Cooks, codes, cuddles, and cackles, but does not croon.

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.

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.

Answering earnestly: Because no US solar billionaires own newspapers, social media networks, or TV stations.🤷🏿‍♂️ 2026 news owners are helpfully very transparent about the fact that their newspapers and social media networks cover the stories that they want them to, and from the framing that they like

Have you seen any reporting on how solar power generation in the USA is 5 times higher than it was in 2020 in mainstream outlets? If not, why do you think this is not being widely covered the same way other large technological changes are?

Doing a deep dive into CSS gap decorations. Percentage values for cap segment endpoint insets are relative to the gap the endpoint abuts, which is `0` if at a container edge; the gap's width otherwise. I spend hours figuring this kind of stuff, then write a single sentence about it on MDN.

Each `animation-trigger` value can be either `none` or `[ <dashed-ident> <animation-action>+ ]+`. Does that mean `--t play --s pause` is a valid value? That you can have different triggers for activation and deactivation? cc: @bram.us

Supreme Court Slaughter question: When (I guess, if?) the USA gets a new president, and they fire all the independent agency and commission staff to put in their own, will the Supreme Court be fine with that? SCOTUS just eliminated the whole notion of "independent" agencies & commissions.

Left the #CSSDay after-party after-dinner after-party late; got to the hostel at 2:30 am. Still managed to get to the train station at 6:30 am with 3h of sleep. Made it home with 20m to spare! Showered before heading to the next party. Another 2:30 am night! Europeans know how to party. And nap

In CSS, the initial value for `animaton-range-*` is `normal`. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W.... My question is: does `normal` always mean `cover 0%` / `cover 100%`, so can we substitute `normal` for `cover` in discussions, or might it have some other meaning? Anyone know? @bram.us maybe?

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?
