Fred Rogers in my humble opinion
was one of the finest men ever to walk this earth.
For many fatherless children he was a beacon of empathy and wisdom.

I hope this starts your morning the right way.

One of my goals this year is getting better at CSS. I joke that my CSS skills peaked in 2015. But CSS has gained a ton of new, really cool things and browser support has been moving quickly compared the days of old.

This talk by Dylan Beattie from NDC London 2026 is a great introduction to what CSS is capable of these days.

I’m also slowly working through a course called CSS for JavaScript Developers by Josh Comeau, which is fantastically done.

Learned today that Discord doesn't allow you to just delete a DM conversation. You can only close it.

You have to delete every individual message inside for them to be gone. Insane.

That's the value of platforms. The *danger* of platforms is when they grow so powerful that they usurp the relationship between the parties they are supposed to be facilitating, locking them in and then extracting value from them (someone should coin a word to describe this process!):

Everyone needs platforms: writers, social media users, people looking for a romantic partner. What's more, the *world* needs platforms.

Say you want to connect all 200+ countries on Earth with high-speed fiber lines; you can run a cable from each country to every other country (about 21,000 cables, many of them expensively draped across the ocean floor), or you can pick one country (preferably one with both Atlantic and Pacific coasts) and run all your cables there, and then interconnect them.

A white MAGA man shot & killed his daughter because she criticized Trump. Why is no one asking the questions they'd ask if he was Black, brown, immigrant, or Muslim?🧐

For example:
•Where was he radicalized?
•Why is their culture so violent?
•Is this what they call "honor killing?"
•Why won't they assimilate to our values?
•What radicalism are they teaching in their churches?
•Was he here legally from Europe or was he an illegal?
•Did you know they cite their Bible to command women to be silent?

Just so EVERYONE understands this:

Moderna has a flu shot. It works. It works well. It is safe. It is safe in people with compromised immune systems (like cancer patients!).

Trump’s nutjob at FDA, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., appears to have ordered FDA to refuse to even accept the application to review the shot for approval.

RFK wants to kill your grandma. Fuck RFK.

Courtesy a climate-related account on LI, take a look at this. Just so's ya know, the current extent of our climate crisis and the worse that is to come was entirely a choice that was made. For us, not by us, but it was a choice.

Too many lines have been crossed for anything to normalize when Trump is gone.

Democrats are about to fund ICE again, on the heels of several high profile murders. How do we ever come back from that as a country? The mask is fully off.

Technocrats are spending a trillion dollars on Surveillance Capitalism 2.0. Not only doesn't it need Trump to operate, it'll be better off when he's gone.

Trump leaving is just the end of the beginning. We may even one day find him quaint.

I think it would be very hard to convince anyone reading Hitchhiker's Guide for the first time that Zaphod Beeblebrox wasn't written specifically as a commentary on Trump and the type of power he wields.

We've known about power and spectacle for at least as many years as that book has existed, yet we've managed to distill all of our problems down into a Trumpian sludge, and some of us refuse to drink anything else.

Will Mueller She Wrote write our new federalist papers on Patreon after the old man chokes on an Adderall pill? Do you see Nancy Pelosi guiding us to the promised land in full Kente Cloth when the Democrats squeak by a win?
