Hi @bsky.app @support.bsky.team I really liked when I joined how nearly all pictures had AltText. I liked how I could set a reminder to add it. I don't usually need it, but, I like to make it easy for others. Can the default be to need it and someone has to go into settings to turn the reminder off?

Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt.
This is cruel and unnecessary.
If you receive a notice, send it to us and we'll try to help.

This is the least important thing about these people, but, it astounds me how bland and similar all the women in the Trump circle look.
For a story angle I’m jealous of, my pal Dylan Wells at WaPo has a profile out on Margo Martin.
Check out her profile on one of the key aides in Trump’s inner circle. This lady is everywhere www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The GOP is crushing clean energy development. He’s stealing oil reserves across the Western hemisphere.
So what do you think you’re going to get for supporting the oil and gas industry?
It’s so stupid.

All this analysis arguing that we should support more oil and gas development and just make clean energy cheap, because we don’t have the power to restrict fossil-fuel supply right now!
May I remind the analysts that we don’t have the power to make clean energy cheap in the US either?

Some of your assertions ask ppl not to believe their own eyes. You did in fact publish an opinion piece “In Defense of JK Rowling” immediately after hundreds of your own contributors protested your growing bias. That is a fact.

This assertion is false: “No UK correspondent was assigned or drafted a story about the Cass report.”
I read the story as it was being written. It was placed on the budget and then pulled off. I know this bc it was my job to know what was being covered, how and by whom. Your publisher knows this.

No trans journalists is ever involved at any level in nyt news coverage about trans ppl; we are purposely excluded. The nyt has not hired or assigned a trans journalist to cover trans news for at least five years. Your publisher and top editors are well aware of that.
