Apple, what for the love of Grace Hopper makes you think this kind of color contrast is acceptable? Those timestamps have a 1.73:1 ratio against the background. Virtually illegible unless you’re trying to read them up close and while stationary.

Zoom's recent UI update is a huge accessibility problem, as they've created a focus trap at the "Rotate 90°" button. Tab to it, and focus stays there forever and can't be moved. The Video / Appearance / Virtual Backgrounds tabs are unreachable via keyboard or screen reader. Zoom, this sucks.

Remarkably, sending in unlikable charisma-void James “JD Vance” Bowman to stump for Orban didn’t help, and actually made his poll numbers drop. Who could have imagined that the electorates of two *different* countries find Captain Crusty-Couch to be unpleasant and detestable

As “d” and “H” are a ligature, we can infer this is a “dh”, a voiced dental fricative phoneme, as in the English word “this”. Presumably Frank’s felt “ð” would be challenging for most modern English typesetters. Still, it’s clear that “Reðot” is what’s intended. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a fully-vigilant perimeter of good guys with guns at a distance of over 500 yards, at all times

Excerpt from a news article saying that the suspect was 300-500 yards away from the former President and had a rifle with a scope.

"The green M&M isn't sexy now that she stopped wearing boots." "We should have genital checks for all high school athletes." "Exercise makes you unhealthy and you die sooner." "Childless people shouldn't be in office." They're such weirdo creeps.

When they go low, we go “ew!”

They’re so weird. Just so, so weird

If $148M seems like a lot, it’s important to send a strong message so that this acts as a deterrent against larger and even more dangerous threats to democracy. It’s called “broken windows” policing.

I like how Slack’s guide to their new interface offers *both* syntaxes: Mac *and* Mac. “Don’t have the fancy ⌘ key? No problem! Just use the Command key!" Listen, you Apple-polishers at Slack: I don’t have *either* key, and neither do 70% of desktop users. Get outside of your bubble.

Slack’s guide shows that you can use either the ⌘ key or the CMD key.

This goes a ways to explaining why I’m on both Bluesky and Mastodon.

Ok, I figured it out:

BlueSky is for theater kids
Mastodon is for nerds
Threads is for cheerleaders
