🦦🌊 #telekitneticart #formline #indigenousart Another otter formline commission for loial otter via TG!! :>

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

ICE agent kills woman, DHS tells obvious, insane lies about it: defector.com/ice-agent-ki...

“It’s about being full human beings and not just means to an end. I want to live in a city that honors what you’re doing when you’re not making money: time spent on the playground with a kid or visiting a sick friend…we need bread, but we need roses too.” -Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson

The viewers are encouraged to take pieces of candy away, symbolically performing a sacrament of partaking of the body, and symbolically watching his partner waste away to nothing. It is such a poignant and powerful piece

My contribution to this years Web Performance Calendar is all about Third Parties and Single Points of Failure (SPOF). Based on @httparchive.org data I found that 67% of websites have at least 1 render blocking third party - and quite a few of them are SPOF risks!

What do I mean when I say everything in Obsidian should feel instantaneous? No more than 0.1 seconds. The target was established in 1968 by Robert Miller and well described in 1993 by Jakob Nielsen here:

I don't know what to say about this garbage vote to criminalize gender affirming care btw. Been trying to find the words. I hear so many friends in sadness and fear today but of what use is "I hear you"? Not much I fear. To live through this moment sucks ass (negative). We must find a way through

Got inspired

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

This's exciting to see, I'm glad LCP/INP are arriving. I'll be curious to see how full cross-browser comparisons of these perf metrics shake out

WASHINGTON AND OREGON CARTOONISTS: Seattle's bus service is commissioning 6 artists for public art pieces, 2 each, of local stories, 16-32 pages, over 2026, for $54k per artist, to be freely distributed over their ridership. details here: www.4culture.org/grants/movin...

Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability lyra.horse/blog/2025/12... "CSS hack accidentally becomes regular hack"

December is here (in a few hours in my timezone), which means the Web Performance "Advent" Calendar is back for its... 17th Edition! One article a day in the month of December. Be a part of it and contribute an article: calendar.perfplanet.com/contribute/

TGIF: I'm having some guests join me on Wednesday Dec 3rd to talk about Core Web Vitals. I revealed the 1st set of presenters today, and will reveal the others on Cyber Monday. Nonetheless, join us, @stoyan.me @cdaveross.bsky.social + a few more... 📆 Wed Dec 3rd ⏰ 11a EST 5p CET 🔗 bit.ly/cwv-summit

This is...sort of brilliant.

We're just starting a Spotlight Week on Performance. So get yourselves ready for some g-R8 content.

macbeth linkin park what i've done

Video of my @perfnow.nl keynote is up! In this talk, I challenged the false choice between magic and pragmatism. Don't settle for "fast enough". Instead, aim to create a user experience that's #pragmagical — blending user delight with measurable business impact. conffab.com/presentation...

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Happy Little Sunflower

There's a sight to see, freshly published in time for #PerfNow. Talk by @tunetheweb.com , an excellent walkthrough on how to get the most out of a truly powerful tool www.etsy.com/codeascraft/...

Huge thanks to @andydavies.me for mentioning the LoAF Helpers WebPerf Snippet at @perfnow.nl! Honored to be part of the amazing Web Performance community 🫶 🔗 webperf-snippets.nucliweb.net/Interaction/... #WebPerf #PerfNow #Performance #LoAF #INP #CoreWebVitals

“We are the user’s line of defence” between automated tools that don’t offer accountability. @tkadlec.bsky.social at #PerfNow

Glad to announce that my team at @cloudflare.social released a 1.0.0 version of a cross-browser web performance testing agent that supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Thank you to @tkadlec.bsky.social for making it happen and writing most of the code so far! github.com/cloudflare/t...

It's nice to be back at the Zuiderkerk for #perfnow, having the conference in the same city & venue creates a comforting feeling of continuity. Each morning starts with flaky croissants letting people settle in in for two days of lively talks & livelier hallway conversations. (and stroopwafel later)

The #perfnow conference started! Live stream available via perfnow.nl/live-stream....

This little snippet made debugging view transitions a lot easier

I co-wrote a post on the Etsy engineering blog about implementing Speculation Rules API (SRA) to prefetch product listing pages from search results. And many thanks to @tunetheweb.com and @cdaveross.bsky.social for the help and support! www.etsy.com/codeascraft/...

Can a leftist (progressive) position on #genai be held? I think it's complicated.

Stoyan's video from his talk about fonts and layout shifts is now live! cc @stoyan.me #webperf www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaY8...

If you loved the Living Computer Museum in Seattle as much as I did, you should know that SO MANY of those systems are still alive and running at icm.museum?donate under the same stewardship of Stephen Jones who was curator at LCM. You can visit OR connect remotely! DONATE AND DOUBLE YOUR DONATION!

pleased to announce that there seems to be a passive-aggressive conflict roiling the august pages of Cooks Illustrated, Fall Harvest recipes edition. allow me to explain:

Episode 7 is next week on Oct 23! Come join us live for access to Q&A and general chat! We have @stoyan.me talking about font fallbacks and layout shift plus some extra time for an open discussion! All details and add-to-calendar at performanceobserver.dev

We want to congratulate @firefox.com and @firefoxperformance.bsky.social for shipping the Event Timing API in Firefox 144, meaning both INP (which is calculated from Event Timing) and LCP (that they shipped previously) can be measured in that browser. More Core Web Vitals for all! 5/7

Reading through it, I'm still baffled at what the final AI-extruded product what supposed to *be*. I've seen myriad "we've come up with a possibly-new way to visualize preferences, let's use that to sell sponsored beer!" announcements, none of which panned out. Glad the judges could call it out

omg @amalelmohtar.com pointed out this is Garages vs Tigers and I can’t unsee it

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL.

Compression dictionaries is now an official RFC! www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9842....

It’s hard to believe, but Sea Otter Awareness Week is over… ‘til next year! Otters get their own week in September because they’re the real MVPs (Most Voracious Predators) of the kelp forest. As a keystone species, they maintain the balance of the ecosystem by eating! Learn more: mbayaq.co/3IPiaE5

Still possibly the greatest title drop in video games

stuck in my head, for no reason

the zoo has one of those mildly-threatening anti-shoplifting signs by the otter enclosure. in case someone tries to steal an otter
