When I build a website, I include in the code information about the image I'm using.

For example, here's how I would embed the image below:

<img src="https://website.com/gums.jpg" alt="Sen Tim Scott, a man with a very high gum to tooth ratio.">

The screen reader would speak the alt text.
Sen Tim Scott, a man with a very high gum to tooth ratio.

Today is a good day to remember that Tim Scott scuttled efforts at police reform after the George Floyd murder.

Icy, slushy recovery run, thanks to the Novant/Encompass Rehab, who could be counted on to plow the driveway and parking lot.

A few questions:
• I won't be going, but is it too soon to encourage a boycott of the 𝙈𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙖 movie?

• When box office numbers are out, how will we know if sales are manipulated by artificial, no-show ticket sales?

• When it doesn't get an Oscar™ nomination, what country is at risk of invasion?

How long before the profilers on TV shows start saying, "The suspect was radicalized because of the abuses during the Trump administration."?

From someone who knows.
The image shows a quoted post. Original post is from a user with the screen name "Beam me up" stating, "Someone somewhere knows what's in the Epstein files. Times to be a hero and leak them." The person who quoted that initial post replied, "Yup". That person is Reality Winner

What's up with this lame attempt to increase engagement? Then, the first three posts are people who I already follow? Sus, highly sus. I wonder when's the IPO?

The toxicologists call it "1984," a nootropic cooked up by some guy named Orwell. Ten kids overdosed when they had their mind exposed to the fascism.

Ahem
Image of post from Barb McQuade in response to Maduro's capture by the Trump administration TEXT: It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

NGL, I saw this on Strava after this morning's run and I thought, "Maybe, I do have this working out thing wrong?" 🤔🤔🤔
Pro-tip: go to the gym, throw 8 plates on the bar, get a selfie with the rack, post it, go home. No one actually asks or checks if you can lift the thing Garmin run summary: 4.67mi 13:00/mile pace 1:00:42 total time 693 calories
