Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood: Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

For everyone fearful of flying right now. Your impression on the "increase" of plane-related accidents is due to increased media coverage after the DC aircraft incident. There are fewer overall incidents in 2025 compared to the same time period in 2024, including fewer fatalities.
