Using CSS mask-image you can truncate texts with a smooth fade effect. It looks clean and it's a great alternative to text ellipsis. .text-container { overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient( to right, black 50%, transparent); mask-image: linear-gradient( to right, black 50%, transparent); } } If you found this one useful, follow for more! ❤️

Future CSS Tip! 🍏 You can combine scroll-driven animations with background-clip to create gradient text reveals 😍 p { animation-name: move-bg, fade-in; animation-fill-mode: both; animation-timing-function: linear; animation-timeline: scroll(root); animation-range: 0 100vh, 40vh 100vh; } /* Multiple animations with shared timeline and different ranges 👀 */ keyframes move-bg { to { background-position: 50% 100%; } } keyframes fade-in { 0% { opacity: 0; } } The trick here is creating a large background with a radial gradient and using background-clip: text on the element with color: transparent ✨ p { background: radial-gradient(50% 100% at 50% 100%, hsl(var(--accent, 10) 90% 95%), hsl(var(--accent, 10) 90% 50%), transparent 50%); background-size: 400% 600%; -webkit-background-clip: text; background-position: 50% 0; } Then we animate the background-position to reveal the colorful part that reveal the text 😎 Another #AppleEvent related scrolling demo coming tomorrow 😅 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

Future CSS Tip! 🔮 You can create responsive animated text reveals with CSS scroll-driven animations 🔥 section { /* The red element in the video */ view-timeline-name: --section; } p { animation: fill both linear; animation-timeline: --section; animation-range: cover; } keyframes fill { to { --fill: 1; } } No JavaScript required with this trick 😎 What's happening there then? Well, we're animating a custom property value using @ property. @ property --fill { initial-value: 0; syntax: ' '; inherits: true; } Then the trick is background clipping the text and filling it with a multiline background by animating the background-position to fill the text 🤓 span { background-position-x: calc(-100vmax + (var(--progress) * 100vmax)); background-clip: text; color: transparent; } CodePen.IO link below 👇

Friends our Gospel for the Second Sunday of Lent this year is Luke’s account of the Transfiguration. And it opens up something that is marvelous and confounding; there is sort of an aching and a longing associated with this text. It speaks to us of these moments when reality becomes incandescent or transparent to something more—something that lies beyond our ordinary experience.

CSS Tip! ⭐️ You can use the lh (line-height) unit on background layers to emphasize multiple lines of text responsively without extra elements! ⚡️ h1 { background: linear-gradient(white, white), grey; background-size: 100% calc(var(--lines) * 1lh), 100% 100%; background-clip: text; color: transparent; } Here you emphasize the first two lines of the heading with white using a sized background-image layer It has a size of 2lh ✨ Then the rest of the element is colored with whatever other colors you want to use as layers. If you watch the video, you can see different colors used for different lines and then fade it out if you wish. You could do whatever you like with it 😎 Neat part is that it's responsive. The font-size is set with a clamp and you can resize the viewport or the element and the number of lines emphasized will remain 🤙 Last but not least, make sure to use background-clip: text and color: transparent so the background shines through 🔥 Also, note that if you're only looking to highlight the first line, you can still use the :first-line pseudo 🫶 Have a play with it and see what you can come up with!

🇮🇷🇺🇳| Iranian FM, Araghchi, held an interview with IRIB on the recent Iran-IAEA memorandum. Won’t cover translations as there’s nothing new as previously reported. However, to a question why the IAEA is reporting the agreement differently than our account, he replies that they may report it differently, but the text inside the agreement is there and it won’t change that (ok?). I want to assert here that this the exact same thing they said about the 2015 JCPOA deal, will it be any different now? Mr. Araghchi then rejects some of the snippets that were shared on social media on what the agreement holds in. Says they are not what’s inside the final agreement, but he does not say what’s inside the text in a transparent way. Why are they not publishing the agreement? We’ll probably have to wait 2 weeks before the parliament opens until we can get a grasp on what the agreement is really about.

This morning on #TheWeekend, I spoke with Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, and Maya Eaglin about the unanswered questions surrounding the tragic death of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells in Mississippi. The Wells family is not asking anyone to rush to judgment. They are asking for a fair, transparent, and thorough investigation. That is exactly why National Action Network is standing with them alongside their legal counsel, Attorney Ben Crump. Too many questions remain unanswered. Why was Nolan left behind? Why were his belongings in the possession of others? Why were photos, text messages, and other information reportedly erased from his phone? Justice requires facts, transparency, and accountability. We owe Nolan’s family answers, and we will continue to stand with them every step of the way until those answers are found. #NolanWells #JusticeForNolan #MSNOW

