Of employers who forced staff back to the office, 42% said "attrition" was higher than normal, 21% said the move had actually lost them some of their "key" staff. 29% were now "struggling" to recruit altogether. Ha ha ha. https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/29/wfh_rto_survey/

I never know what to do when adding subheading titles to an article.
<h1>Stuart's Food Guide</h1>
<h2>or, Pies I Have Known</h2>
<h3>by Stuart</h3>

but then what do I use for titles for each of the sections? <h1>? <h2>? <h3>? maybe <h4>?

Anyway, now I do know, because @SteveFaulkner has written https://www.tpgi.com/subheadings-subtitles-alternative-titles-and-taglines-in-html/ which Explains All This and it's good.

Short answer:
<hgroup>
<h1>Stuart's Food Guide</h1>
<p>or, Pies I Have Known</p>
<p>by Stuart</p>
</hgroup>

<h2>Section 1: Meat</h2>

OMG an actual implementation of what is essentially font-size: fit-container! @kizu has https://kizu.dev/fit-to-width-text/ -- relies on CSS animation-timeline which is Blink-only right now (are there statements of support or not from Moz or Webkit anywhere?), and it's essentially a hack (but Roman explicitly says it'd be good to see this properly supported, which I like because I've wanted it for years). Clever bit of work! I still don't properly understand it, but it's great. /via @brucelawson

Seems like the Kremlin lied (I know, shocking, right?!?) when they said, "What, us? Blow up that dam? No, never!". A drone got a photo of a car full of explosives on the top of the dam. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/19/kakhovka-dam-collapse-image-apparently-explosive-laden-car-ukraine-russia

Can I use robots.txt to tell Open AI and its mates that my content isn't for scraping?

When Russia started bombing Kyiv, Zelenskiyy quickly made a video showing he was still in the capital. So we can expect strongman Putin will imminently do the same, right?

It was blazing hot and my tits started itching, which is a sure sign of incoming rain. Mrs L scoffed at my meteorological mamms, but sure enough, the skies have darkened, the temperature dropped, and there is a rumble of thunder in the distance.

I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the Tory party are an inept bunch of immoral chancers who would ride roughshod over Parliamant and our own laws (the Parliament and laws they claim to see as 'sovereign'), lie and cheat just to stay in power.

Happy Solstice from the ancient chalk horse and me! (Stonehenge is just too touristy for me to properly align my chakras with the Age of Aquarius these days.) Boomshanka!

random question, as i'm too lazy to research this properly ... but are there any nice bikes out there with the same design as these Eovolt ones (step-through, cargo bit over the backwheel) that are not electric? /cc @pete

Oh geeat, Word's grammar check doesn't recognize a subjunctive.

I just watched John Wick 4. Its high-octane story of glamorous people with ever-shifting allegiances, fighting over arcane rules across exotic locations really made me nostalgic for my days when I was immersed in web standards.

I just saw Michael J Fox at my local garden centre! At first I wasn't sure, but he had his back to the fuchsias.

The recreationally-outraged denizens of GB News are wetting their pants about the CEO of Wickes saying he doesn't want transphobes in his shops, and talking of boycotting Wickes in favour of B&Q. So I've told them that B&Q stands for "Bumsex and Quorn".

I'm out with mates and our daughters for Skathers Day. The DJ has complimented me on my outfit. "You were here last year, and now your outfit is even better."
