I’m beginning to understand that many people use the word “cancelled” to index the much more complex social process we used to call “falling out of favor”

Hi, Bluesky 🦋 can you help me out? If you can test in actual Safari, what does the selection background look like when selecting text? cdpn.io/pen/debug/xb... Is it white like I set it/ like Chrome/ Firefox? Or grey like I'm seeing in Epiphany? If you cannot test, reposts appreciated. Thx! #CSS

Epiphany screenshot. The selected text is black on a grey selection background.

Chrome/ Firefox/ expected screenshot. The selected text is black on a white selection background.

@seancasten.bsky.social maybe you can get ahold of Durbin. He’s blocked all his constituents from even leaving voicemails, including me in 60181.

Durbin, from Illinois, isn’t even accepting voicemails right now. He’s retiring and does not give a shit, I guess.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Tonight of all nights I’m going to re-up my benediction for Chicago. We are everything. dansinker.com/posts/202…

No matter what happens in the coming weeks, we are Chicago. We rose from the ashes. We never quit.&10;&10;We are the lake in the morning, the sun rising over the water, its reflection drawing a line straight to our shores.&10;&10;We are the Haymarket Martyrs, the Pullman strikers, always demanding better than what we've got.&10;&10;We are the words of Sandburg and Algren and Brooks and Wright.&10;&10;We are the 90s Bulls, making the impossible possible.&10;&10;We are the dipped Italian Beef. Messy, sure, but incredible.&10;&10;We are the humidity in the summer, the frostbitten cheeks in the winter.&10;&10;We are smoke-kissed rib tips.&10;&10;We are elotes on the street. We are pierogis in a pot.&10;&10;We are Curtis singing Hush now child.

Hollywood does kinda like Roman Polanski, so maybe this isn’t the slam dunk you had hoped for. 😆

If I'm on the 379th crisis PR Zoom at Cracker Barrel today, I legit pitch Gay Woke Cracker Barrel. Just go all in. Cracker Barrels are exclusive 9-seat diners in 10 cities now. Two-year waitlist. Existing Cracker Barrels are now called Bad Old Cracker Barrel. Sell an NFT with it I don't give a shit.

Pretty sure there’s a more concise way to say “racist.”

Cory Doctorow has a short story - “Unauthorized bread” - that begins with a toaster that won’t work because its server is down and it can’t authenticate the bread. Highly recommend.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Foot traffic at Target fell 3.9% YoY in June, marking the 5th consecutive month of declines since it rolled back DEI. At Costco, which rebuffed demands to dismantle its DEI initiatives, store visits by consumers were decidedly better. #RiskManagement www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Target foot-traffic falls for fifth straight month since backtracking on DEI

Its reputation also declined over the same period, per Caliber.

screenshot of a Hacker News post complaining that Svelte is 'woke' because it emits accessibility warnings. It reads:

Why does svelte have to be this woke? Please let me write this first, i will figure out accessibility on my pace, svelte be like no, do this or we are not going to let you do it at all - we will fill your editor with warnings in a way that you can't see anything.
