       CSS's `:not()` is an amazing ejector seat. Got a weird edge case? Sprinkle some `:not(.edge-case)` and carry on with your day.

       What makes you enthusiastic about the web? A connection? A project? A technology?

       @otyugh RSS is so good. The "R" should stand for "Relaxing".Relaxing. Site. Subscriptions.

       Got nerdsniped by the @shoptalkshow d-d-d-discord and started working on a `<dial-input>` web component. Definitely not ready for prime time, but a good little one day build prototype.https://codepen.io/davatron5000/pen/vYvKZqN??editors=1010

       I'm abusing `input[type="range"]` and I don't feel super bad about it because it does give us okay touch and keyboard controls.I dunno, ymmv.

       Got an alert 33m ago about baseball sized hail and I’ve never cleaned my garage so fast in my life.

       Take a deep breath in. Smell that? That’s the smell of pure, unadulterated, ad free, algorithm free, non-monetized digital space. That’s the stuff. Thanks for being here.

       US politics is wild. You have one candidate with some pretty concrete plans to help the middle class and one candidate who’s like “Immigrants are eating your pets!” and somehow there are still undecided voters.

       [interior: Unicode consortium]> Hey, should we have a glyph for a pointing finger?Absolutely> What about filled and outlined triangle?Sure, but make them all different sizes.> What about arrows?Yeah, make tons but never a full set pointing in all directions. I'm talking seven 3D arrows but they all face right.> Dominos?Fuckin' all of them, man. Horizontal and vertical. Let's take that part seriously.

       Celebrate David Lynch's life by doing something weird. And maintain that level of weirdness for decades.

       I will forever be mystified why I –a person who is consistently confounded by punctuation and participles– picked a career where a typo or missing semi-colon will fuck you up entirely.

       "I asked ChatGPT..." is often the beginning of the most uninteresting sentences I've ever heard in my life.

       Cool tool: Zine Arranger by @nashhigh https://nashhigh.itch.io/zinearrangerI have dozens of research papers open in tabs, so I'm going to print them out as little 5pg bifold zines. Trim a half-inch on the top and bottom just to make it cuter. And find a stapler or loose rubber band somewhere in my house to bind it.

       Not many young people know this but every 3 months or so your computer mouse would lay an egg which you put in warm water to hatch a new mouse. https://mas.to/@SmudgeTheInsultCat/116080854075412423
