alanbsmith, to NWSL

I don’t understand why CBS doesn’t stream playoff matches on Paramount+. NWSL should renegotiate the next time the contracts are up. Sell the rights to Apple or ESPN.

alanbsmith,

@Possiblydrew “Watch all the matches* on Paramount+”

  • Except the ones you really care about. 🤬

What practical uses of container queries have you seen or created that aren't cards?

alanbsmith,

@5t3ph they’re handy for overflow menus.

⚽ @wwc 🇪🇸 🇳🇱

She's been at every match the Dutch have played.

alanbsmith,

@emarktaylor @wwc I'm the most sad for her. I feel the world deserves an interview.

⚽ @wwc 🇳🇱 🇿🇦

And the shot goes straight through Swart and it is NED 2-0.

@OgieOgilthorpe @emarktaylor If you have Twitter, here’s the Fox Soccer tweet for that goal.

Over at @OddBird, we launched a color contrast checker for working with new color formats like oklch, display-p3, and so on:

https://www.oddcontrast.com/

What other features would you want from a tool like this? We're interested in feedback and ideas.

alanbsmith,

@mia @OddBird Love this! Especially love seeing all the AA and AAA checks at once. Nice work!

Two (potential) feature requests: I often need to share contrast ratios with others. I’ve seen other contrast tools put the values in the url. https://colorable.jxnblk.com/ffa8c1/002b77

And copy to clipboard buttons are always handy for sharing as well.

We’re in Rhodes and have been evacuated due to the wildfires.

We’re safe in a hotel which has been turned into a temporary refuge.

By all accounts, 30,000+ tourists and locals have been displaced in the last 24 hours and let me tell you, it’s been fucken scary.

We went from our hotel being turned into a refuge to jumping on the back of a dump truck in the middle of the night, to walking for hours in pitch black to finally getting picked up by a coach to take us to where we are now.

The view from near our hotel this morning. Thick plumes of smoke over an otherwise perfect sunny day
A poorly lit photo of the wildfires as seen from outside our hotel room, just before evacuation. The fire was around 1.5km from us as the time and was completely out of control
A shot early in the evening which I told my partner “it might just be a sunset”. Turns out it’s massive fucken flames

alanbsmith,

@andy glad you’re safe, mate.

So, Internet, I'll ask you. A common question when I was on Reddit discussing soccer matches. What are you drinking while you watch? I've got a nice Ginger Beer.

alanbsmith,

@trick Bourbon, because I believe in the American spirit. 🥃 🇺🇸 😂
