I disagree with use cases that rely on CSS, generally at risk from network interruptions and caching, to trigger programmatic state changes in the HTML that references it (see pic). Cart / horse and all.

Instead, use CSS to ensure your programmatic state is correct. Eg: adrianroselli.com/2021/06/usin…

#a11y #accessiblity #css #html

Change certain HTML attributes via CSS (hello --aria-expanded!)

Using CSS to Enforce Accessibility

The CSS3 logo as a head atop a torso with its arms folded across its chest. I am a big proponent of the First Rule of ARIA (don’t use ARIA). But ARIA brings a lot to the table that HTML does not, such as complex widgets and state information that…

A very wide coalition of parties in Denmark have agreed on a new "anti-Elon" law that will prevent foreign interference in Danish politics.

I hope Germany will get inspired.

Republicans just voted to put a Putin apologist with no real intelligence experience in charge of our intelligence community. The Director of National Intelligence should be someone with integrity, experience, and commitment to our national security — not Tulsi Gabbard.

Gabbard is fundamentally unfit for this role. Her willingness to align herself with adversaries like Putin and Assad demonstrates a disregard for the principles and priorities of U.S. foreign policy. cbsnews.com/news/tulsi-gabbard…


Tulsi Gabbard confirmed and sworn in as director of national intelligence

One Republican — Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky — joined Democrats in voting against Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as director of national intelligence.

Indivisible ❌👑

But every Senate Republican (except for Mitch McConnell) just voted to confirm Gabbard. These Senate Republicans think they can get away with it. They think we’ll forget. They think their shameless betrayals of the people they work for will go unanswered.

They’re not counting on us funneling our fury into real action. indivisibleteam.medium.com/the…

Fascinating idea by @doctorow about the trade wars inspired by #Trump

Meeting a #Tarrif with a Tarrif isn't going to help #Canadians however what Cory suggests here could:

More importantly, it might hurt the backers of the chaos coming out of the USA since Jan 20th.

There are times when the wind fills your sails, and then there are weeks when everything just feels like a mess, oozing from all directions. No matter what you do, how hard you try, or how much effort you put in, it all turns out wrong. Experience whispers that I just need to grit my teeth and push through this swamp, no matter what. But my inner child just wants to crawl under a blanket, close my eyes, and hope all the monsters disappear.

if you need a quick break - or a longer one -and you can't just head outside right now, - might i suggest this:

tree.fm

it's a place where you can listen to trees / forests across the globe. Sometimes there are birds, or wind, or insects can be heard, but always trees.

I adore trees. They are soothing and reassuring. They help me slow down. Maybe they can do the same for you?

People around the world recorded the sounds of their forests, so you can escape into nature, while in lockdown or unable to travel. Use this site to chill, meditate or do some digital shinrin-yoku.

I want everyone to know that I do not support plans to protest at 11 a.m. Saturday in front of Tesla dealerships, and that especially includes the Tesla dealership at 14010 Perry Hwy (Route 19), Wexford, PA 15090, and certainly not 1400 Brockwell St., Bridgeville, PA 15017.

Please do NOT share this message or the hashtag, #TeslaTakeover

What It Was Like to Get a Meal at a Medieval Tavern

What It Was Like to Get a Meal at a Medieval Tavern

At least since The Canterbury Tales, the setting of the medieval tavern has held out the promise of adventure. For their customer base during the actual Middle Ages, however, they had more utilitarian virtues.
