Almost Anyone Can Start a Private School. We Put This to the Test.
Our reporting has shown how easily people — some with questionable backgrounds — have founded their own private schools in barns, strip malls and other places. That led us to an experiment: If the hur...

Late night at the art studio
In this digital painting, a girl is working on a collection of oil paintings of a tiger late at night in an art studio. A real tiger jumps straight out of the biggest canvas onto the floor in front of her, and she draws back in surprise! The girl has brown hair, brown skin, and a blue painting T-shirt that says "Save Earth" and is covered in paint marks. She is wearing casual clothes, and has clearly been on a late deadline!

Irregular reminder that alt text on images is a valuable accessibility tool, and also lets your images show in search results or respect mute lists. For instance, I found the below image by searching "capybara alt text".
A brief guide on writing good alt text for images, which suggests including 
1. Who or what
2. Their expression or emotion
3. A description of the image
4. Notable colors
5. Interesting features

The included example image and description: "A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara's head."

Dan's addition: saving the "interesting thing" for last is a bit like writing a joke - end with the memorable punchline!

Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel.
The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact?
See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.
2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week.
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts.
4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.
Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years.
Nothing you do will have greater impact.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

There is no honor in making others struggle solely because you did. Persevering through difficulty is worth celebrating, but is worth even more if you can lessen the burden for those who come after you, especially those less fortunate, less privileged. That way lies glory.
