new widely-available CSS means i must revisit every web project i touched for the last fifteen years

Classic cartoon meme of two men on a bus, one looking optimistically out the window at a beautiful view of the sunset over the mountains, and the other man looking miserably out the other side of the bus at a cliff wall. The caption over both men's heads reads "new CSS features revolutionize how we write front-end"

been using kagi as my search engine for a bit over a year now, and i love how i can manually prioritize or downrank results, or even report majority-LLM content pages as slop so they can be reviewed and deprioritized for all users :)

feel like these get more insistent every year

A screenshot of a Wikipedia page. There is a sticky top bar encouraging users to donate to help support the organization. The text reads: "You rat bastard. You worm. I’ve carried you through nearly 30 years of hapless, baby-brained floundering — you ought to give me your entire salary, the least you could do is the $3 everyone else is paying. Mongrel". The user has the options: "Yes, I'll donate $2.75" or "No, I'm a weak and useless child, more poor than dirt and more dumb as well."

i'm always bringing my own seat (“Lounge Chair”, by Gastone Rinaldi, designed for RIMA, mfg. 1950) to the function despite the repeated protestations of my close friends

An atom age curved plywood chair with metal tube construction. The warm plywood tone on the armrests is matched perfectly to the honeyed leather upholstery. Brass rivets in the armrests delight, and a charming strip of diamond stitching travels up the center of the backrest.

A close-up photo of the armrest, showing the lamination of the curved plywood and a beautiful grain pattern. Slightly offset from the edges, the armrest is wrapped in that light brown honey leather, with smart stitching around the edges, and brushed brass rivets adhering it to the metal tube arms of the chair.

did a thousand miles of motorcycle touring in southern colorado and new mexico this weekend on a fifty year old bmw and unfortunately it has healed my spirit and my aura now overflows, improving the mood of those around me

The author and another rider sat on large touring motorcycles, viewed from the back. They ride down a classic american highway through the desert towards a far distant mountain range.

my friend told me about the letters between herman melville and nathaniel hawthorne and i haven’t stopped thinking about it www.melville.org/letter7.htm#...

Text reads:

Your heart beat in my ribs and mine in yours, and both in God’s… It is a strange feeling — no hopefulness is in it, no despair. Content — that is it; and irresponsibility; but without licentious inclination. I speak now of my profoundest sense of being, not of an incidental feeling.

Whence come you, Hawthorne? By what right do you drink from my flagon of life? And when I put it to my lips — lo, they are yours and not mine. I feel that the Godhead is broken up like the bread at the Supper, and that we are the pieces.

we have a #bike-curious channel in the discord that admittedly is 98% just me going “ok now look at this bike” anyway now look at this bike

A vintage aluminum time trial bicycle frame, with cool aerodynamic tube shapes. The frame is painted black, and the downtube has the word "godspeed" in a cool retrofuturist kind of "digital" font. The O in godspeed is an actual metal cross. It's edgy as fuck for the late 1980s dude imagine rolling out on the cybergoth roadie.

here is a photograph of me and someone i'm in love with kissing at the edge of the world :)

A far-away shot of a rocky desert cliff jutting out into the center of the frame. Atop the cliff is a single tree, and a couple who appear to be spinning and kissing at the very edge. The cliff side is hundreds and hundreds of feet straight down. Far in the background, a desert valley of castle-shaped rocks and scrubby trees.

If I could attach our blood vessels so we could become each other I would. If I could attach our blood vessels in order to anchor you to the earth to this present time I would. David Wojnarowicz, "When I Put My Hands on Your Body" (1990)

Text superimposed on images of skeletons being unearthed reads "When I put my hands on your body on your flesh I feel the history of that body. Not just the beginning of its forming in that distant lake but all the way beyond its ending. I feel the warmth and texture and simultaneously I see the flesh unwrap from the layers of fat and disappear. I see the fat disappear from the muscle. I see the muscle disappearing from around the organs and detaching itself from the bones. I see the organs gradually fade into transparency leaving a gleaming skeleton gleaming like ivory that slowly resolves until it becomes dust. I am consumed in the sense of your weight, the way your flesh occupies momentary space the fullness of it beneath my palms. I am amazed at how perfectly your body fits to the curves of my hands. If I could attach our blood vessels so we could become each other I would. If I could attach our blood vessels in order to anchor you to the earth to this present time I would. If I could open up your body and slip inside your skin and look out your eyes and forever have my lips fused with yours I would. It makes me weep to feel the history of your flesh beneath my hands in a time of so much loss. It makes me weep to feel the movement of your flesh beneath my palms as you twist and turn over to one side to create a series of gestures to reach up around my neck to draw me nearer. All these memories will be lost in time like tears in the rain."
