So `details`/`summary` disclosures...

Do y'all need/want/like custom icons, or do you use them "stock" in your UIs?

"Citation needed" is absolutely the best response here!

Because you're right. This gets parroted A LOT, and I've yet to see any examples that stand up to scrutiny or time.

Right? "The markets will control that. Capitalism works with people's natural greed and corrects itself."

Yea, ok.

Nevermind that the notion humans are naturally *exclusively* greedy is a load of horseshit, anyways. You get what you incentivize.

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

If the argument against socialism or anarchy is that humans are too greedy and corrupt for it to work... why would centralizing power in the hands of a few greedy and corrupt people be BETTER than spreading it over the many?

Here here! ✊

It would also be cool if more folks recognized how inextricably linked the two are.

It's still astonishing to me that Zuck survived his ridiculous bet on the Metaverse. He changed the company's name FFS. No normal employee could fuck up as majorly as some of these "innovators" do.

Yo: .

“They are not coming for your abortion” said all the way up until the year before Roe fell.

And then “okay Roe fell, but you can’t convince me they are going to try and stop access to contraception or IVF

😑😑😑😑

You think we like being right about THIS?!

I’d rather be right about Powerball

That's very kind of you, Travis! Hope you're doing well. ❤️

Looks like you actually have the setup, though.

NGL, this is why I got into web dev in the first place. I like making things but suck at working with my hands, so... web dev it is!

Woodworking, but without the talent!

I've seen a few "thought leader" types in our space that I'd never expect to shill for AI going super hard for lately. It's extremely disappointing.

I'm sad that the posts you're replying to are blocked for me. There's a whole thread I missed while eating breakfast!

This. Biden was a bad President. Trump is *orders of magnitude worse*, but that's not the bar I think we should be holding presidents to.

Not ignoring it. Refuting it's accuracy.

Measures of economic performance are typically tied to "things rich people care about" and not things that actually affect the ants doing the work.

I’m not a “both parties are the same” type person.

I am a “votes for Democrats because the alternative is fashion, but both parties suck” kind of person

I hope you’re not trying to catch me saying the GOP is good. I would never do that.

But they do actually fight for things they their voters seem to care about. Evil things, like demonizing trans kids. Point is, they say they’ll do a thing, and then they do it.

This. Our economy was good on paper, using metrics that matter to people who are rich. It was not good for every day people.

The former led to the latter.

Democrats can’t win elections in large part because they lie and do nothing instead of addressing the actual needs of their voters.

I’m a Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeast superfan. Amazing show!

One of the best lines from it:

“Stop it, dad. You’re embarrassing you.”

Love the confidence!

A details/summary component with an arrowhead before the text. It points to the text when closed, and points down when open.

A details/summary component with icons before the text. There's a + symbol when the component is closed, and an X icon when it's open.

Curious if y'all like the +/x or rotating arrowhead better for details/summary component icons...

The ADHD/autistic experience is a nutshell.

They never acknowledge or admit you were right, either. The cycle just repeats with the next thing.

I block anyone who refuses to speak out against the genocide of Palestine or speaks favorably about Israel’s behavior. That’s a moral line in the sand, full stop.

Not for nothing, but why the FUCK would anyone donate to party who's only marketing point every year is "if you don't vote for us fascism will happen," and then we vote for them, and they do nothing to actually STOP fascism, so it happens anyways!?

I'll just keep my money, thanks.

Just added a new Tabs web component to Kelp!

Unlike nearly every other tabs web component you'll see in modern design systems, this one is actually functional before JS loads because it uses this cool new trick* called "progressive enhancement" 😂😂😂

*Not actually new

"A long way" is quite good, though a bit slow at times. I'm particularly fond of books 2 and 4, though I'd recommend you read them in order.

Just amazing! I can’t believe how bad season two was in comparison, especially with such an amazing cast.
