@support.bsky.team . Please don't make me have to put my glasses on to read tags and handle. My eyesight isn't that bad but the colour contrast simply is not accessible. It should be.

The Austrian word of the year, "Emile", mentioned in #StrongMessageHere with @aiannucci.bsky.social, after the runaway elk viral sensation, was actually misheard. They weren't saying "here is Emile" they were saying "here is a meal".

Love this scene in The Harder They Come with Jimmy Cliff running errands on his bike, catching Toots And The Maytals in the studio and being inspired.

Bluesky #accessibility. Low contrast of the blue #hashtag text is difficult to read in dark mode. There are web design rules for this kind of thing. Is it compliant? Would be good to be able to adjust the colour in appearance settings.

You just can't win can you? People speculate (you hint, to be fair) that you're going to raise income tax and get clobbered for doing a U-turn (from your manifesto). In the end you decide not to and they call it a U-turn regardless.

MD is pressing pause on Private Eye’s investigation into the Lucy Letby case - to give the Criminal Case Review Commission time to catch up. But if it still hasn’t acted by February, MD says the anonymised expert reports should be made public.

Chemical tests on Neanderthal bones have been used to argue that our ancient relatives ate little besides meat, but a more likely explanation may be an omnivorous diet with lots of maggots.

Neanderthals were probably maggot-munchers, not hyper-carnivores
It has been claimed Neanderthals ate a huge amount of meat based on isotope ratios in their bones – but the explanation could instead be a diet rich in maggots

It's exceptionally hard for people to drop beliefs once they've become a core part of their identity. It's why it's quite valuable for democracies to have a large pool of basically apathetic voters (but who will vote...)
