Just 3 Saja on our way to #SWCJ #HalcyonForever - see ya soon!

I love it when a plan comes together. First Braack created the story on the #Starcruiser. A few months ago @othermaciej.bsky.social asked for a sticker for #NotALothCat inspired by the Japanese film “House.” Kevin Shoemaker drew it and now we’re swagging #SWCJ with stickers and shirts!

Mini Saja and Imagineer meetup at #SWCJ - the Saja and the Imagineers that made us. With @nicktierce.com Anisha Deshmane, Michael Serna, @autumn-d.bsky.social @squirrelydoc.bsky.social @ezaesq.bsky.social @othermaciej.bsky.social @circuitswan.bsky.social

Glad to finally announce a project I’ve been working on for years: the Roxie theater in SF is buying our building! I’m the head of the Capital Campaign, and we’ve already raised 5M of the 7M we need to buy the Roxie. I’d love it if you’d consider donating some money to help us!

I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216. It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines. webkit.org/blog/16547/b...

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and I love this sign.

With Safari 18.4 shipping Ogg container support for both Opus and Vorbis, did Safari just pull into first place when it comes to media format support??

Reasonable to ask if we are now oppressing the Russian opposition at Putin’s behest. theins.press/en/news/280037

This is how law firms should do it.

There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults. First, styling the in-page part of controls + the popover for <select>. (Later we’ll do popovers for more things.)

One of the oldest arguments against giving any rights or process to the people we accuse is — one constantly “rediscovered” by the shallow and the dim — is “well they didn’t give their victims any rights or process.” That’s fatuous. /1

Every time I think Trump can't go lower he finds a way.

The next president needs to disband ICE and rebuild immigration enforcement from the ground up.

Disgusting and absurd.

Hilariously craven. Democrats invoked a law allowing Congress to override Trump’s “national emergency” declaration, which allows him to impose unilateral tariffs. Requires a vote within 15 days. To avoid a vote, the GOP declared that the entire rest of this year will just be one very long day.

"The AVMA never recommends raw diets for dogs or cats because of the risk of multiple pathogens..." and the spread of H5N1 makes raw feeding riskier than ever. "The strain that’s currently circulating has a near 90 percent case fatality rate in domestic cats” www.popsci.com/health/how-t...

Behold…. The best pic the internet has ever birthed. If you know who did it… I would love to give ‘em credit !

Not really seeing how the cited piece advances personal liberties or free markets.

In this instance, standing up against and defying the United States of America is the morally, geopolitically, and strategically right decision.

A message for Jeff Bezos: my colleague @ilyasomin.bsky.social on why supporters of free markets and personal freedoms should fear and oppose Trumpism (and thanks for including me in list of Cato people working hard to defend constitutional liberties).

We heard your requests! Responsive Design Mode in Safari 18.4 beta now has a dropdown of preset viewport sizes available. Along with a button to switch orientation.

Anyone in NYC going to this Japan Society event? I desperately need a copy of this book! japansociety.org/events/cat-d...

WOW! Trump just blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Putin. He literally slammed Zelensky about the war saying: "You should have never started it." This is straight up Kremlin talking points and propoganda. Trump is a Russian asset and a TRAITOR to the USA. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

There’s gonna be so many variations on this theme over the next three years and eleven months. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Got my Melon Bar, Egg Bar, and vending machine snacks ready for my #Severance S2.E1 Rewatch with my SpaceFam.

Coveted as fuck

"I think it's not an absurd ask to be able to eat fruits all year"

BlueSky puts a lot less racism, nativism, and longform Trump tongue baths in my algorithmic feed than Twitter. Great! But, for some reason, a lot more thirst traps (and ineffective attempted thirst traps). I did not ask for it and I’m not sure how to make it stop.
