It's the last day of Open Enrollment for healthcare plans in the US. My monthly premium is 50% higher starting in January. That's cool. Cool cool.

Holiday Shopping #ProTip: If you have an Amazon Echo Show/Hub (or other device with a screen), scrub settings so that your unfinished cart, recently browsed items, or recently shipped items don't display right there for everyone to see. 🤦‍♀️ #SpoilerAlert #AskMeHowIKnow

Liquid Glass. Just no, Apple. Make it stop.

It’s not just #LGBTQ, it’s suspended protections based on race and religion as well. This is a city I grew up in and I’m ashamed of it. No stops. No shops. No gas or food. #BoycottArlingtonTX

If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.
