Not so much a hot take as an ‘observation of the blindingly obvious’ but an AI company concerned about the trustworthiness of its models’ output perhaps should have rethought naming its latest release ‘Fable’. Just sayin

Goodbye is too hard a word dad, so I’ll just say fare-thee-well . (Thinking about you dad when that Dillon song you played came on just now. Taking that as a sign of a good day ❤️)

Having a “‘White Stripes’ live album with AirPods, loudly” kinda morning

Metaphysical musings, neverending headwinds, and a gorgeous day out for an age-double birthday ride / #FondoOfTheMonthClub N°100 in a row. Grateful that Goldberg was game to come along for the occasion. Just ride. #cycling #roadcycling #strava #fondo 183km/1161m/7:13

My usual 1hr easy ride loop that I do before work is neither an hour nor easy when the team is -2°C. It’s April FFS. <grumpgrumpgrump> #cycling

today’s race to prove the least reliable (between Amtrak and MBTA commuter rail) is being resoundingly won by Amtrak. This is not a compliment.

Went to the Country Music Hall of Fame last week & blown away by the Muscle Shoals exhibit. Then a tour of Hatch Show print shop & they had the exhibit poster. Shoulda bought it when I was there, but they have it online so I fixed it ❤️ (photo is from exhibit) shop.hatchshowprint.com/products/mus...

The work is important. Doing good work is important. But I’m learning that the work rarely, if ever, speaks for itself. I am still learning how much I have to speak for the work in order for its value to be recognized. #TechCoMusings

~7 years ago I started curating a list of Design Tokens resources on GitHub… today I launch something better. An updated, tagged collection of 292+ articles on design tokens. www.alwaystwisted.com/projects/dtm... more links/resources coming soon. 🙏🖤 #DesignTokens #DesignSystems #WebDev

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

Week 4 of no heat in half the house. Maybe today. Then the coffee maker died, and dammit this is just a bit much. FFS.

When AI can generate good-looking work instantly, “good” can’t carry the weight it used to. Change the conversation to reflect what design has always been at its best: goals-aligned, research-informed, constraints-aware, and outcomes-focused. @pseudoroom.bsky.social shares how.

Still trying to figure this thing out, but I have set up a shop selling code for visual components. So far, just one item, more to come. ko-fi.com/anatudor/shop If you have suggestions for what other things to include there, I'm listening.

Visit Ana Tudor's Shop!

If you like my work and you want me to be able to continue coding, please consider supporting it.

Well, CSS Day is live now ( https://cssday.nl ) and I've got a bunch of related things to do but unfortunately I'm ill and can hardly concentrate. So the going will be very slow this time.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

Today’s gratitude post is dedicated to @adactio.com and his wonderful resource Going Offline (goingoffline.adactio.com) - Just finished adding a first pass at a service worker for rwt.io thx Jeremy!

Thx to @bell.bz & @cydstumpel.nl ‘s posts I’ve got some fun lil’ view transitions on my site rwt.io

A little rough but migrated kitreviews.cc over to @11ty.dev paving the way for shutting down my virtual server. First time since maybe 1997 or 98 that I haven’t had a server to run CMS sites on. No more custom CMS, no more Drupal, not even this last Wordpress experiment. Weird.

Been keeping this tab open for months, maybe longer? Finally put @5t3ph.bsky.social ‘s awesome lil pen about using css filters to make images work better in dark mode. Put it in practice on my site rwt.io this morning in minutes. So. Good. codepen.io/5t3ph/pen/Vw...

There are a lot of way more important things to deal with in the world right now, but after a very long journey we shipped an update that completes the shift over to our brand font across all of Chewy.com (and we were able to do it via one theme file, loaded from a central cdn). Feels pretty great

Still plenty of work to do but pretty excited to relaunch my website for the first time since 2018. Lots of new typography and techniques already, and really chuffed about how it’s coming along. Welcome to the new rwt.io

Will give this a proper write up soon but finally figured out the JS to create a web component to mimic ‘shape-outside’ for text line boxes. Then I have to resubmit it to the CSSWG issue queue. Example and link to repo here: jpamental.github.io/shape-outsid... #typography #design

Every once in a while I get a nudge from a friend I haven’t spoken with in a while. This week it was the wonderful Mr @zeldman.bsky.social - hello Jeffrey! Nice reminder that sometimes social networks can actually be, err, social :)

What a lovely thing to be included in this! Thx @johnpicozzi.bsky.social lostcarpark.com/advent/2025/...

Why are mobile browsers so intent on capturing ‘hover’?! It’s just dumb, and breaks things for everyone, making you have to tap twice. Seems bad for everyone. (I know you can put it in a pointer media query, but conceptually it’s just dumb)

When you realize a coworker is following you on Strava and sees you subtweeting work frustration in your ride titles…

Always a good day when even a bit of it gets spent with @csswizardry.com - so good to catch up tonight, and looking forward to the next couple of days together at #WebUnleashed

I miss the immediate satisfaction of everybody freaking out about #wordle being down and tweeting about it

Gave a new talk today at #SmashingConf about ‘typographic curiosities’—in performance, responsiveness, and expression. Loved the response so far so wanted to share the slides and resources: noti.st/jpamental/3A...
