Recent comic: It's time to update the old binaries

TERMS for our TIMES

LET'S FACE IT: THESE OLD BINARIES HAVE BECOME TIRED AND VAGUE.

EVIDENCE-BASED vs. PSEUDO-SCIENTIFIC

CONSTITUTIONAL VS. UNCONSTITUTIONAL

CORRUPT VS. FAIR

IMAGINE IF THESE TERMS WERE INSERTED INTO TYPICAL HORSE RACE NEWS COVERAGE.

Anchorman: THE CONSTITUTION IS DOWN IN THE POLLS. CAN IT APPEAL TO SWING VOTERS?

TV reporter with Ice agent hauling away older woman in background: AND ANOTHER SETBACK FOR HUMAN RIGHTS TODAY.

Pundit: PSEUDOSCIENCE IS VERY POPULAR AND WILL BE KEY TO WINNING THE MIDTERMS.

Reporter: SOME SAY BARBARISM HAS BEEN WRONGLY EXCLUDED FROM OUR INSTITUTIONS.CONSERVATIVES VS. LIBERALS RIGHT VS. LEFT

DEMOCRATS VS. REPUBLICANS

MAYBE WE SHOULD TRY THESE INSTEAD:

AUTHORITARIANISM VS. DEMOCRACY

HUMAN RIGHTS VS. BARBARISM

Less important, but very interesting, is how ‘Strange Days’ anticipated so well the culture which would emerge from everyone having small pocket cellphones that they just feel natural to a contemporary viewer rather than science fictional, as it was at the time. < thread >

Reposting this thread b/c it's Canada Day and we could all use a little self-awareness in our patriotism today. There's lots to celebrate about Canada. There's also lots that's absolutely not worth celebrating (which we must in fact reconcile).

Dear CBC: If it’s “nearly 1 in 5” Albertans would vote to separate, that means over 80% of the province WOULD NOT. Quit framing things for a fringe minority of dimwits caught in their own rage loop. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Greenhouse gas emissions from Alberta's oilsands have also continued to set new records. They hit 86.5 megatonnes in the latest National Inventory Report. (By comparison: Quebec's *total* emissions were 78.9 megatonnes that year.)

There are so many good threads on alt text. This is a really straight-forward introduction. But also, never forget, if you're posting a screenshot of text (eg a magazine or website page) that also needs alt text and many apps enable you to copy-paste the text directly.

pictorial guide to writing alt text with colour-coded instructions above a picture example and its corresponding alt text.

instructions:
green: Identify who
pink: expression
teal: description
yellow: colour
orange: interesting features

Example alt text:
green: a capybara
pink: looking relaxed
teal: in a hot spa.
yellow: Yellow yuzu fruits
teal: are floating in the water
orange: and one is balanced on the top of the capybara's head.

Today the BC carbon tax has been removed. It's unfortunate that a simple climate policy had become so politicized. Talk about ironic timing: our paper on the CO2 response to carbon pricing just came out in the April issue of Energy Economics. Hot off the press, cold in the policy grave. #Econsky
