Sickening footage from Nuneaton tonight, where a Sky News interview with a local businessman was disrupted by racists hurling abuse. Another local said, "Warwickshire Council Council has gone to Reform... It's given certain people a licence to be aggressive and racist."
I assume some liability thing, but did skynews pass it on to the police ?
This is deeply upsetting tbh
I have been enjoying donkey Kong just to smash stuff up. But I need to get back to ghost of tsushima dlc before the new game.
🧵 Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims (see thread). As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk
You mean the climate the MEDIA have been egging on?
I believe the Whitehouse has said he playing golf today.
Yep this is the dark timeline, he still got time to make it worse.
He can only continue. Be interesting if they did the odds for who be PM in a year.
It is a list for the next prime minister, he can't be the next one.
Rumors that trump dead or missing seem to be all over the Internet. - he has no planned appearance this weekend. - Vance made weird comment about being ready to be president. - something about pizza trackers at peaking at that area meaning staff being made to work out of hours. I doubt it true

Actually jaw dropping from James McMurdock MP, even by his standards. We cannot become numb to this. The far right are in Parliament, and they're trying to normalise outright, vicious racism (same goes for the likes of Rupert Lowe too)
In fact the judgment does not turn on the ECHR (according to the summary)
Here he goes.
Yeah I stopped looking there tbh. I might set up a blog roll on my sites with blogs I like that give good content.
Skynews political team seems to think it is the UK public. Like they become that dependent on click bait they focus on twitter.
I’m going to blow your minds (sarcasm) right now. The reason people are scared of migrants and trans people is not because migrants and trans people are actually terrifying threats. It is because people are suspicious of difference, and because that’s suspicion is easily weaponized by the right.
Must be accidentally banksy.
Accidentally banksy.
Does sum up the flag thing though completely.
I wonder if we can get cumulative layout shift in 2026 interop, currently only INP and LCP were in 2025. github.com/web-platform...
Where the BBC doesn't profit from clicks I wouldn't be surprised if it was a metric still on 'good content'
Honestly think the media wants mores riots and create click bait at this point.
Looking at the picture used I genuinely think I seen his name down more than actual pictures or clips of him. Maybe I confused him with someone else.
hate to be a this guy, but this
The amount of Reddit web Dev articles I instantly close now because straight away it reads like ai.
It is, I tried loads of stuff as I like to mess around with stuff like this and I guess that never popped in my head or just never tried it fully.
Omg why have I never thought of that 😭
These are the rights we all enjoy that Reform want to scrap
Reform Zia's Yusuf says a Farage Government would rip up protections against human rights abuses, torture and trafficking, in order to deport more migrants. Remember that these protections apply to everyone living in the UK. Once they're gone, they're gone for all of us
Fun quiz for CSS fanatics out there 🤓 Give Sunkanmi a follow too 👍
Like avengers which the main story started pretty well, (you could see the quality drop where they change the idea to multi player game) after main story and dlc all trash.
Or just a game update, or later season. It like saying you put 100s days in Duolingo and can't put negative review after they made the course worse.
Should the link to the GitHub in the first paragraph be working? Or is it still in progress.
I bet she calls herself an "expat". ~AA
Hola again Leeds. Twice in one month 😅
Want to build faster websites? Here's how: - Learn how browsers parse, layout & paint - Treat JS as a tool, not the foundation(!) - Favor static HTML or server side rendering at all times - Use Core Web Vitals alongside other metrics to learn shortfalls, improve and iterate Then keep doing that.
I'm blocked by her directly.
Poor Vladimir Putin, forced to invade Ukraine fully by that vicious Joe Biden /s
There was a devastating fire in Clacton last night. Three businesses destroyed. Thought I’d check to see if FauxRage has mentioned it. He’s tweeted once about it, but it’s buried in amongst 10 tweets about that fucking Reform Football Shirt. Shows where his priorities lie. #ClactonFire
🤳 Over the weekend, I did some research. What are good, representative, real-world devices for performance testing in 2025? csswizardry.com/2025/08/low-...
Changing rooms by height might take up a lot of space, so not sure if that is viable.

