Thanks to Riya for making the info graphics.
CSS tip: if you think you want "overflow: scroll", you probably actually want "overflow: auto". The former displays scrollbars even if they aren't needed!
I hadn't spotted this before because macOS apparently hides those unnecessary scrollbars for you...

"Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." - Marx
Marx is so often overabbreviated and thus misunderstood. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_of_the_people

The right has long held that homelessness is a symptom - of a lack of self-control, a lack of foresight, of addiction, mental illness, etc - and therefore the solution to it is training, incarceration, rehab, or rigid discipline.
None of this stuff worked.

It's been heartening to come across so many #blacklivesmatter banners across documentation sites for web development tools. A huge number of developers will be hitting these sites countless times daily to look things up during work — I've been one of them!
To highlight a few:

Last (but not least!), Netlify are matching donations up to $25,000 to a number of orgs: https://www.netlify.com/donation-matching/

2020 and browsers still cannot reliably resume paused or failed downloads
I love this. I think it solves the problem of #bookmarks for me. Links to handy tools can live in my knowledge base, and links to blogs that I don't want to forget about can go in here, surfaced in my browser start page every so often.
can't say I've ever worked with a compiled language before, but the Elm compiler looks super duper friendly

People that take the Glasgow-Edinburgh train have developed this anarcho-communist ticket sharing economy and I love it. It's because return tickets cost literally only 10 pence more than a single, so people just buy returns and leave the other ticket at the station they arrive at.
It's fucking beautiful and more folk need tae know about it
