I definitely didn’t expect seeing a new major jQuery release in 2026, but here it is! This is the first major release in 10 years and it doesn’t bring a lot of new things on the surface, but seems to have been a major overhaul behind the scenes. Looks like a future v5 will bring in bigger changes.
jQuery might be old by JS framework standards, but it’s still very useful, and I actually still use it almost daily at my job.

The Truth About Lying (and why we do it) (video), by Miss Chalice
Excuse me, I’m in a Lies of P obsession right now. This video (which contains some light spoilers) talks about the Truth/Lie choices in the game, which are an incredible narrative device, and how that relates to what makes us human.
It’s not surprising that a game based on the story of Pinocchio would have Lies and “becoming human” as parts of its theme, but I really like how they made it all make sense organically and not just like something they tacked in there because they had to.

Lies of P Overture
2025, Neowiz
My rating: Loved it!
This prequel to Lies of P is everything that was good about the base game, but elevated into a 12-hour long campaign of pure awesomeness.
The story, level design, bosses and weapons are just state of the art. The final chapter had my eyes all teared up all the time.
Each chapter even has self-contained small side quests that don’t give much of a challenge but are great pieces of world-building to make Krat an even cooler setting.

A Website To End All Websites, by Henry Desroches
This is a very interesting read that compares the internet’s development to that of the automobile, but I also want to highlight the design of the article itself. So good 🤌

Ian's Shoelace Site, by Matt Fantinel
This is awesome: an entire site dedicated to shoelaces, how to lace, tie or simply learn about them. It even includes the “world’s fastest shoelace knot”, created by the website’s author himself! I gotta try it out.

1984, Mick Jackson
My rating: I like it
Raw and gut-wrenching are perfect adjectives for this one. It wants to get its message across and pulls no punches in doing so: nobody wins a nuclear war.
