It's a sad state when the people that inspires you the most have to struggle: bell.bz/its-been-a-v.... I'll be saving up to buy all of @piccalil.li's courses for myself. It seems like a valuable investment for the future. #webdev #frontend
It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

Working on a "double switcher" layout, based on the Switcher from #everylayout by @bell.bz and @heydonworks.com. n/2 columns at threshold 1, single column at threshold 2. Might need some cleanup, but works! Even prevents the last odd item to from going full width! #css codepen.io/mfinell/pen/...

On the first day in office, this President pardoned actual violent insurrectionists who stormed our Capitol.
Now he’s making up shit in Portland to justify using the military AGAINST the American people.
Real POS behavior from this TEMU dictator.
