Here's John Fetterman complaining on CNN about how mean Bluesky is to him -- and how the far-left is way more "poisonous" than the far-right.

Switching a couple of components from shadcn/Radix to @base-ui.com was shockingly easy. The API is so thoughtful and intuitive. The data props make styling and animating so easy. 😍

"Sometimes hitters can pick up differences in spin, they can pick up different pitches. But if a pitcher can change speeds, every hitter is helpless, limited by human vision. You just can’t do it.”

“Except for that fucker Tony Gwynn."

- Greg Maddux
My favorite Maddux fact was that Tony Gwynn owned him because Maddux's thing was to confound batters by delivering his whole array of pitches from exactly the same arm position and motion, and Gwynn would just look at the ball and read what pitch was coming out of his hand by seeing the stitches
In my day, Greg Maddux would flummox hitters with the gentleman’s strike (six inches outside) and we loved it, dammit!

The Spirit Engine is a unique side-scrolling RPG from 2003 that is being remade for modern systems by @aquellex.ws and the original creator Mark Pay. Begging everyone to wishlist this because it is one of my all-time favorites and imo still holds up.

need product differentiation?

overhire a #CSS front-end team and ask them to:
- polish whatever
- add delight wherever

and watch as your product becomes smooth and buttery while everyone else's gather dust and crust

UI is a huge space offering differentiation via quality

Arguably Atlanta’s (former) biggest grifter gets a spot among the griftiest administration. Who could have guessed?
Also the leader of the failed Buckhead cityhood movement!

I gave a talk at the final XOXO conference.

At first, I thought I'd revisit my first talk from ten years ago. But it turned into something different. Something about life, and art, and… McDonalds?

19 minutes. Try to go in without spoilers and watch until the end. 🙏

MAGA is going to chase you over here. They'll chase you where ever you go on social media. They can't survive without making you miserable. Why do you think Truth social failed? They need conflict. Don't give it to them and don't engage. Bluesky has amazing block functions. Block them into the void.
The slow trickle of MAGA folks over here underscores how much their experience of online is entirely dependent on people getting mad at them. It also underscores how even they, given the option, would rather not hang out with themselves either.
