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?

Carrying a pregnancy and giving birth are basically the most dangerous things people might do in their entire lives. I think even lumberjacks have better safety stats.

Jmail lets you browse more than 2,000 of Jeffrey Epstein's emails in a fake Gmail inbox
'We cloned Gmail, except you're logged in as Epstein and can see his emails' is the most impressively cursed tech project of the year
Way better than combing through a bunch of PDFs.

America has morphed into the grossest sort of ethno-state in real time. These things "violate human rights" only if the presumption is the people they're applied to aren't in fact human.
"Countries with state subsidies for abortion, transgender-friendly policies for children, hate speech laws and affirmative action policies will now be considered to be violating human rights under rules imposed at the [US] State Department..."

Is that a ferret on the Russian stamp?
Ok Bluesky, let’s give this a go: I found this postcard in the back of a photo frame I bought at a London thrift shop.

It’s an unsent postcard from a woman called Linda to her parents. The front shows the Kremlin in Moscow and the stamp says 1984 (!).

I’d love to return it to Linda - can you help?

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
