Alt text is not the same as a photo caption. Captions are typically written to support a photo, and usually depend on users being able to see the photo. But alt text is meant to be the stand-in for the photo. The alt text is what a screen reader user gets in place of the photo.

I shared some photos this morning of the new Barbour x Norbit collection. Some people really liked the jackets, but expressed concern over the prices. These jackets are, admittedly, expensive. So here are some tips on how to get something similar for less. 🧵

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Human thermal management can run down very fast prey in hot weather. They did a test, 58 year old marathon runner followed Oryx until they just gave up from heat stress and let the runner approach. scienceblog.com/t-human-endu...
scienceblog.com
Humans are mediocre sprinters, but in 36–41°C heat researchers watched a hunter pursue an oryx until the animal's body reached 44°C while his own stayed below 39°C — a glimpse of an endurance advantag...
A Namib field study recorded an oryx at 44°C while one instrumented hunter maintained thermal control. The result supports feasibility, not proof that persistence hunting drove human evolution.
