I just dug to the bottom of my Big Box of Cables to find two cables that I needed for something. They've been in the bottom for 10+ years. So, "when are you ever gonna use these?" was today. Don't ever let anyone take your Big Box of Cables away.

incredible work by 1PW leadership fucking up bad enough that a fight over Arch Linux for Racists escaped containment so completely that now Jamelle Bouie's telling 750k very online millennials, almost certainly the demographic most likely to pay for 1PW, to go cancel their 1PW subscription tonight

insane how genuinely difficult it is to get job interviews at all rn. Like basically impossible.

It's like running into a dingy dive bar and yelling "HEADS UP, THIS PLACE ISN'T DOING AS WELL AS THE BAR AT THE W HOTEL IN TIMES SQUARE" Like ok well the W doesn't let you do coke bumps by the garnishes, what are we talking about here

Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica. prospect.org/2026/08/11/m...

prospect.orgMamdani’s Taking On Amazon. His Opponent? Chuck Schumer’s Daughter. - The American ProspectLegislation before the New York City Council would end Amazon’s subcontracting of delivery drivers. Jessica Schumer is the lead lobbyist against it.

Started writing a blog post draft. So, of course, that means right now I suddenly need to; read every unread post in my RSS reader, read those two tabs I've had open for a week, oh and do some laundry. I just noticed some dishes need done too

This is 100% valid CSS I just used. The supports is because color-typed attr doesn't have quite the browser support I need right now. Pretty cool.

Also realized after it's slightly wrong. The condition should be `@supports (background-color: attr(x type(<color>)))`. That way it's testing the exact thing I'm trying to do.

js devastated (this is awesome)

Chrome 150 shipped the new text-fit property. There are no real MDN docs, and the spec would be the best we've got if it weren't for Krijn, who documented all the options with visual examples. https://krijnhoetmer.nl/...

This is completely cooked brain shit right here. Imagine thinking creative expression should be "efficient".

Working on a refresh of my personal site, making some fun hover/focus styles with animated svg filter effects

I forget because I rarely do it, but one of my favorite skills is bombing live coding interviews in the most comical way possible. Just total brain collapse.

Saw The Odyssey, obviously looked and sounded great. And the changes to the story and tone were fun. Going back for a 2nd watch.

This era is producing some of the all time best bullshit marketing messages. This one on Figma's site is light speed bad.
