New from 404 Media: people are 3D-printing whistles to warn each other about the presence of ICE. Some people make designs and upload them; others are given a design and are printing hundreds and hundreds of whistles at home. It's been effective in Chicago

The Latest Defense Against ICE: 3D-Printed Whistles
Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

🐀Male and female rats like to be tickled differently - males prefer rougher play.
🤣How do we know? Rats produce ultrasonic giggles that can be monitored with a bat detector.
🧪Why is this relevant? To improve lab animal welfare.
Ah, to tickle rats for a living...♥️

Go Computer Now! – The Story of Sphere Computers
A book telling the extraordinary story of Sphere, a 1970s Utah personal computer maker far ahead of its time—until its sudden collapse.

Shot in the dark: Wally’s favorite toy got disemboweled by a dog friend while I was out of town, and they don’t seem to make this anymore. Does anybody have a Zippy Paws corgi that their dog doesn’t care about that you’d be willing to rehome?

This is why I genuinely do not understand journalists who do not use it. You want LESS people reading your stuff? Isn't that the opposite of what you want, why wouldn't you just add alt text to all your stuff so it's accessible to more people.
Aside from other reasons to add alt text, they also help search for images.
If your search terms are in the alt text, but not the main text, the post still comes up in the results on Bluesky.

My biggest tip for coloring is think of it like an equation:
Decide your most important factors, what limits that, what draws attention to that, then build everything else around that.
For instance: This object is the most important and must be orange.
