The yellow heart emoji ⟨💛⟩ is mistakenly displayed as a pink "hairy heart" ⟨a pink heart symbol with marks representing short hair.⟩ in Google's Android 4.4 mobile operating system (released 2013) because Google's emoji art team misinterpreted the dots in Unicode's black-and-white reference images ⟨Heart symbol with dots.⟩ as being hair stubble. In reality, the dotted pattern is simply used as a colorless way to represent the color yellow (in accordance with heraldic hatching).

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules
The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

Meme format with the newly-iconic shots from “You Can See Everything”, a documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. 

First frame: Interviewer asking “You’re a real PNG file, right?” (This is not a line from the documentary as far as we know)

Second frame: Elizabeth Holmes saying “Why would I deceive you?”, like she does in the teaser for the documentary, but behind her the background has been photoshopped out and there’s a grey and white grid of squares, like you see on fake PNG files that don’t really have a transparency layer.

Damn this is so good. I was struggling with this question of how dark mode toggles should work and the answer is crystal clear after reading this 👌🏻 Now onto the follow-up to see if I can be convinced not to have a toggle at all 🤔 lea.verou.me/blog/2026/dark-mode-to…

Dark mode toggles: two states are enough • Lea Verou
Yes, the underlying model must have three states, but one is always irrelevant to the actual user goal. Users do not seek out solutions to problems they don’t currently have. A lot of the hate towards two-state toggles is based on poor implementations.

Today, at the Dutch Resistance Musuem, I learned about Freida Belinfante — all around badass. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieda_...
After the liberation, resistance fighter Frieda Belinfante returned from Switzerland, to which she had fled. She was a self-assured lesbian woman, but now she felt lost. "You didn't hear a word about the resistance fighters who had risked their lives. People iust did their thing: earned money, built a life for themselves. It was a harsh wake-up call."
Like many members of the resistance, Frieda had hoped for a greater sense of community after the war. "We thought everything would be better, including politically, but nothing had changed at all." Disappointed, Frieda emigrated to the United States, where she achieved success as one of the few female orchestra conductorsPhoto of a woman I'm a suit and tie, smoking a cigarette
