everything is kremlinology now. who the heck knows why opaque orgs do what's what? keep the pressure on entities to do what we want them to do.

go away kid or I'll replace you with a small shell script (which makes api calls to a planet-endangering plagiarism machine)

I will mourn those who I feel grief over. You can't demand I mourn. You may request basic respect for the dead. You can't demand I respect a legacy I find invidious. You can't demand I ignore the words of the dead. If you can demand my feelings and thoughts be "correct," you are authoritarian.

Yo, dawg, I heard you like slash pages so I link to my slash page on my slash page. artlung.com/slashes/ #indieWeb #SmallWeb #SlowWeb #PostingToTheVoid (shout out to Robb Knight for maintaining a canonical list)

“Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen” is a perfect title. That comic ran 20 years. Signs and wonders.

Got COVID vaccine dose number six yesterday. Left arm hurts: usual. Fatigue: usual. Taking it easy. Got in the water yesterday. California Sea Lion close to shore at #SanDiego's OB yesterday. & C---- are still running the world. Enjoy a few seconds of a chill critter. artlung.com/videos/reels...

Art/design friends, a trove of automobile sketches from students in the Detroit Institute of Automobile Styling were discovered in a barn, perfectly preserved. ca 1930s/40s. Buick, Cadillac, Ford stand-outs in their formative years. #design #automobiles

The funkiest man You’ve ever seen

🦊 I’ve decided it’s past time I start describing “artificial intelligence” as a failed technology, and I’d like you to join me. ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/agains...

Yoda was right only from a certain point of view. Anger and hate can lead to suffering. Hopelessness *is* suffering. Keep at it. Carry on. Onward. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

I think the fact the administration is afraid of Jimmy Kimmel of all people should be a considered a sign of weakness, not all powerful omnipotence.

Just saw an ad on Instagram from a generative AI account that somehow had zero posts, zero followers, and followed zero accounts. I blocked it, of course.

Also, the way these companies are caving to the current administration, I never want to hear anyone gripe about "the liberal media" ever again, because in mass media terms, that doesn't exist.

How weak do you have to be to fear what Jimmy Kimmel might say?

welp

And on a related note: youtu.be/TfH9SKo4W4s?...

Yes, this is a video essay about the (positive) cultural impact of an 80's cartoon that was essentially a glorified toy commercial. Yes, it is absolutely worth 48 minutes of your time. Great stuff, @bobchipman.bsky.social, and Happy Transformers Day to those who celebrate!

On Thursday #IndieWeb Front End Study Hall will meet. Folks who write #HTML & #CSS learn, discuss, and experiment together with what makes "front end" *stuff* work. Persons of absolutely every skill level are welcome. events.indieweb.org/2025/09/fron...

There's a nice series from @sturobson.com getting into *why* and *how* to "un-Sass" CSS. www.alwaystwisted.com/articles/UnS... @jeffbridgforth.com is making a similar leap and shares how he's approaching it: css-tricks.com/is-it-time-t...

@artlung.com I used a question from Front End Study Hall that I didn't get the chance to answer as a basis for my first article on CSS Tricks.

I am so giddy. I am now a published writer. I am so grateful for this opportunity to share my voice on CSS Tricks, which I have been a reader of since 2009.

Am I An Elder?: Queer & Confused is a 6 page zine about not having any queer role models as a kids and being confused about getting old. I'll be posting it weekly here but you can also read the entire thing on my site right now www.bootlegpotato.com/comics/elder/ #comicoop #zine #comic

I rejoice in the good things around me while also accepting the present it not perfect. #affirmation

Adding more video in the form of "reels" to my personal site, and yes, video remains pretty much a hassle. webm files play fine in a video tag. The mkv file had to be converted, dealing with aspect ratios is wonky. Etc. artlung.com/videos/reels/

I’m queuing up “All is Lost” “Sneakers” “Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid” “All The President’s Men” to look at the man. But also “A River Runs Through It” and “Quiz Show” to try to see how he looked at us. RIP Redford.

Happy #8bitday yesterday! It was the 256th day of the year. See last year’s post for why the 256th day is 8-Bit Day: https://tantek.com/2024/256/t1/happy-8bitday-binary-byte Since last year, the related Wikipedia article on “Programmer’s Day” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer%27s_Day) […]

TypePad is closing down at the end of the month and Phil Gyford has shared the process for downloading a TypePad blog (so that you can turn it into “a pretty self-contained ‘static HTML’ site”). [gyford.com]

I am sad to report that the misery and loneliness seem evenly distributed in the world. Courage, people.

Immediately brought to mind the older concept of "hot tubbing": artlung.com/blog/2020/06...

I made some windmills. On a lark. #HTML and #CSS, naturally. codepen.io/artlung/full...

I continue to run this affirmations bot. It most certainly helps me on some days, even though I manage it. It's randomized in the best way.

I will take notice of nature today. #affirmation

Bad news: this a.m. ran out of migraine med imitrex; good news: it’s been over 3 years since I last refilled it. Counting this as a middle age win.

cc @sleestak.bsky.social Trying to figure out from where this was shot and I can't quite do it. Maybe from the park area with a good lens? Dunno. Don't know the vintage, but I'd guess late 60s/early 70s.

If you consider yourself a member of the #IndieWeb and use a static site generator #SSG which one(s) do you use? Doing some wiki gardening category-wise and want to document what we're missing since we get a fair number of questions about choosing and using SSGs. Thanks! indieweb.org/Category:SSG
