working on web accessibility will radicalize you in the same way that riding your bike in the US will radicalize you; you realize how many people are actively hostile toward even basic accommodations

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

my sister is the worker who was fired for wearing a mask to protect my immunocompromised fiancé. i went to mikos to confront the owner directly after and he told me mikos “did the whole mask thing; we’re done with that” and that masks were “disguises” v different than his comments here! hmmm 🤔

During my livestream yesterday, I talked about Figma Sites for a little bit. I've broken it off into a short, stand-alone video. I don't normally like bashing a company, but when a company of Figma's size makes a product this bad, I think it's important to call them out on it. youtu.be/ZsFIvULxkHI

A historic moment as we witness the first American leading the Catholic Church. Hailing from Chicago, Pope Leo XIV ushers in a new chapter that I join those in our state welcoming in at a time when we need compassion, unity, and peace.

Just like with Covid those watching who actually understand what is happening know that we haven’t even seen the impact yet. The ripples haven’t started to turn into waves yet and they will. America is about to go through some things in a way that many do not even remotely understand.

I want a candidate in 2028 to create a vague impression that they will do Obama style looking forward not back admin, and then once in power put these people in jail and possibly give them the death penalty.
