@ColinTheMathmo Yes. That's called conservation of dirt.

Hi friends,

The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, I have brain cancer.

I built a working, scalable, proof of concept library of shared alt text with fuzzy matching.

I'd like to connect with the #accessibility dev community. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

WIP MVP: a site designed for writing alt text with a private library: https://my.alt-text.org

Boosts appreciated

BREAKING: Hunter Biden used the White House to find lenders for himself, gained 41 trademarks in China, made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.

Whoops, never mind, that was Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

I think we can all agree on this.

Via Ben Wexler:

Not even sure why I bother to point it out, but if another politician, one day after a school shooting, said “Get over it,” and then a few days later said “I hope the economy crashes within the next 12 months,” their candidacy would be over

Via Kyle Griffin:

President #Biden will cast Donald #Trump as a threat to democracy Saturday in a speech to be delivered on the third anniversary of the insurrection.

"Our message is clear, and it is simple: We are running a campaign like the fate of our democracy depends on it. Because it does."

@GottaLaff great, now do Loudermilk, Marge, Cruz, Gym Jordan and the others

Keep 'em coming...

Don’t believe slavery was the cause of the Civil War?

South Carolina’s own secession declaration in 1860 said so!

It cited “increasing hostility … of the non-slaveholding states to the institution of slavery.”

You know, the same South Carolina where Haley used to be governor.

Break your oath of office by trying to overthrow the Constitution you swore to defend — and you never get to hold office again.

It’s that simple.

TIL that there is a new term for the era we are living in, and it is Assholocene.

All I can say is <chef's kiss>.

November 9-10, 1938 - Nazis looted and burned synagogues and Jewish-owned stores and homes, and beat and murdered Jewish men, women, and children across Germany and Austria.
Known as Kristallnacht, it was a night of organized violence against Jews marking the beginning of the Holocaust with the killing of 91 and the deportation of 30,000 to concentration camps.

If you’re thinking about backing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. because he’s a Kennedy, remember that the other Kennedys have openly denounced his candidacy. If you respect the Kennedys, respect their opinions about RFK, Jr.

The counter girl hopped right up when I walked in and was clocking in to help me.

Me: were you on break? I can wait until it's over I'm not in a hurry.

Her: no, we're supposed to clock out when there aren't customers

Me: oh no, honey, no. That's illegal.

Her: 😳

Me: not for you, for your manager or whoever told you to do that.

Her: it is?

Me: it's called wage theft when your boss doesn't pay you what you earned. when your boss requires you to stay here, he needs you pay you for your time.

Her: oh.

Me: here, this is the office number to an employment lawyer, call her and tell her you need to come in to talk about this

Her: I don't have any money

Me: we're gonna get your money, you already earned it sweetie.

Trump's going to be a convicted felon before the election. There's a good chance this will happen multiple times. He may very well be imprisoned before the election. The Republican party can make a stand and not allow Trump to be eligible to even be their nominee – but they're not. Their course of action says that they're content with their presidential nominee running from prison.

Republican's America is dystopia.

@sorinorii@mastodon.online The leaves are not that interesting. It's the bug or even small mammal hiding under the leaves that the cat is looking for.

It’s Election Day here in Virginia and 39 other states. The races here are being closely watched nationally. https://richmond.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/5-key-races-on-virginia-ballots-tuesday/article_6c3d889c-7b48-11ee-ae1c-f7f8d31aa45f.html

Wikipedia was around before Elon Musk’s current business empire, and will be here long after he and his companies crash and burn—events its volunteer editors will meticulously, neutrally, and accurately chronicle. Wikipedia will quote and archive his asinine remarks for future generations of historians. It must drive him crazy.

It's worth noting that the INTENDED lifespans of Voyager 1 and 2 were FIVE years. They've now been operating about half a century, a full order of magnitude more than anticipated. Probably the best use of plutonium ever.
