This is entirely for me. It's both a celebration and a declaration. 20 years ago today I was diagnosed with tonsil cancer. Surgeries, radiation therapy and chemotherapy and I am still here. Certain treatment side effects are forever. But. Again. I still hear. Fuck Cancer! #cancer #fuckcancer

Frightening. But also very possible and possibly even probable. 😱

@css.cafe I have just bought my tickets (finally) for CSS Day 2025 and the workshop. Are there any plans for CSS Cafe to do anything before or after the conference? I want to block my hotel and travel to make sure I will attend.

"Following" 😎 concept easy to understand. Threads from those I am Following. "Popular with friends" I assume are threads that are the most seen, followed or liked by those I follow? "Discover"? N*I. Not a clue. But. No matter what. Shouldn't these lists be exclusive of each other? #bluesky #bsky

My "Discover" feed is practically identical to my "Following" feed, while my "Popular with friends" feed has very, very few entries. Please give me a "Discover" feed WITHOUT threads that are in my "Following" feed. My #BlueSky rant for the day. Thank you #bsky for listening.

This is the first person I subscribed to on GitHub and I never regretted it. This is going to be my go to newsletter for quite some time to come.

La France est l’un des derniers pays de l’Union européenne à n’avoir pas légalisé ou dépénalisé l’usage de stupéfiants. Pourtant, cette question reste totalement absente des options envisagées dans la lutte contre le narcotrafic. https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/france/111124/legalisation-des-drogu…
