🎨 In iOS 26, you can now use the Shortcuts app with Apple’s Cloud model to generate ALT-friendly captions for any photo. Great for accessible social media posts! #iOS26 #ShortcutsApp #Accessibility #ALTtext
A smartphone screen displays a caption generation shortcut with options to select photos, use a cloud model, and copy the response to the clipboard.

Tigers have built their offensive identity around aggressive baserunning, consistent contact and gritty at-bats. But they’ve homered 20 times so far on their road trip, their most in any 7-game stretch since 2004. “We can do it all,” said Kerry Carpenter, who fell a triple shy of a cycle Sunday.

ANAHEIM -- The Tigers have turned aggressive baserunning, outfield gap-slashing and tenacious at-bats into their offensive brand, a fitting style for spacious Comerica Park. But in the right situation...

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.
Showing the accessibility settings for alt text in bluesky with two options:

Require alt text before posting
Display larger alt text badges

Both are checked

Waves and tides
It's easy to be distracted by the wave that's crashing on the shore. On the other hand, the tide is inexorable. It's the long-term trend, the one that is quietly happening, over time. Sometimes, a big wave comes along and we lose our focus. It's urgent. But expecting and working with the tide pays off. Waves burn out.

Writing songs is hard. Like, really hard. But you know what’s harder? Getting that song recorded and sounding like it does in your head. I have tools I wouldn’t have even dreamt about as a kid, but recording is a whole other skill set. Completely different muscles.
