      I have a bunch of AG Grid components in @storybook.js.org

Should I create a decorator that inits the grid modules on each story that renders an ag grid component, or initialise them once in the root preview.ts?

      Publishing a new blog post next week about one of my favourite niche animation techniques: sprites with `steps()`. 😄

This was originally going to be part of Whimsical Animations, but it sorta works better as a standalone blog post. Excited to share it with y’all!

      I wondered about it, so I looked for it, and yes, songwriter Jimmy Webb watched Alysa Liu skating to MacArthur Park for the gold.

      i wrote about a really strange press briefing i attended for perplexity www.corememory.com/p/perplexity...
      A dozen or so journalists sat around a white oak table. Most of them were stiff and quiet. A few others were more active, clacking away on their keyboards in a bid to note every word tumbling out of the executives’ mouths. Perplexity powers curiosity glowed on a projector screen in a pleasant serif style. The press wasn’t useful to Perplexity, one of the executives explained. The company doesn’t want to waste time on podcasts. They’re too focused on shipping features to engage in insular, navel-gazing AI drama. We don’t have fancy houses with wonderful dinners to impress you, he added. The chairs creaked in response. Sometime during this executive’s spiel—maybe after his Epstein joke failed to get a reaction and he anxiously asked if it was recorded—I wrote that Perplexity seemed to have forgotten what it was trying to be.
