I see the Shopify guy has ginned up some homo-hate on the other site w his post about a a Toronto safe streets ad that used w two ostensibly gay dads walking their child. What a fucking hateful destructive menace. Just enjoy your money asshole.

The time is nigh. All out to save our bike lanes! We anticipate removals staring this coming Tuesday. Stay tuned here for details on community responses. Location is of course Bloor West between Islington and Royal York. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

In lieu of enforcing traffic laws on drivers of wanktanks running red lights & driving 20km/hr over the speed limit, Toronto cops are ticketing people on bikeshare e-bikes the City of Toronto encourages helmetless riding on by the very nature of the service bikeshare provides. @mayoroliviachow.ca

The Doug Ford government has yanked an essential portion of funding for Spacing Magazine (and other important Ontario publications). This puts both the magazine and the @spacingradio.bsky.social podcasts in jeopardy: the magazine pays for the podcast.

Ontario Conservatives are pushing an expansion of Billy Bishop airport against Torontonians wishes while Liberal Members of Parliament remain silent. Instead of answering why, the Minister mocked me for asking! (I am the NDP critic for Transport & the Minister knows this). @ontariondp.bsky.social

The so-called survey about the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport is full of leading questions, it makes you really wonder if the fix is in to give Doug Ford what he wants. It sometimes seems that Mark Carney’s strategy is to give everyone everything they want. open.substack.com/pub/lloydalt...

this is so cool

TCAF haul from @rosenafung.bsky.social @mattbors.bsky.social et al. Some for the kiddo, some for me.

Mark Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority government through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.

I wrote about configuring Tangled.org CI to deploy to Cloudflare Workers. It turns out to be very easy, but I couldn't find any other resource about this. Baby steps away from GitHub. (I'm also sporting a snazzy standard.site embed card 💅)

We've shared a few things to help you get away from big tech over time but this specific event (and the resources) looks great. di.day/en

Given that a big part of the role of the RCMP throughout history has been removing Indigenous peoples from their lands and culture, it’s not surprising the federal government is hiring more RCMP just as they plan to ramp up resource extraction on Indigenous lands.

OSS burnout claims another project. On 2 Apr, an entitled user angrily asked the burned-out maintainer of nvim-treesitter to “go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people”. The maintainer replied “OK” — and archived the repo, stopping development of nvim-treesitter.

Varsho hitting a 10th inning grand slam is what a needed to see today

Every Layout is a collection of composable CSS layout patterns. Here's how I extract them into a reusable pattern library I can use in any project. Hat tip @bell.bz

If only Bezos cared about journalism the way he cares about sci-fi television

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I can’t say enough good things about the JavaScript for Everyone course, Every Layout and the articles and newsletter published by Piccalilli. If you’re looking to explore the exciting world of front-end, these are dollars very well spent.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

Doug Ford's attack on renters, Bill 60, is going to a vote this morning. Take action now and tell your MPP: Defend renters and vote NO on Bill 60. 👉 StopBill60.ca

I need to tell you what's happening right now.

A quick tip for folks using Pundit with Phlex views.

Just wrote my first record to my ATProto PDS 😍

GOODNIGHT, SEATTLE!

This is it. 86,791 words. 836 emdashes. 625 `const`, 141 `let`, 16 `var`. One (1) reference to the pause music from Battletoads for the NES. Spread the word: JavaScript for Everyone launches tomorrow.

After a redesign of my personal website, I share some thoughts on the unexpected benefits and surprising lessons of vanilla CSS

I can't stress enough how important it is to make an example here. Take all the money from these companies. Find alternatives. Vote with your pockets because fundamentally money and power is everything to these insufferable pricks.

🚨Survey on the boat excursion zone. Please fill it out. Some boaters have been upset & threatened to disrupt Hanlans beach (speed camera vigilantes but on water). We need more fortified & larger swim zones like in the EU w ropes/floats to keep boats & jet skis away from swimmers. 🚨

THE STRIKE CONTINUES!
