Splendidly efficient letter to the editor of the Washington Post criticizing their ruinously misdirected Trump coverage. Pass it on.

Shiny objects outshining a national shiner

This month, former president Donald Trump appeared at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Gripping the lectern tightly, sweating profusely, with his pupils dilated, Trump told the crowd that if President Biden were reelected, their state would cease to exist.

He mentioned that he could be spending his Saturday afternoon doing something else.
(It was Friday night.)

He crowed about leading his opponent Barack Obama in the polls.

He slurred his words frequently as he veered off his prepared text and back again.

Not a single word about this appalling spectacle by a presidential candidate was published in The Post.

Why?

It seems like a big deal.

Unfortunately, during the rump era, the media, including The Post, conflated what is with what is .

Though it might not be new that Trump acts publicly in ways that would make him in any other career field, it's extremely important given that he could soon be our commander in chief again.

Editors and reporters need to decide
what their mission is:

Is it to focus on what is and shiny,
or is it to concentrate on what's ?

Im sorry to share this here, in such a nice, friendly space. But it's that we get more studies on this. Why? Because after a period is wrong now.

Nested at-scope rules are interesting.

ppk,
@ppk@front-end.social avatar

@mia Hmm, the plot thickens. You're right up to a point. This works:

div#important {
@scope (&) {
& p {
color: blue;
}
}
}

But this doesn't:

div#important {
@scope () {
& p {
color: blue;
}
}
}

AFAICS the second should work - right?

mia,
@mia@front-end.social avatar

@ppk No, the scope is a nested relative selector. like any other nested selector, it assumes a descendent relationship to the parent selector if you don't place an explicit &.

So that's being treated as though you wrote:

@scope (& #important) { … }

you're creating a descendant scope, if you nest another important div. The browser doesn't know you mean "that same one" unless you use the ampersand.

ppk,
@ppk@front-end.social avatar

@mia Ah! Right! Of course!

For some reason I didn't see the as a selector - but it is.

What #MittRomney Saw In The #Senate

In an exclusive excerpt from my forthcoming biography of the senator, #Romney:

A Reckoning, he reveals what drove him to #retire.

By McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

…January 2, 2021…
It begins with a text message from #AngusKing, the junior senator from Maine: “Could you give me a call when you get a chance? #Important.”

I have found myself about the small, things that are more than -altering, but complaining about the big, things that are life-altering is either pointless or too much trouble when you're just struggling to get through the day.

One piece of advice I regularly give to fellow freelancers (or anyone who receives work calls): have a separate phone for work and switch it off outside of 9-5 Mon-Fri. Your mental health will thank you. And yes, it needs to be a separate phone so you can totally switch it off, not some app that 'silences' work calls on your personal phone.

ryedai,

@pwaring 100% this.
Time is the only able good anyways.

I'm always amazed at ppl beijng ..

That is reserved for very ones.
