MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

I like @lit.dev. I like signals. I like Redux. So, I created a library that combines all of these things together.

Refrakt is like Redux, but for tc39 signals: www.npmjs.com/package/refr...

Fellow #Firefox enjoyers, there's a weird macOS bug where your old crappy untended garden of bookmarks might hang the browser when you open spotlight:

bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi...

The workaround is to delete all those bookmarks from 2014.

Four-panel SMBC comic update where a woman is talking to God, asking where there isn't more intelligent life in the universe. God responds that there isn't supposed to be, and that by coincidence self replicators appeared and then developed the ability to suffer and now He's stuck with it. God asks the woman what she would do if worm civilization suddenly sprung from an old noodle dish in the sink, and she says that she would probably forget about it and destroy it accidentally while washing her hands, which God appreciates.
