My @tailwindcss talk from @DrupalConEur is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYY1teFZ_Fk …
I talk about why we tried utility-first CSS at @ctidigitalUK, some common concerns, a detour to cover the importance of good templating when working with utilities, and finishing on the benefits we’ve seen.
Concerns about outdoor transmission risk seem to be trending again. What is the risk of transmission outdoors and should we be more worried about outdoors with the new more-transmissible variant? 🧵(1/n)

#webperf tip of the day. Make sure you have the correct cache-control headers on your favicon.ico so your CDN can cache it correctly.
This missing header caused 370,000 http://GOV.UK origin requests on Monday in the huge spike (now fixed).

This is beyond my comprehension. For four fucking years we’ve listened to these cretinous buffoons in government bang on about taking control of our borders.

(e.g. exporting fish; exporting mechanical goods)

This is a site I’ve used a few times to get bike parts, but they no longer ship to the UK because of our govt introducing pretty unique tax changes where retailers must pay VAT directly to HMRC, no matter where in the world they are based… 😠 Less red tape after Brexit, right?… https://twitter.com/uk_domain_names/status/1345149939064713217 …
The internet is a cool place where you can watch peer-reviewed trials get dismissed as bullshit and an account set up on Tuesday say “I’m a nurse and all the hospitals are empty covid isn’t real” accompanied with a screengrab of holby city get 5,000 retweets
once again shocked that the exponential spread of an airborne disease wasn’t stopped by a “no drinking unless you eat a egg” policy
