What year was "Great Again"? Apparently, pre-1896. The last public execution was James Cashier, on July 30, 1896; when women couldn't vote, SCOTUS upheld racial segregation with Plessy v. Ferguson, laws criminalized same-sex relationships, & indiginous people and Asians were denied citizenship.

When you cover shit with gold leaf, it doesn't stop being shit. It's just gold-covered shit. And it stinks. Can someone inform the idiot in charge?

After 7.5 months of tweaking, reviewing, and rewriting, the docs for Scroll-Triggered Animations have landed on @developer.mozilla.org (MDN)!

Congrats and thanks to Chris Mills and @estelle.bsky.social for their hard work and sweating the details on this!

It turns out explaining basic human consent is so bewildering to some people that someone literally had to whip out a stick-figure cartoon about Earl Grey just to get everyone on the same page.

A straight guy in a gay bar can suddenly articulate consent perfectly: “I said no” “I’m just here for a drink” “Nice doesn't mean interested” Congrats. You just quoted every woman at happy hour. Your shirt, smile, or accepted drink aren't permission. Remember that next time a woman turns you down.

I just bought a new-to-me phone... an iPhone 11. (Upgraded from an iPhone SE, which I always hated. The iPhone 11 is a great phone. Worth fixing. I also love my iPhone XR (2021).

If a $500 check lands in your mailbox, cash it. The regime didn't spend ACA premiums as directed because they wanted the ACA to fail, so it basically is your money, after all. Just remember, when you vote, it's the GOP that cut ACA subsidies and raised ACA premiums in the first place.

Police evicted an 87-year-old disabled woman from her apartment for a corporate landlord, but they don't have the resources to test rape kits. The police don't keep you safe. They keep wealth in the hands of the wealthy. Clear evidence you should not be voting based on police endorsements.

There are a lot of people who think their parents got their brains destroyed by Fox News, but somehow they’re not getting their brains destroyed by staying on Twitter.

AI wastes so much of my time. Hearing about it. Explaining to people what is and is not real. Reading slop. Slop emails. And, of course... ...tooting about how much it wastes my time.

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

You or your company, or both, should become a monthly backer of Open Web Docs today!

Please always say "pregnant people" or "pregnant persons" instead of "pregnant women". In addition to being trans-inclusive (bonus!), it humanizes women. These terms are repugnant to fascists, not because they're inclusive, but because they don't want to be reminded that women are actually people.

One thing I see a lot in Lyon, France, that I rarely witnessed anywhere in the USA is pure, unadulterated joy.

Scroll-triggered animations: drafts.csswg.org/animation-tr...

The animation-trigger property includes activation and deactivation actions: <animation-action>. So no play state needed.

I've been reviewing MDN documentation for it for quite some time, as this is a doozy, but we're almost there.

OH: The Grim Reaper must be a male Instacart shopper because he keeps picking the wrong 80-year-old.
