Mark Zuckerberg went to Svalbard on his massive superyacht that spews more greenhouse gases in a day than most people do in a year. He got a cold reception.
The Washington Post is doing a MUCH better job than the NYTimes on framing and headlining RFKJ stories. Compare this WaPo hed & dek to the NYT's "RFK Jr. Accuses Gavi, Global Vaccine Agency, of Ignoring Science." There's only one side ignoring science & it is this sociopath who is killing children. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ua7v7…
Even NPR blew it with its headline: "RFK Jr. says U.S. will stop funding global vaccine group over 'vaccine safety' issues" because those scare quotes are not enough to say that there is absolutely no substance to his made-up grifter conspiracy theory

When you make the pitch for accessibility, be prepared for pushback. There are several myths and misconceptions, so it's good to be aware of what they are and how to dispel them.
We can all be faced with some form of disability, whether permanent or temporary, at different times in our lives. That's why accessibility must be a constant concern at every stage of development.

When Mike and I were first married, I would always change the direction of the toilet paper on the roller, because he would always put it on (in my view at least) the wrong way. Then, just as I decided to accept his way of doing it, he started doing it my way, thereby robbing me of the chance to be the bigger person. Ten years is certainly something to celebrate! caneandable.social/@JonathanMo…
Taking a little break right ahead of all the excitement of our national convention to mark a Special Milestone.
Bonnie and I are heading out to Las Vegas tomorrow to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.
To me, having the toilet paper over the roll is the right way. Sorry to all of you who reverse it. I try to be open-minded about a lot of things but I just can't wrap my head around people who reverse this.
@DavidGoldfield@tweesecake.social I might just be one of those people who, when visiting people's homes, will turn the roll around so that it's on the correct way. I've also done this in businesses where the rolls aren't locked down. I don't have OCD, but the toilet paper roll is one of those things that really does have to be on the right way. And yes, the paper should be at the front, not the back.

Listen, oh listen, o you great city of #Lyon! Or even better: écoute, ô écoute, ô toi la grande ville de Lyon ! Cet article est en anglais, mais tu peux le traduire si tu veux, y a des moyens. chacun de ceux et celles qui repostent le grand hourra de » À Lyon on abandonne #Windows et #Microsoft #Office pour #Linux » doit lire ceci. Chacun qui prône la soit-disante liberté de Linux et de l'open-source doit clairement avouer : on ne veut pas de gens handicapés, aveugles, âgés, «pas assez smart ». Nous sommes exclus de votre fête de la vie. Si une solution est libre, open-source mais pas accessible, c'est une mauvaise solution. fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/you… #Accessibility #Accessibilité #EAA
