iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Westside Cowboy… I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a band. It's like they've combined all of my favourite things: The build-energy of The Velvet Underground, a touch of Jamie T, a dash of The Strokes, the messiness of Frightened Rabbit, and the harmonies of The Magic Numbers 😍

Their debut album is out on Fri. I’ve been listening to the preview tracks and EPs all day. They’re so so good! Nabbed tickets to see them in a couple of weeks but they’re pretty much sold out everywhere. I really hope they blow up and time turns backwards

Since Friday I've had Phoebe Bridger's album on repeat, uncovering all its layers. How devastatingly pretty with its wide soundscape—and what a perfect trilogy of albums.

Cheers. Can’t see one when I search for “border” but maybe I can make one myself

Is there a way to get rid of the thick border UI around the browser? It’s the only thing stopping me using Zen. I really don’t understand this trend. It looks terrible and distracting on websites with predominantly white or black backgrounds

There are only 2 note-perfect comedy series—The Office (UK) and Fleabag. Every single scene has me wriggling inside with pure joy 🥲

Well apparently there is a remastered 4K version of the BBC Pride and Prejudice miniseries that you can't watch anywhere in the UK ☹️ Oh, you take delight in vexing me! It was available on BritBox, but since it was absorbed by ITVX it's disappeared. What a travesty.

I've tried at least 3x to move from Figma -> Sketch, but just can't make it work for me 😔 Sketch has some awesome newer stuff, like it's command palette (YESSS), and I love its UI. But there too many weird friction points, like the preview window behaviour, and Figma is so zippy in comparison

I'm very late but only just catching up with The Last of Us Season 2, after recently replaying the game. Wow, Eugene's death (which wasn't in the game) was such a brilliant mechanism to show Ellie who Joel really is. Very clever and lucid writing—and a mesmerising performance from Joe Pantoliano

Everything here is CSS, thanks to anchor positioning. I'm having so much fun in 2026

Hot take: being easy to work with is _just_ as important as technical skill

A great article by @addyosmani.bsky.social addyosmani.com/blog/cogniti... Offload; don't surrender. "Cognitive offloading is delegating to the AI and still owning the answer. Cognitive surrender is when the AI’s output quietly becomes your output and there is nothing you feel is left to check."

Well the new Studio Display is going _right back_. The colour temperature felt weirdly orange next to my MacBook Air. Maybe it’s fine in isolation, but my 8 year old LG Ultrafine fits much better with my MacBook display. So odd. Looked around at some alternatives and the BenQ MA270S looks perfect.

I’m really excited to be working on the next version of Statamic Forms this week. I’ve moved from the “blank canvas I hate everything” phase to the “starting to get a buzz” design stride. Design is either torture or joy. Nothing in between!

I tried to love Penpot, I really did—but there are just a few too many keyboard-related friction points for me. It doesn't seem like you can quickly rename layers with a nice shortcut (F2 is weird), and even pressing `?` to bring up shortcuts doesn't actually focus the search box 😮‍💨

Jay @jaygeorge-uk.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Haha, right? When I saw the title of the report, I was panicking, thinking it might be bad/the opposite 😅

Protest and purchase power absolutely work. The plummeting of Tesla sales in Europe, Elon exiting the White House, the rise of vegan products and menus, the popularity of actually-good zero alcoholic drinks. Carefully boycotting or choosing goods/services shapes the world we live in.

After lamenting Plumtree (band) disbanding for a few decades, I've been listening to Ratboys new album (Singin' to an Empty Chair) and grinning
