I've made it to December 1 without hearing Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You on the radio or at the supermarket, and they had Christmas music. On the other hand, I've seen memes online about that song (and Mariah Carey) since late October. Are we memeing a song out of the airwaves?

CSS doesn't align items with Grid. The whole universe realigns itself to place items exactly where CSS demands.

Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer once told CSS !important meant "not important." CSS corrected them. That's why you don't hear from them anymore.

Texas played 5 games against top 10 teams this season (won 3, lost 2) and may not make it to the playoffs. Meanwhile teams that have only played two ranked teams all season will likely be in the playoffs. Lesson learned: schedule easy calendars. It matters more the # of wins than who you face. 🤷

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

An article about triangles and CSS. I have always said that using borders to draw triangles with CSS is a hacky solution and shouldn't be used... but there are exceptions. Spoiler alert: they involve logical properties.

💡 CSS Tip! Use modern CSS to create an arrow shape that adjusts according to the direction and writing mode. A direction-aware shape!
