Do not cram alt text with keywords just to improve search engine optimization. This will hinder alt text’s true purpose: improving accessibility. Focus on describing the photo's content. Search engine optimization should not be the goal for writing good alt text.

This is a good thread.
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

I have read Trump’s “war department” EO.
This is nothing. He changed nothing. He added pretend secondary titles with no power under the law.
He will make the government spend hundreds of millions for vanity labeling purposes.
If you’re in the media and you don’t harp on that, you’re failing.

America Is Choosing Decline
When the president wants to slit the nation’s throat, the least we can do is not hand him the blade.

Everyone is always like "Safety is our number 1 priority!" Just once, I'd like to see someone be like..."meh, safety's like three or four on the list on a good Tuesday."

Because I absolutely don't care about sportsball but I do enjoy the irony of wall-to-wall coverage and an unprecedented amount of fanfare today yielding this outcome.

This is the first time that a Bill Belichick-coached team has ever allowed 48 points in a game.

There are five "easy wins" for accessibility that I teach about that require no training and no effort. This is one. Alt text is another. Clear directions/instructions is the third. Descriptive links is the fourth and captions is the fifth.
When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

My 7yo is in love with home renovation shows. Just once I want them to do the big reveal and the homeowner is like "meh, I liked the old one better." I feel like that would be good television.
