Now lets see the history of all the different ways Core Web Vitals have been manipulated by agencies and companies to make claims not found in reality. Or acknowledge all the flaws of lab data. Or any of the multitude of issues with these metrics.

This history of Core Web Vitals by @addyosmani.bsky.social is a great read. addyosmani.com/blog/core-we...

The History of Core Web Vitals

This write-up is a history of how Core Web Vitals came to be based on my recollections from our work on it at Google from 2014 onwards

also if you ever have to plan services look in your area - in Washington State we are lucky to have People's Memorial, which is basically a funeral co-op. Which seems twisted but let me tell you the cost savings is real

thing I tell everyone (after losing both parents) Had someone added to everything; bank accounts, medical accounts, bill accounts. I kept a small amount of mail going to their house so one of us could "prove" residency if needed. And we did need that.

There were 6 local Seattle businesses who pulled ads, including our local "structured settlement" lawyer and the "help you get custody" lawyer - 2 businesses that are mainstream local advertising dollars

The Jimmy Kimmel tug-of-war was about free speech, yes, but it was also about the free market.

I mean they lost 6 of the biggest local businesses running ads here in Seattle this week

as someone who still watches the ABC show live off of the network channel here in Seattle it felt like Sinclair wasn't thinking at all and the loss of bigtime local advisors came real fast

For years my mom would watch Pact 12 basketball & Seattle sporting events on mute with the local announcers on the radio rather than subject herself to Bill Walton and national accouncers

Since I'm old enough to have actually watched The Sopranos when it aired, it also means I was lucky enough to be introduced to Alan Sepinwall's writings and deep love of entertainment and have been a fan ever since. Easiest subscription to do!

Some news: yesterday was my last at Rolling Stone. For now, I'm going solo, doing all my TV reviewing, recapping, etc., at my newsletter. I hope you'll consider subscribing. Many more details here:

Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech."

Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

If I don't see multiple ~media reporters~ columns about the extraordinarily irresponsible Wall Street Journal report from yesterday morning — and their extensive promotion of that inflammatory report — you all should just pack up and go home.

the fact that no one has done that, or turned it into a documentary, blows my mind. My work wife is a color guard/winter guard one and the STORIES she had!

It’s very easy, in these moments, to see who has never had their right to exist peacefully in society on the ballot.

The killing of Kirk is horrible. That’s it. Nothing about the way he practiced politics was good.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · Sep 11

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”

So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.
