Watching American horror story 13, second episode. Calling it now the really old guy is the fallen angel, the original Apocalypse being stopped kept him alive. And the new guy is the replacement devil.

@storyhb.com hey :) i’m a staff performance engineer at Framer. i have a quick q about automatic image preloading in React 19. (hopefully you’re the right person as you merged github.com/react/react/... – if not, sorry, just lmk who’s the best person to ask this at 🙏)

It is four years today since Liz Truss launched the budget that sent the financial markets into meltdown. Who could have guessed that someone who couldn't find their way out of a room might not be the best person to put in charge of a major economy?

On Wednesday I did my first public tech talk in front of people in Newcastle, on web performance. Something I have been inspired to do for a long time from speakers I worked with and know, but seemed impossible with my anxiety.

Don't be nice

Sometimes, it's more important to be good than it is to be nice.

Some think this man is the best option to run the country and this is the best he can come up with for being caught with his hand in the foreign cookie jar BBC News - Nigel Farage tells BBC he 'wasn't listening' during foreign donor talks filmed undercover www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nigel Farage tells BBC he 'wasn't listening' in foreign donor talks

The Reform leader also told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that his family are "begging" him to leave his job.

I feel like he uses the "the police said I can't for security" excuse weekly now.

Farage was - once again - lying when he said counter terrorism police had delayed his speech because of threats. West Midlands police confirm they gave no such advice.

Three senior Reform figures were involved in those Channel 4 revelations we saw last night. Two have been kicked out. The third is Nigel Farage. Farage should be suspended while this matter is investigated. He has very serious questions to answer.

The polling company JL Partners featured in tonights Channel 4 News Exposé on Reform is the same one used by Sex Matters and LGB Alliance . JLP are linked to American Christian investors that hope to shape UK policy.

We have a corrupt, dishonest, foreign paid collaborator as a MP in Clacton. To think this man has access to the highest levels of politics in our country is shocking. We need to see the Russia report published. What else is Reform and thier leader doing to undermine our democracy?

Somewhere Jenrick is preparing his leadership speech, on how he can destroy the party faster than Kemi can destroy hers.

I can't remember a clearer smoking gun than that Channel 4 News footage. Nigel Farage and his senior aides all filmed discussing apparent plans to break the law by funnelling foreign money into British politics, plans which at least partly went ahead. A criminal investigation surely must follow

I so need to see this film 😅

Whoever decided to promote Coyote vs Acme by letting Wile E do an AMA using only signs deserves all the praise.

Reading a Performance Profile: Field Guide

BREAKING! Nigel Farage returns to normality by refusing to turn up in Clacton.

Really....

Bramus is working on new ways to make view transitions easier to handle in an MPA scenario. This is in its very early stages, but look at this funky CSS. He's looking for feedback, too! https://www.bram.us/2026...

Literally underwater and they want it to be more humid. 😭

Determined our media class read Facebook comments / twitter posts and think it the real world.

Dear me.

BBC are at it again

Michael E. Mann@michaelemann.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I was not informed by the BBC that they would have a right wing political figure or lobbyist on after me to rebut what I said. The individual in question went on to spout lies about China, etc. to distract attention from the Trump administration's assault on climate action. This is unacceptable.

Amazing resource for anyone trying to understand performance profiles 👏🏻

In my audits, reading the Performance profile is where people get stuck: the flame chart and waterfall look like noise at first I built an interactive guide to make them click, every figure is interactive, plus LCP, CLS, INP and the Insights panel perf.reviews/profile-guide #WebPerf #DevTools

Birthday and Newcastle pride.
