That an escalator temporarily stairs incident (his own team caused) stays in the news cycle longer than a school shooting… I don’t know.

CSS `field-sizing` on a `<textarea>` is obviously awesome. But the horizontal growth using it on an `<input>` is less clearly useful to me. But check out this design pattern I cooked up. I don't hate it. Keeps the name area compact until you need to see more. Just a bit of flexbox wrapping.

Conservatives: “The left needs to tone down their rhetoric.” Also conservatives: “We should just kill homeless people.” Mainstream media: “The left needs to tone down their rhetoric.”

The press: “Kamala, what is your position on updates to section 420(c)69 of the internal revenue code? Too slow, you dumb bitch, never gonna be president.” Also the press: “mr. Vance you’re so dreamy, tell us more about Ohio.”

To better reflect the future of the United States and its role in the world, they should have named it the Department of Defense/Offense (DODO).

Really loved @craigmod.com’s Things Become Other Things. Beautifully-written along with a healthy dose of humor that somehow manages to sneak up on you.

Got my COVID shot at a CVS in Maryland. If you are under 65 and answer ‘yes’ to having one of the health conditions, you can schedule a shot. No prescription needed. No questions asked at the pharmacy.

The exact talent & work they are talking about was happening for 10+ yrs. The people doing that work were fired & the teams they worked on gutted & dismantled. Any journalists who do not even mention what came before should not call themselves journalists. federalnewsnetwork.com/it-moderniza...

Half the designers on LinkedIn, who want to use swastikas the way your Uncle Charlie uses the n-word, are thrilled that “design finally has a seat at the table.” Nevermind that the table is in a Nazi restaurant. Thankfully, @danhon.com lays out the truth: newsletter.danhon.com/archive/s20e...

is that what i think it is

Exactly. In searching social media about Direct File, I saw so many folks mentioning how much they appreciated being able to file their taxes without getting upsold.

I don’t know what’s real and what’s parody anymore.

@jamellebouie.net is one of the best writers of this particular moment, and his latest piece is particularly good.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

Q: How did the Direct File team build an accurate, easy-to-use filing app given the complexity of the tax code? A: Building a source of truth with a bird’s-eye view Learn how it was done via the All Screens page. Bonus: it’s also included in the open source repo! jaredcunha.com/blog/explori...

I wrote post about using AI to write alt text for images. It starts with with how you can tweak the response with different prompts, but becomes an exploration of editorial intentions and what it means to create an equivalent experience. jaredcunha.com/blog/writing...

When Republican voters surprise pundits, there's always a spate of opinion pieces arguing that we must take the time to understand the wants and desires of said voters. Apparently, when Democratic voters do it, the response is to say they're unserious people who need to grow up. Interesting.

I recently updated my personal site and I’m catching up on posting content that I’ve been putting for too long. Here are some photos I took from my trip to Pico Island in the Azores back in 2022. jaredcunha.com/photos/the-g...

GUYS COME ON I AM SERIOUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

I finally got around to doing a major update underneath the hood of my website. Minor design tweaks but nothing substantial aside from dark mode. I’ll write about it in the next few days and what I’m planning going forward.

Can I really encourage everyone who follows me to read this thread and consider reading the attached links in it. Even if you consider yourself an ally to trans people, it’s important to actually see the discrepancy between what is reported and what’s actually happening.

Got my hands on an internal IRS report on how Direct File went this season. TLDR: pretty well. 94% of users said their experience was excellent or above average. That said, the IRS is reportedly killing the free tax filing service. www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...

THREAD: An ex-DOGE engineer with no government or medical experience used AI to identify which Veterans Affairs contracts to kill, labeling them as “MUNCHABLE.” @vernalcoleman.bsky.social @ericumansky.bsky.social and I got the code. Here’s what it tells us 1/

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

Taxpayers loved Direct File, and a now FOIA’d internal report shows that. I hope that @warren.senate.gov and @ocasio-cortez.house.gov have a chance to read it.