CSS Trick 📜 You can trigger text highlights on scroll with scroll-driven animations 😎 mark { animation: highlight; animation-timeline: view(); } @keyframes highlight { to { --lit: 1; }} mark span { background-position: calc(var(--lit) * -110%) 0; transition: background 1s; } The trick is using a scroll-driven animation to flip a custom property on a element 🎚️ You flip the value between 0 and 1, and that transitions the background position of the element mark { --lit: 0; animation: highlight steps(1) both; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: entry 100% cover 10%; } The background has to be applied on a child of the mark to see the change in the custom property 👀 mark span { background: linear-gradient( 120deg, yellow 50%, transparent 50%) 110% 0 / 220% 100% no-repeat; background-position: calc(var(--lit) * 110%) 0; transition: background-position 1s; } The trick is to set the background-size so that it's bigger than the element and then split the background-color in the middle using a linear-gradient 🤙 And the property flips fills in the color 🫶 That's it! If there isn't support for scroll-driven animations, use JavaScript's IntersectionObserver API. The code for this is in the demo 😎 Cool example of using CSS as an IntersectionObserver!

🚨 CHAIRMAN COMER DELIVERS REMARKS AFTER OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE VOTES TO HOLD HUNTER BIDEN IN CONTEMPT “Today, the House Oversight Committee voted to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress. “This is something that unfortunately, we had to do. “We've conducted this investigation for over a year. “We've been very transparent with the American people. “We've been very transparent with the media. “We published four substantive bank memorandums that show concerning transactions from our enemies around the world. “We've referenced several hundreds of suspicious activity reports that the banks filed, very concerned about suspicious activity by the Biden family. “We've had heard testimony from IRS whistleblowers about the IRS and Department of Justice investigating various members of the Biden family for criminal wrongdoing. “What we saw today, unfortunately, was a stunt by the president's son to come in. “This is the second time when he was supposed to be here in this room. “The first time was it was the day we were supposed to have the deposition. “He showed up in front of the Senate and had a press conference, said he was there to answer questions, then got in the car with Eric Swalwell and drove off. “Today he came here. “He sat on the front row on the day we voted to hold him in contempt. “He didn't bother to tell anyone he was coming or try to work with us on a date for a deposition. “We heard Moskowitz say that the president's son was here. “He was sitting there to answer questions when Moskowitz’s time expired. “I recognized Miss Greene. “She wanted to ask him questions, and he got up and left. “So, I don't know what the purpose of the stunt was, but at the end of the day, Hunter Biden doesn't set the rules for Congress. “We believe that he's been given special treatment by the Department of Justice, by the FBI, by the IRS. “And in each instance, the investigators were told to stand down. “We want to bring him in. “We have hundreds of substantive questions that we want to ask the president's son about specific transactions, about specific bank violations, and about specific conversations referenced in emails, text messages and other depositions and interviews. “We expect him to come. “He was held in contempt today. “We passed it out of committee in both the Oversight and Judiciary that will now move to the House floor, I would assume, next week.” Rep. James Comer

The latest public comments regarding Senator Mitch McConnell’s health come from Kentucky’s 2nd District Republican Congressman Brett Guthrie. According to Courier Journal reporter Keely Doll, “Congressman Brett Guthrie said he’s texted with Senator Mitch McConnell but has not spoken with him on the phone.” The accompanying video shows Guthrie saying, “I hope he’s back in Washington soon… we need him back!” Guthrie did not provide any public evidence of the alleged text exchange or clarify whether the messages were sent directly by Senator McConnell or through members of his staff. That now makes three Republican leaders who have publicly claimed to have been in contact with McConnell. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Republican Whip John Barrasso previously said they each had 20-minute phone conversations with him, describing discussions ranging from world affairs to politics. Longtime McConnell ally and former staffer Scott Jennings offered a similar account on CNN. When asked live on air whether he would call McConnell to help verify those claims, he declined to do so. Meanwhile, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has formally sent McConnell a letter requesting an update on his health on behalf of the people of Kentucky. Regardless of politics, it is a highly unusual step that underscores just how many questions remain unanswered. As more lawmakers describe private conversations while little verifiable information is released publicly, skepticism is only likely to grow. If Senator McConnell is well enough to exchange text messages with members of Congress, why not post a brief statement on X, release a short video, or issue a direct message to the public? Any one of those steps would go a long way toward addressing the speculation and restoring public confidence. Questions also remain about Elaine Chao’s whereabouts. It has been publicly reported that she traveled to China for meetings with the CCP shortly after McConnell’s hospitalization. An unnamed spokesperson later told The Daily Beast that she had returned to the United States, but no publicly available evidence confirming her return has been released. At this point, the central issue is no longer simply rumor… it’s transparency. When official updates remain limited while accounts of private communications continue to multiply, public confidence erodes. Given Senator McConnell’s role as one of the nation’s most senior elected officials, many Americans believe clearer and more verifiable communication is warranted. Kentuckians, and the American people, deserve direct, transparent, and verifiable answers. The next question is whether yet another Republican lawmaker will emerge claiming to have spoken with Senator McConnell while offering no proof… or whether the public will finally hear directly from Senator McConnell himself.

