Chrome/ Firefox/ expected screenshot. The selected text is black on a white selection background.

Hi, Bluesky 🦋 can you help me out?

If you can test in actual Safari, what does the selection background look like when selecting text?

Is it white like I set it/ like Chrome/ Firefox? Or grey like I'm seeing in Epiphany?

If you cannot test, reposts appreciated. Thx! #CSS

“Our powerful drive to learn about ourselves, each other, and our world, is broken into scant remnants — hollow, clutching phantasms of Content Creation, speed-cut vertical video, listicle thought-leadership, ragebait and the thread emoji.”

Welcome 2026.

Gonzo says "and Tiny Tim, who did NOT hit her. It's bullshit. He did not."

watched part of a pod save interview with rahm emanuel and that guy is genuinely delusional if he thinks he is going to go anywhere in a democratic presidential primary

Remember your own words

@seancasten.bsky.social maybe you can get ahold of Durbin. He’s blocked all his constituents from even leaving voicemails, including me in 60181.

🧵

Durbin, from Illinois, isn’t even accepting voicemails right now. He’s retiring and does not give a shit, I guess.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

No matter what happens in the coming weeks, we are Chicago. We rose from the ashes. We never quit.&10;&10;We are the lake in the morning, the sun rising over the water, its reflection drawing a line straight to our shores.&10;&10;We are the Haymarket Martyrs, the Pullman strikers, always demanding better than what we've got.&10;&10;We are the words of Sandburg and Algren and Brooks and Wright.&10;&10;We are the 90s Bulls, making the impossible possible.&10;&10;We are the dipped Italian Beef. Messy, sure, but incredible.&10;&10;We are the humidity in the summer, the frostbitten cheeks in the winter.&10;&10;We are smoke-kissed rib tips.&10;&10;We are elotes on the street. We are pierogis in a pot.&10;&10;We are Curtis singing Hush now child.

Tonight of all nights I’m going to re-up my benediction for Chicago.

We are everything.

Hollywood does kinda like Roman Polanski, so maybe this isn’t the slam dunk you had hoped for. 😆

Imagine if it was the puppet bike.

Sargeant Splashworks (Scarlett Johanssen) reloads while Bobby Blaster (Zebediah Crawford III) takes on a Tyranno-soak-us Rex It's not stupid.

If I'm on the 379th crisis PR Zoom at Cracker Barrel today, I legit pitch Gay Woke Cracker Barrel. Just go all in. Cracker Barrels are exclusive 9-seat diners in 10 cities now. Two-year waitlist. Existing Cracker Barrels are now called Bad Old Cracker Barrel. Sell an NFT with it I don't give a shit.

A screenshot of an iPhone notification from the New York Times that reads “News Analysis: President Trump has used the federal government to promote a vision of America in which the concept of diversity is taboo.”

Pretty sure there’s a more concise way to say “racist.”

Something not so bready

It’s a great collection. I also liked the one about “Superdude” and “Batguy”

BREAKING NEWS: Slim Pickens (Louis Burton Lindley, Jr.) had a younger brother (Samuel), and if you don't think his stage name was Easy, you've got another GOTdamn thing coming.

Cory Doctorow has a short story - “Unauthorized bread” - that begins with a toaster that won’t work because its server is down and it can’t authenticate the bread. Highly recommend.

A vintage news article with a headline that reads “Hitler assures Poland: Says on anniversary of amity pact that friendship will endure.”

Seems relevant today.
