As an Indonesian, all I can say is we dont have enough crossroads. I shall be jaywalking

One of the things we do differently around here is that we add ALT text to all posted images in consideration for those who require it.

Could I ask you to consider including it next time?

Running the risk of being that person, but you posted an image full of text. Why not post just the text?

1) Didn’t know if it would fit

Another case of The Simpsons predicting the future? Or The Economist are Simpsons fans 😁

@birdyword.bsky.social may know

Probably both. The writers of the Simpsons and the editors of The Economist are both clever and witty.
