We’re closer than ever to winning major tax reforms that could transform the economy for the many.

That’s why the greedy, powerful few are spreading hate and division... they want us distracted.

We’re in the fight of our lives. Chip in today so we can win it together 🤝

Put a new battery in my 10yr old Macbook Pro, installed Arch on it (btw) and it's running like a Pro again! Think I have everything working... bluetooth, audio, wifi 🧙‍♂️

Had a chat with the BBC about “ambient” music whatever that means in 2025!) and the proliferation of wellness, sleep and focus playlists. Spoke a bit about my own music and my label too www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How ambient music went from 1970s niche to the mainstream
What is it that has helped this genre find its way into everyone's headphones and ear buds?

Dunno about anyone else but I’m not sure how I feel about bundlers having documentaries now. The cult of JavaScript is strong 🙄 *focus in from bokkeh blur as man in beanie types command into terminal, lines cascade and fill the black empty space as he leans back and sips his terminal-black coffee*

Been working on complex visual effects with 3D CSS transforms and backdrop filters for a client job, man the browser implementations are buggy - some of this stuff is not really ready for prime time. Feels like IE era with All The Browsers open wondering why they can’t just render the same way 🫠

Is it just me or does the new iOS design feel really buggy 🤔 Feels like the rounded corners 'snap in' sometimes and I'm noticing general UI clunkiness, like when swiping through modes in the camera app. Doesn't feel Apple-y, maybe they'll iron things out 🤷‍♂️

Trying out Kagi Orion browser, liking it and all good till I remembered I'd have to use Safari's dev tools 😑 Fired it up and had a look at responsive mode 🤯 WHY have I never seen this before? Multiple breakpoints all visible side by side?? Is this a Safari thing or Orion thing?! I LOVE IT @kagi.com

Our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in
terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.

Was working in VSCode when all of a sudden the open editor starts filling with jargon... uhh... wtf - I turn off wifi immediately thinking someone's rooted my machine. Turns out, my kid was in the other room bashing my bluetooth connected keyboard. Ahhhh, the joys of WFH 😑

Cross-referencing Figma designs with dev I'm working on, layout said 1440px but it was clearly bigger. Turns out, Figma's interface scale also scales artboards. WHY?! We have zoom for that. Interface scale should surely be for UI elements only (as implied by the name!) @figma.com

I built a playable Softbody Tetris using #threejs #tsl and my softbody engine! 🕹️

I still consider this a work in progress, but you can already try it out in your #webgpu compatible browser here:
