Hot take! The bike lane isn't about "not being a car," nor simply having pedals. If you're not generating your forward momentum, you shouldn't get to use the lane.

Disclosing, I ride an e-bike. It has no throttle. I consider that a Gorilla Glass house from which to cast stones.

@DougJBalloon I'm surprised you were able to work all of Culture Club's many hits into one tweet.

@MusicalChaotic Anyone who would hurl rolls of pennies at you for playing the bassoon is not your friend.

Half a year(ish) ago I started quietly blogging about frontend dev(ish) topics. I didn't say anything because I wanted to see if I'd stick with it.

I have(ish), so sharing. Less hard-hitting technical stuff and more web dev campfire stories.

@DougJBalloon Have Covid variants already become cheugy?

I'm wary of ideas existing in the space between awesome and dumbshit, especially when the "awesome" part makes illogically logical sense.

Opinion(?!) warning:

Friendly reminder it's called an interrobang. The question mark comes first.

For any itchy itcher itching phantom itches itching for '90s shoegaze ... I've been digging Slow Joy somethin' fierce.

@BillCorbett Sorry Bill, there was a mix-up and you'll have to do both. Running back and forth between the 2 venues. Switching hats. Hijinks will ensue

Hey, music supervisors!

Asking that for all your stock emotional classical piano jam poignant yet not poignant because stock-emotional-classical-piano-jam moments ... please coucher du soleil Clair de Lune.

Thx.

Anyone else numbed blind to that whole "by X for X" marketing formula?

By developers for developers.

By musicians for musicians.

By cynical eye rollers who smell remedial tactics for cynical eye rollers who smell remedial tactics.

... though I might bite on that last one.

@helen I suppose I'm the only one who thought #9 was a typo for Claude Akins.

Sometimes, when the world's full of frenemies and I need a chortle, I imagine custody battles between portmanteaux parts.

Smoke and fog both shrieking, "Give me back my 'O'!"

That disputed second "L" in chillax.

And bromance? Dubious, brother.
