Mark Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority government through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.

I wrote about configuring Tangled.org CI to deploy to Cloudflare Workers. It turns out to be very easy, but I couldn't find any other resource about this. Baby steps away from GitHub. (I'm also sporting a snazzy standard.site embed card 💅)

We've shared a few things to help you get away from big tech over time but this specific event (and the resources) looks great. di.day/en

Given that a big part of the role of the RCMP throughout history has been removing Indigenous peoples from their lands and culture, it’s not surprising the federal government is hiring more RCMP just as they plan to ramp up resource extraction on Indigenous lands.

OSS burnout claims another project. On 2 Apr, an entitled user angrily asked the burned-out maintainer of nvim-treesitter to “go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people”. The maintainer replied “OK” — and archived the repo, stopping development of nvim-treesitter.

Varsho hitting a 10th inning grand slam is what a needed to see today

Every Layout is a collection of composable CSS layout patterns. Here's how I extract them into a reusable pattern library I can use in any project. Hat tip @bell.bz

If only Bezos cared about journalism the way he cares about sci-fi television

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I can’t say enough good things about the JavaScript for Everyone course, Every Layout and the articles and newsletter published by Piccalilli. If you’re looking to explore the exciting world of front-end, these are dollars very well spent.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

A quick tip for folks using Pundit with Phlex views.

GOODNIGHT, SEATTLE!

This is it. 86,791 words. 836 emdashes. 625 `const`, 141 `let`, 16 `var`. One (1) reference to the pause music from Battletoads for the NES. Spread the word: JavaScript for Everyone launches tomorrow.

After a redesign of my personal website, I share some thoughts on the unexpected benefits and surprising lessons of vanilla CSS

I can't stress enough how important it is to make an example here. Take all the money from these companies. Find alternatives. Vote with your pockets because fundamentally money and power is everything to these insufferable pricks.

🚨Survey on the boat excursion zone. Please fill it out. Some boaters have been upset & threatened to disrupt Hanlans beach (speed camera vigilantes but on water). We need more fortified & larger swim zones like in the EU w ropes/floats to keep boats & jet skis away from swimmers. 🚨

#CSS question: Given two items in a flex container, is there a way to have a vertical border (border-inline-end) between the items when the items are adjacent in a row, and a horizontal border (border-block-end) when the items are stacked in a column?

THE STRIKE CONTINUES!

I built a site for #BrockYardRevival campaign; effort to fundraise for a new yard for Brock PS in Toronto. The kids greatly need a revamp: the current yard has no play structure for kids older than 6, has massive drainage issues and is surfaced with cedar mulch. brockschoolyard.com?utm_source=b...

I don't usually post in here, but I want to get this on the record so people I interact with know where I'm coming from. I live in Canada. I oppose imperialism, war, threats on national sovereignty, unchecked capitalism, racism, and patriarchy.
