If you needed a win as badly as I have lately, mark this one down: CSS-Tricks is returning as an independent publication. Spread the word. wil.to/posts/taking...

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

well, on the one hand AI has made things significantly worse for everyone in almost every capacity that it has touched. But on the other hand, the dumbest guy you know can send emails nobody reads really fast now. So it's impossible to say whether it's good or not

I know it’s sorta cheesy but someone posted this from Paris on Reddit and I felt this immediate rush of hope

Just glad text-box is supported cross-browser now. That's all. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... #CSS

Now, this is something Tolkien would have something to say about. What the fuck are we doing here? I'll summarize books and academic papers for you and answer your relationship questions, no clearcutting required. Make them plant a million new trees. Two million.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Today I was laid off from my role at Unabridged Software, which is a huge bummer, however it was amicable. They all sure do rock. I’m grateful to the team there and hoping them the best! I’m exploring what’s next and will prolly have an answer within the next couple weeks. For now: BARCAMP OMAHA!!

Anytime you hear someone say "It's hard for me/them to do [x]". Read a book/vote/ride transit/cook a meal whatever… And your first thought is "Well, it's easy for *me* to do it." Keep your mouth shut until you have a second thought.

They think we’re all idiots As Jon Stewart says — if the goal is guaranteed income and jobs, why wait? Why is it only “socialism” if we don’t hand them trillions of dollars first?

Gonna make a new game called old school programming where you write your own app and distribute it and sell it and you can handle bugs and feature requests like we used to and you’ll get that really nice sense of solving problems and nostalgia just like you do when you play Skyrim or Pokemon

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

what a fantastic all-timer thread on this phenomena and the psychology behind it I think about this all the time and not understanding this is the difference between successful liminal horror, and just horrorslop. liminal horror is about the baked-in hostility of public spaces we millenials saw die

My toddler loves trail mix* *m&ms and raisins and throwing the other stuff in the trash come on I’ll eat those wtf????!!!

I'm not one to get caught up in video game sales data at all. But boy do I hope Control Resonant sells well. What Remedy has been creating as a studio are some of the most artistically interesting and exciting games coming out of the AAA games industry, and I dearly hope they can keep it up.

@chael.codes great talk!!
