LA Times owner seems to be in league with Trump, vetoing a Harris endorsement and then letting the campaign use standard-issue lies to smear the paper for something it didn't do.
The editorial page editor quit in protest and she deserves our respect.
She has more courage than the vast majority of our political press corps, which still normalizes Trump and will be culpable if he -- and then Vance -- become America's fascist rulers.

Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Ya salió la oferta de empleo público y se vende como si fueran puestos a incorporar mañana. Si está convocada para 2026 y resuelta en 2028 ya será rápido comparado con como suelen ir estas cosas.

Deptali ho kukáním a ponižovali Haškem. Co zažil český velvyslanec v Rusku
Do letošního června velvyslanec v Rusku Vítězslav Pivoňka měl za úkol „dobýt ambasádu v Moskvě zpět“. Vrátit ji do českých rukou. Protože, jak říká, ji ovládaly ruské uklízečky, kukačky a štěnice.Petra Procházková (Deník N)

We moved the Firefox Translations engineering channels from private Slack to a public Matrix channel, and it feels like a breath of fresh air. The project was a bit more closed in its infancy, but now that we are on a good track, everything is defaulting to much more open. This makes me happy.

Wonderful article from @bas on getting started with #accessibility. basbroek.nl/making-accessibili…
I love how he emphasizes that while accessibility is a vast space, we can start small and learn from the assistive technologies already built into our devices!
Making Accessibility Accessible
In ‘Building an Accessibility Culture, One Step at a Time’, a presentation I recently gave at Swift Connection and SwiftLeeds, I spoke about “making accessibility accessible”. What does it mean, and how can we accomplish this?Bas’ Blog

"Boeing reports $6 billion quarterly loss ahead of vote by union workers who have crippled production"
Gotta love the implicit bias.
Let's fix it:

Boeing can't produce any new 737s, however, until it ends the strike by 33,000 machinists that has shut down assembly plants in the Seattle areaAssociated Press (Voice of America (VOA News))
The company doctors call "EvilCore" fits the description in every way.
Health insurance companies pay it to help them stiff policy holders. It's a scam on the American people.

As expected, my hearing loss is too severe, and it will not enable hearing assistance. It claims moderate loss in the left ear, severe in the right.
Many of the tones exist in the frequency spectrum where my tinnitus is especially bad in the right ear, so I’m not surprised.
this being said, the test UX is very good and straightforward.
A big shout out to everyone at #A11yCamp yesterday. Sean spent a very informative day there leaning and networking on all the latest in #A11y / #Accessibility!
Photos are Sean with Riley Busch from the department of education, and a view of the Clarendon Auditorium filling up before the event started
As noted on the banner in the first photo, A11y Camp is Australia's premier conference on digital accessibility and inclusion.

Why did the art thief get caught while trying to get away from the museum?
Because he had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.
All right folks. I don't like doing this again, but I need 195 dollars to get out of the lnegatives before OVFF. 200 or so would be preferable, but 195 will at least get me there. I wouldn't ask this, but I get paid on Friday, and I'm afraid that if I don't have this, most of my pay'll be eaten by the negative balance. :(

Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace.
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.
