Creating reusable components ("blocks") for a static site generator like Eleventy isn't immediately easy like for commercial CMSes like WordPress.

Let's lower that bar.

How about single-file components that store the data model, markup, CMS config, and even JS and CSS?

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I’m 90% sure I’m on Mastodon but I don’t even know how to find myself let alone you.

Remember when Jay and Silent Bob went around beating up kids for shit they said online? We should get back to that.

I got a physical copy of Assorted Crisis Events by @denizcamp.bsky.social to share with the less screen-inclined in my life.

I have read a lot of comic books in my life. I think this is the best one.

I don’t know if I can explain why. I feel seen by it. I guess.

New from 404 Media: Google removed an ICE-spotting app too. Called Red Dot, an immigration support group on the ground in Chicago told me it was using it. Google now removed, just like Apple did with ICEBlock after DOJ pressure. Google calls ICE vulnerable group

Google Calls ICE Agents a Vulnerable Group, Removes ICE-Spotting App ‘Red Dot’

The move comes as Apple removed ICEBlock after direct pressure from U.S. Department of Justice officials and signals a broader crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

First they came for my em-dashes and I said nothing because I didn't want to sound like a punctuation dork.

AI has a purple problem

Why does every website look like this? Where did this come from? Is Tailwind to blame?

I went to the sloppiest and purplest corners of the web to find out

My site was purple BEFORE and it will be purple AFTER because I don't REDESIGN IT THAT OFTEN.

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

If they're going to do a fascism and censor speech make them do it big and loud where everyone can see. Blocking a website would be a huge step to take.

Michael @mwdelaney.me · 5d

If they'd just block the site, then make the site and make them block it.

Michael @mwdelaney.me · 5d

Yeah but make them do it.
