So today I learned that the web component shadow dom totally encapsulates all your styles except for all the different holes into which your global styles can leak. This has always been a global cascade stan account but it still seems counterintuitive to me.

I'm begging you to play another game, TikTok lady

gm to the tiktok lady who said the myth of Sisyphus is about the value of having a good daily routine and that Sisyphus is happy because he is getting more swole every time he pushes the boulder up. my brain gets hot like an old laptop thinking about it

The more typescript discourse I read, the more I come to believe there is a "step on me Mommy" school of thought in programming. Masochistic Epistemology: whatever hurts is true.

Can someone please explain to me what the absolute entire fuck is the deal with Tailwind CSS? It looks like a utility library for people who hate css that somehow went from a beta release directly into a culture war.

I drive like a little old lady and I invite you to die mad about it.

Look now, a woman with opinions on a thing she's an expert in gets well-actuallied in the comments by white men in real time who are not experts in the thing. Except one, and you can tell. I checked.

🚨 Reminder to recruiters, resumé reviewers, and hiring managers 🚨

Using #OpenSource contributions as a factor in sourcing candidates or making hiring decisions is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea.

I don't know if The Three Body Problem is Chinese propaganda or not, but the Three-Body series by Tencent definitely is. Also it's a great show.

I've been gleefully hate reading about George Santos and his ongoing revelations, until the most recent one where his alleged drag persona was revealed from 2008. He might actually be telling the truth when he says he's gay?

I'm not even saying it isn't a fight worth having, but for all the feelings and sensations we watch horror for, a persistent sense of "that moment when the vibe goes bad at a rowdy bar" isn't one I was looking for or expecting.

These shows keep getting gayer and blacker and transer and fatter and womanier and it seems like it's driven entirely by spite and I am totally here for all of it but I can't get past the little tickle in my brain that someone is trying to pick a fight with this stuff.

Does anyone else look at shows like The Sandman and the American Horror Story series and see their choices as explicitly hostile towards the howling internet shitgibbons?

I think I just gained programmer points. When googling my current problem, the results contained my own article from a year ago.

Past me doesn't answer my question, for the record.

This is what makes the internet wonderful.

As promised, a song improvised at my parent's house.

This song is for @JortsTheCat. They asked for a song about a pen called Dr. Grip.

It continually amazes me how people think remote work was invented during COVID.

This happened and now I'm 60 bucks deep into a @JetPens order

These are pens worthy of enormous excitement. These pens just got delivered and are being handed out like prizes right now. People are squealing with glee. Some of them are different colors

Ok #css nerds, I'm working on creating a theme for bootstrap 5.2, I'm making changes to buttons, specifically the padding, and building bootstrap from sass.

I can override --bs-btn-padding-y in the relevant class, or I can override $btn-padding-y (or $input-btn-padding-y) in the sass. What's the difference here? I think the former is easier to read and find, but that's the only distinguishing feature I can find on the face of it.
