Team Anna or Team Elsa?

Reagan and Thatcher being absolutely best pals.

Kemi Badenoch was asked on #BBCBreakfast how she'd deal with insults from Trump if she was PM. She said handle it how Margaret Thatcher did. Ah yes, we all remember that super-frosty US/UK relationship at the time. Blue team need a bit more imagination, I feel. #ukpol

I can't believe the "New Yorker" REJECTED this cartoon!

I hope we return.

Fuck everyone who makes you feel like you're under sustained attack. They ruin things for us all.

I will say publicly that dealing with you at your worse is still a genuine pleasure.

Slow the non-slop people down enough, the slop will start to look a lot better. Even if it starts to get worse.

April 30th we welcome:

Our next #webdev #webdesign #Sheffield #meetup:

Alfie & Neil presenting at FES.

A slightly avant-garde #FrontEndSheff last night, but one of our attendees said it best:
> "I feel excited about being a dev again now thank uuu"

Alfie & Neil put on a great show for us: highlighting the range of tools + skills we have as frontend devs to fix… well, loads of stuff. Thanks lads!

Alfie presents his events bot at FES.

I love @alifeee.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy 's #Sheffield events bot (@events@events.sheffield.alifeee.net on Mastodon) - it's genuinely how I find stuff to do with the kids in town.

Leveraging #ActivityBot and some selector-heavy scraping. #FrontEndSheff

It's a shame that despite a 'fresh slate', #SYMCA are doubling down on this approach: www.southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/social-media...

Hah. I'd hope to be a better developer maybe if I took more flights.

Web developers know before booking flights to use their laptop, so they can reset/inspect local storage & cookies in order to get the cheapest flights upon return visits to a search… right?

Thu (26th Mar): Spaces available for 'Microhacking the modern web' w\ regular attendees Alfie & Neil.

They're tackling #Sheffield events, post- #IoT hardware, buses & who knows what else? It's DIY & hobbyist-driven as we take a break from the corp. AI-rollercoaster! www.meetup.com/front-end-sh...

It is. Just that the race is to cram as many 7 year olds into the boot as possible before the local plod catch on.

Agreed. But Google has been manipulating titles in search for years, depending upon context or… well whatever they fancy tbh.

A Wall's-branded Citroen Xsara.

An ice cream machine inside the car.

Found this absolute corker on Facebook Marketplace. 2ltr diesel. Built in ice-cream dispenser. Apparently only 10 available in the UK, presumably most of which are owned by child-abduction enthusiasts. £4k 🍦

Oh, reactions are exquisitely done: no caching so every time you want to add one it has to load everything again remotely. The joy of mobile apps… don't you dare leave your home WiFi!

Doing a #webdesign - checking color contrasts: it looks okay but doesn't pass #a11y WCAG AA… fair enough. Try again. This is design.

New message on #MicroSlop Teams - purple for links and purple background for messages. Any link is invisible. An app used by literally millions of people. c'mon guys.

Happy birthday. Nice to see you on your grown-up bike :-)

There are some friends of #FrontEndSheff / @frontendnorth.bsky.social involved with this. They say this is the final one, but we hope not.

Are you going? We are! Tickets still available.

1/2: This is unironically why SUVs are so popular.

2/2: This is how I'll die.

Trump knocks one out for his adoring fans.

"Yes, hello is that the car dealership? I like high-end German vehicles but I also really appreciate the aesthetics of the music video for "Take On Me" by the Norwegian synth-pop sensation 'a-ha'. Is there anything you could recommend?" <pic related>
