Quality 'Welsh Methodist sermon' from @huwbbc on what many English people don't get about Welsh politics.
Particularly when you still hear a lot of people in England today saying, 'I don't know why people still speak Welsh! Get rid of it.'

- This is crazy! A HTML attribute I proposed to the @WHATWG 7 years ago, and again 2 years later, is now being implemented and supported in Chrome. 😱Native <img> lazy-loading is coming to the web! bit.ly/loading-attrib… <img loading=lazy> defers offscreen images until the user scrolls near them. Shipping in Chrome ~75 bit.ly/loading-i2s
- We currently have an interesting bug on the BBC website where some users have a viewport that is, for example, 599.5px wide. So: @-media (max-width: 599px) {} @-media (min-width: 600px) {} These users get no styles from either media query. I'm about to work on a fix.
00:00- Something I've been quietly pushing for in CSS is mesh gradients (or 2D gradients). At @CSSDayConf, I really appreciated advice from CSSWG folk about my proposal. Do you have a use case for mesh gradients? If so, please share! It would be very helpful! github.com/w3c/csswg-draf…
- It's a juicy UK election night and it's nice to see that the Exit Poll is appearing on the BBC homepage! Easy do when the Exit Poll component is part of our design system!
- We recently did some work to reduce the amount of core colours that we have in the design system. We've learnt sometimes it's best to keep things simple rather than give people lots of choice and customisation.
- A couple of days ago, I proposed a function for generating mesh or freeform gradients to the @csswg. It would be great to have your thumbs up or any helpful comments on the issue. github.com/w3c/csswg-draf…
- Replying to @RhianLlewelynYes! Bilingualism opens your eyes not just to how to speak another language, but about another country's culture! Because that culture is written into the language!
- Replying to @JoshTumathNice! With a reduced test case in a CodePen, I was able to see the proposed fix will definitely work! codepen.io/joshtumath/pen… Thank you to @XiaoZhuoJia for the tip: miragecraft.com/blog/polyfill-…
- I got some new laptop stickers yesterday. Very on brand.
- I'm very very happy and excited to say that I'll be starting a permanent role as a software developer in the BBC Children's websites team in mid-August!
