      If a person wants to get votes progressive and leftist votes for the democrat party nomination (or votes from them in general), you shouldn't have to beg that person to protect trans rights when bills come across their desk.

      Whatever you do, do NOT tell @kevinpowell.co or @miriam.codes about this slide during the @react.dev conf! Shhhh
      a speaker on a stage presenting, and their slide reads. "but who writes vanilla CSS these days?" with vanilla css written in tiffany blue, and the rest in white.

      I want to throw my phone on the floor. However I think I’ll just find some time to watch Tron: Legacy again

      I realize that Amazon is bad and Target is bad and Walmart is bad and they are all bad, and with that caveat, are there any actually good deals on anywhere this week?
