Just updated the #madeina2 site for the first time in awhile. We gained @sassafrastech@twitter.com and @TreetownT@twitter.com.
Responsive images aren't ready yet but I don't care right now, got them working and it's mostly config now thanks to @aimeegamble@twitter.com's @eleven_ty@twitter.com work so I'll just leave them for later. Also #edc is useful in an era when you don't leave the house, right? https://jshwlkr.info/posts/2020/edc-2020/

if you're currently trying to get yourself responsive images in @eleven_ty@twitter.com automatically I'd heartily recommend https://github.com/aimee-gm/responsive

Also, a big thank you to Third Man Records and Jack White for The Pathetx - 1981 https://thirdmanrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-pathetx-1981
Just a reminder that this album exists and it's a crime that Death isn't a household name, especially in Detroit. https://deathfromdetroit.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-whole-world-to-see
https://algierstheband.bandcamp.com/track/the-underside-of-power #NowPlaying #MusicMonday Darlings of southern gothic post-punk, critically underrated. (And maybe incredibly relevant at the moment.)

I think Bell's contrast with the Charlottesville layout is notable. https://kottke.org/20/06/fixing-racial-bias-in-journalism
