My heart is shattered. This furry child filled my every day with so much joy. I do not know how I am going to cope without him.

Rest in peace beautiful boy - Kuiper

#cssChallenge2025 You have a `section` with a `p` on the left & an `img` on the right. How do you make the `img` height always be determined by the `p` with the tiniest bit of CSS? 😼

No changing the HTML structure in any way, no pseudos, no background declarations, no JS. Just a tiny bit of #CSS.

The government have published an annual report on diversity and inclusion in Jersey. Whilst it’s a relatively low-key article, I welcome the publication of these kinds of reports, just to keep people transparent and accountable!

The report highlights better accessible parking as well more opportunities in education and work.

Heyo! Just realized that overflow-block and overflow-inline is Baseline newly available as of Chrome 135 and Safari 26. Been in Firefox for quite some time. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... #css

overflow-block - CSS | MDN

The overflow-block CSS property sets what shows when content overflows the block start and block end edges of a box. This may be nothing, a scroll bar, or the overflow content.

Get the value of a CSS custom property from an element in JavaScript: getComputedStyle($0).getPropertyValue("--custom-prop");

$0 is the item currently highlighted in devtools in this case. How do you go about getting such a value?

And yes, there is a setProperty(property, value, ?priority);

I do not know who needs to hear this but.. sometimes the things that happen in life are just fucked up. You do not need to make sense of it, learn something from it, or for it to be part of some plan. Sometimes... it is just fucked up and pointless.