Yeah that not true, after the ? Is called a query string, they often used to share state in the URL, often used for search results or video timestamps so you can share it.
I had it where it open a thread with another 5 posts, so they just broken.
Isn't that just the entire station. Pure sewage.
I thought GB news had only one bathroom ?
Element.moveBefore also brings connectedMoveCallback() - "connectedMoveCallback(): When defined, this is called instead of connectedCallback() and disconnectedCallback() each time the element is moved to a different place in the DOM via Element.moveBefore()." - developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
Yeah definitely understand that, I am out and about at the moment so it was just a skim read, and give it a proper read in the morning.
Sweet, seems like an amazing article and I always love your interactive parts, I need to look at adding more interactive elements to mine. This checkbox is hard to click aswell at times.
✨ New Interactive Article ✨ 📝 Better CSS layouts: Time Hero Section I wrote an interactive article on how I reimagined Time's hero section. I explored using CSS grid, container queries, :has, and more. Happy reading! 🔗 ishadeed.com/article/time...
Are they potentially disabled after click and it got a set time out on ?
Hmm it's really odd on mobile I got to slide 3 and clicking next did nothing for ages and had to click multiple times. Not sure if it is the clicking spacing or size of it on a touch mobile using chrome.
The moment I saw that "trans bra" M & S story I sensed it was nonsense. Seconds later, having read the Telegraph piece I knew it was worse than that. It was deliberate hate mongering completely devoid of evidence, names and facts. Superb job of debunking it here www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/06/m...
I feel like this is the third or fourth time they called for a boycott of m&s and this time it was basically made up nonsense.
They must be getting a lot of emails about this as they have a reply template specifically for this
This can happen to any minority, they use stuff like this to divide others.
Nice. Your content is always great, and one of the first places I look when I need something.
The weirdest thing being in the office was doing stand up without my standing desk. Sitting down in meetings doesn't feel right now.
though funny, i think this is actually one of the clearest depictions of the fundamental flaw of all llms: they are never going to do the work necessary to find the right answer when it's cheaper and more expedient to guess. if gpt verified answers, it alone would consume as much energy as spain

Hola Leeds, back for a few days.
Seeing the same posts you liked from 3 weeks ago.
We're at the 'we're very sorry we hired a trans person' stage in the UK's systematic erasure of trans people.
I would be interested on the bundle size of react and nextjs, whether we should remove legacy polyfills ect.
happy thursday enjoy jinkx monsoon dragging jk rowling to the depths of hell and back
Sorry, bad news. This confirms Phillipson as a card carrying TERF too then. And Stephenson was flagged for being weak on race and disability too. For a minister to ignore the Women’s And EQUALITY committees advice here is disgraceful. I’m off to my bereavement support group for a good cry.
Nah he wouldn't need to do that tbh, flowers would be on the way for harming women as long as they fit her image of women.
Call me old fashioned, but I think that sharing a racist joke with colleagues, when it affects your professional conduct ought to something you can be sacked for.
People being bigotry at work apparently:
The site is so janky as well, I expect it has accessibility issues considering I struggled to use it when they announced it.
The first reported effects of the bill was the de-listing of LGBTQ+ resources from the Reddit search. Not only are they trying to stop queer kids from growing up, they’re doing it in the name of our “safety”. The subtext is that trans kids don’t get murdered for being trans if they’re cis.
Yeah this is what I am expecting it tries to do what the browser does on build and it not had the element before so it thinks it rouge and moves it outside the element to it parent.
Cheers I mainly done the css parts recently of select.
Without the is:raw after build is the element outside the place it should be, potentially on build it validating the DOM like if a button is in the head it immediately ends the head and everything is body. Will have a mess tomorrow.
That's good to know, I thought I tested it on my website but give it another check.
Is it a type issue on build ?
Didn't realize you could wrap the view-transition in media query, I been setting animation to none in that separately.
It amazing, got it for my birthday, didn't expect to smashing things to be enjoyable.
Everyone's mobile phone location history after expecting people to give random companies our ID to check we are above 18: m.youtube.com/watch?v=V150...
The governments new bill seems- accidentally, I’m sure- to have made a huge amount of LGBT content, forums etc automatically “adult content” meaning you can’t use it without sharing your actual biometric data. Can we see the issue here or shall I go on?
Waiting for someone asking do they just run NPM I browser-apis
Don't make me point at the sign.
Headline now says temporary, but why even announce it like this, I read the url a few times before I realized it was the name.
Thanks for the shout-out! And you're right... the neurobehavioral studies are from a while back, but the results would probably be about the same today, because brains don't change much. .There are lots more current business case studies here: wpostats.com
I'm really enjoying it, the bit about concentrating 50% more on slower sites is interesting, I expect that could lead to them starting to question themselves on progression.
I hadn't actually seen it before until I saw someone post about it. I'm good at the technical /investigation side, and can guess how a user would respond so I thought this might help bridge a gap I need.
Got a new book on the business side of web performance by @tammyeverts.com. Studies are from awhile ago, but still interesting to read, and newer studies probably find similar things.
Congrats 🎉🎉
People's trust in AI is incredible, the most I use it for is to help me create skeleton structure for articles as I always struggled with that, but not write content for me.
Don't they literally ship polyfills for older browsers like IE
Wait is it April's fools again or is this some isolated error ?
I tend to use the light dom when it comes to web components and that to add extra functionality like image with dialog lightbox for bigger versions or exclusive accordions before the name attribute. Obviously parts of the site might not work with no js like if client side fetching user data ect.
I wouldn't say progressive enhancement is the lack of JavaScript, it the lack of features on browsers. Fetch priority is an example where you could use it on chrome with no impact on Firefox / safari and when they added support they gained the benefits.