I vibe coded and built a sprite animation pipeline 🛠️ (Day 22 of making the engine+game) ⬇️ Watch the video if you don't wanna read the wall of text - it directly shows what I do. Shoutout to Jidé ✨ for showing me a paper on black/white combination to get alpha, it's the cleanest method yet, and to Cursor for enabling this entire journey. If you prefer the wall of text here you go: The hardest part of using general image models for 2D sprites isn’t getting a nice-looking frame, it’s getting consistent motion across a whole sprite sheet. You can fake a sheet, but frames won’t align, timing drifts, and you end up with weird artifacts. Even if you manually cut frames + interpolate, the animation often looks “off” because each frame is basically a new interpretation, not the same character evolving over time. This is especially noticeable with public API models like gpt-image-1.5 and Nano Banana. Some custom LoRAs for open models exist, but this is intended for less techy folks. My workaround: use a video model first, then post-process into a sprite sheet. Render the animation over a solid background (white/black/magenta/green), then chroma-key it out (my engine tool supports this). If the motion stays inside the silhouette, this works surprisingly well. You can do this in almost any video editing software too! The catch: keying almost always leaves an “aura” (edge spill). My best results come from interpolating the keyed animation with a clean base sprite, so you keep crisp edges and only “borrow” motion/detail where needed. If the animation extends outside the silhouette (tree branches, hair wisps, foliage), I usually skip “true sprite animation” and do it with shaders instead. Keying can’t fully remove halos there, no matter how much feathering/tuning you do. Another annoying issue: pixel corruption. AI rarely generates a perfectly flat background (pure #000000 or #FF00FF). That tiny noise breaks clean extraction and creates crawling garbage pixels around the subject. For clean base sprites (and even PBR maps), a useful trick is generating the same asset on white + black backgrounds and deriving alpha from the difference. This is basically a matte workflow: white = opaque, black = transparent. It fixes aura… but you’d need it per-frame to fix animation, which is still hard. For simple pixel art (single-digit frames), you can sometimes generate a sprite sheet, then ask the model to recreate it on black/white while preserving alignment… but it’s still manual-heavy. Honestly, at this point, for some projects it’s easier to go 3D → 2D and render clean sprites/maps directly. But I still love pushing “pure 2D” and seeing how far we can take it. Thanks for reading!

I vibe coded and built a sprite animation pipeline 🛠️ (Day 22 of making the engine+game) ⬇️ Watch the video if you don't wanna read the wall of text - it directly shows what I do.

⚜️ The Thomas Massie Files Have Been Released, & They're Quite Disturbing ⚜️ Cynthia West, a Florida School Board candidate for Okaloosa County District 5 has been carrying a secret, & she didn't know who to turn to for advice about how to handle it. So, she met up with Marcus Carey, a prominent Kentucky attorney, to seek advice & he interviewed her where she agreed to go on the record with what has been unfolding in her life, involving Thomas Massie, another Congresswoman, attempts to bribe with cash & silence with an NDA. Two months after Massie's wife, Rhonda, passed away, she entered into a romantic relationship with him, which was in August, 2024. Totally normal behavior from a new Widower. The pair went on trips & she'd visit him in Kentucky, in Rhonda's home. Things heated up pretty between them, & he gave her a promise ring. Things were going great between them. In fact, Thomas helped West get a job working for Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz. This way, she could travel to DC to spend more time with him while she was there. Then, the relationship took a weird turn. He began requesting she do s*x acts for him that made her uncomfortable. When she refused & objected to it, she expressed that he became angry & emotionally abusive towards her. West ended the relationship, but continued working for Rep. Spartz. Shortly after the breakup, she said she got a text saying she was fired. Cynthia stated she never got written up, or did anything to warrant this other than expressing concern for Spartz' well-being, so she went to Ethics to put in a complaint. Then, she notified Thomas that he would be named in this report. She said he got very angry, & said to her: "you're just one person, you can't make a difference, & you need to just walk away." Cynthia said he then did what any other principled conservative would do: he tried to bribe her with $5,000 in cash & wanted her to sign an NDA. Cynthia refused the cash & the NDA. Cynthia said Massie has cash that he calls "cow money", which is untraceable & that he doesn't report it. Who knew, the guy who demands transparency in DC, did all he could to be the least transparent in this situation. Same goes for the guy who acted disgusted about Epstein survivors being silenced, yet he tried to bribe off a woman he mistreated in order to prevent this from seeing the light of day. I think the DOJ should investigate this "cow money." It's safe to say Massie is done, & this explains A LOT!
