So much yes

The problem is, they don't think they need to be redeemed. They're good with this. They're a cult.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

“absence of clear evidence” and “generally deferred to adulthood” is very very different than supporting restrictions.

It’s basically saying “this is serious and should be studied before serious action is taken.”

That’s *general* guidance for parents not endorsement of regulations.

I would think the NYT would understand that this statement:
“In the absence of clear evidence, the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”

Is NOT the same as supporting restrictions.

They fact checked themselves and still got it wrong?

The establishment is in full panic mode.

When they can’t debate ideas, they have to manufacture doubt.

It is so much easier to want to be kind and do things for people, and appreciate the small things in life, when you’re not completely burnt out and anxious all the time. Who knew?!

It made a *ton* of incorrect assumptions throughout. It still helped me do a lot of things I wasn’t sure how to handle much more quickly than I could have otherwise, but absolutely use with a ton of caution.

Keep in mind this also very much shows the danger of AI. You may notice that it showing the wrong APCA contrasts, using Lc 75 for large text and Lc 60 for small, when it should be the opposite. If I didn’t already have the knowledge I have this would absolutely have been a shit show.

I told Claude to use OKLCH for color adjustments and to test contrast using both APCA and WCAG 2.1. I asked it to avoid certain "ugly hues" — certain greens and yellows — for complementary colors. It took back and forth, but the time spent was reasonable.

In the iOS app I'm working on now I wanted to create a user-generated theme based on a single color. I had a difficult time figuring out where to start, so I decided to try using Claude for this in Xcode's built-in coding assistant as a test. … 2 of 3

I have very mixed feelings on using AI in design and development right now, wanted to state that right off. … 1 of 3

Just filled out my mail in ballot and really hoping you win this! 🤞🏻💜

I sometimes take low-dose edibles for sleep. I keep finding myself posting to social media if I don’t actually fall asleep before the high hits. I generally don’t post a ton, and now I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad one. Feels like I’m playing a dangerous game 😂

Damn, I am so sorry. Sending all the care and kindness to everyone that loved little Bell. I hope you all give yourselves a lot of grace while grieving 💔

Had a fairly major setback on the app the other day. Got really discouraged for a bit, but eventually figured out an even better solution. It took a lot more work upfront, but is going to really pay off in the long run! Ended today feeling very satisfied ☺️

I’m currently debating between that Snapmaker U1, and the Bambu H2S. The snapmaker’s ability to switch colors and materials with so little waste and faster printing sounds great. But the Bambu’s attachable AMS system, circulation system, and larger print area are super interesting.

Ok 3D printing nerds, we’re thinking about getting our first printer. Current top contender is the Snapmaker U1. Anyone want to talk me in to or out of this choice?

I hate this so much

WARNING: Illinois Is About to Elect a MAGA-Aligned Senator But it's not too late -- here's what we need to do to prevent a catastrophic failure and instead elect someone whose record aligns with our values

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state.

Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

A Mastodon post from Steve Faulkner shows a t-shirt design with a red anarchy symbol, using the anarchy symbol as the "A" in the words "A11Y" and "ANTIFA." There is a link to purchase the shirt on Etsy in the original post and a coupon code for 20% off.

Love this shirt!

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

“Should any transgender person be caught driving without a valid license, they could face a class B misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Kansas already requires county jails to house inmates according to sex assigned at birth.”

Fuck Kansas, so hard 😡

I need white peoples to divorce themselves from the belief that racism requires intent and malice

I’ve found more joy designing in the last few weeks than I have in a long, long time. Nothing against 1Password — they were and still are a great place to work. But 18 years in one place, watching it grow from near the start to ~1500 people, without a meaningful break, caused a lot of burnout.

Found myself saying "maths" instead of "math" today. Am I somehow becoming a Brit? No idea where that came from.

I remember the days long ago when we were able to make our Safari extension the best performing one, but a lot of that was through unofficial methods for many years. Miss those days in many ways even though other things have greatly improved.
