Once again, @yaelrice.bsky.social and I published this article in 2020 so that no one ever has to debunk this vile nonsense point-by-point ever again. As we write (see the next post in this thread)...

Decided to wear the Clay Holmes hockey jersey giveaway from the #Mets game I attended at Citi Field in May. It’s the only garment in my closet that says NYC in huge letters across the chest.

Love ya, New York.

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

Where can I go to find the podcasts that are not really polished?

No intro/outro music, no expensive microphones, all the ums and ahs intact, etc…

Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month

Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental
What I do - Robb Owen
From interaction design to scaleable design systems, single-page apps to something more experimental with WebGL. I help awesome people to build ambitious yet accessible web projects
