It's hats all the way up.

The arm wrestling meme, but for progressives and RWNJs both reading too much into Obama's endorsement timetable.

Is it possible that libraries in more conservative counties are just less likely to carry the kinds of books that conservatives dislike to begin with? You don't need a book banning campaign if your librarians are already gatekeeping content that makes you uncomfortable.

Thanks for the additional context!

Maybe I'm misreading it, but "much of" seems a bit misleading here. Doesn't this EO just mean that asylum seekers have to cross at ports of entry?

A third wheel, as it were?

Yeah, they also seem to have a generally positive effect on accident rates without a lot of downsides.

Like a road diet? highways.dot.gov/safety/other...

Even the white hat side of it seems like, at best, doing things that other job functions should be handling already. At worst, you end up with SEO wizards working at cross purposes with the rest of your team, optimizing for crawlers over people.

If you frame theft as "innovation" and eliminate penalties for it, you're going to get a lot more "innovation" 🙄

Bumped into a gross variant of this yesterday: a site that scrapes obituary posts from Facebook and reposts them with SEO-tuned headlines (headline was "[name] Obituary, [name] has Died, Death") and loads them up with ads. A sister site posts stilted summaries of the same obits, likely AI-generated.

Do they have to be hard subs? I think the ideal would be to provide soft subs and let users pick the size (and ideally other settings, like contrast) that's best for them. Here's how YouTube handles it: youtu.be/Y7W41VMxyQE

You might have already seen this, but I've found WAI's alt decision tree to be pretty helpful here: www.w3.org/WAI/tutorial...

James Lindsay isn't a bright guy, but it's still extraordinary to see him emphasizing that Boeing's DEI incentives were added in 2022, after Boeing had already killed 300+ people with the Max.

Policies that help disabled people help everyone. If you've heard of the curb cut effect, that's a good entry point into this line of thinking: ssir.org/articles/ent...

Says the guy with no regrets about Boeing's refusal to ground the Max after the original accident 🙄 newrepublic.com/article/1549...

Thanks, I wasn't aware! Pleasantly surprised that this setting exists.

It's being reported that the driver was her husband, who was also a professional cyclist. Hard to know what happened until more details emerge, but it doesn't seem to fit the typical mold for these kinds of incidents (which of course doesn't make it any less horrible). 🙁

On the other hand, some non-zero percentage of users will be told by their chatbot that assassinating the queen is "very wise" (and then actually attempt it) 😅 www.bbc.com/news/technol...
