Very chilling sign of the times for @sarahkendzior.bsky.social to get shut down on here.

Overheard: Quid Pro Cuomo 🤣

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian” According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

"If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter." --Brett Kavanaugh, Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

a decades long campaign by the ruling class to stigmatize kindness and empathy has been depressingly successful

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Happy Halloween all! We went as songs this year. I’m Long Legged Larry by @aesoprock.bsky.social youtu.be/us3pCHd8PLs?...

They say AI will replace the web as we know it, and this time they mean it. Here follows a short list of previous times they also meant it, starting way back in 1997.

Sometimes you only want a field to show when certain other fields have a (particular) value. The `form-show-if` web component enables that.

#overheard: I think Elon Musk should go as a fly for Halloween… because he can eat shit. 🤣

👍🏻 “When one approach becomes ‘how things are done,’ we unconsciously defend it even when standards would give us a healthier, more interoperable ecosystem.”

I probed an LLM’s responses to HTML code generation prompts to assess its adherence to accessibility best practices. The results showed key areas where better training data is needed.

The #CSS WG is trying to name several properties that do similar things. One controls the length of a text-decoration line in relation to the text, the others control 'rule' lines in grid/flex/multi-column gaps. Leave your feedback! (Note the poll spans two comments): github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

In a recent study, the VA learned a lot from users navigating acute distress — and why typical UX patterns fail.

awesome little #a11y bookmarklet from @lloydi.com a11y-tools.com/bookmarklets... (check out the other ones they have on that page, it's a right ol' treasure trove)

Any good investigative reporters on the consumer privacy beat I should follow?

While announcing a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visa workers, the Trump administration outlined the path to lucrative exceptions for its allies. www.levernews.com/pay-for-play...

I cannot tell you how refreshing @joshuacitarella.bsky.social’s Doomscroll is. He’s the @romanmars.bsky.social of politics. Listen & support! patreon.com/joshuacitare...

Media consolidation + money in politics + capitulation = the problem www.levernews.com/the-real-rea...

This is an incredibly important listen. Please share. www.npr.org/2025/09/17/n...

“Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love... Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding.”

And we speakers LOVE to talk to folks so just come say hi!!

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

Excellent interview with @warren.senate.gov. So much great (and wonky) policy discussion! www.organizedmoney.fm/p/video-and-...

Step 1: impose tariffs Step 2: businesses pass along tariff expenses to consumers as higher prices Step 3: have courts reject your tariff authority Step 4: gov’t refunds collected tariffs to the businesses (not the consumers) 💰 Profit 💰

homeschooled alumni have been saying this, and it's bad

DC! Join us at Georgetown for a free screening of our film ’Gaza: Doctors Under Attack’, an investigation into the Israeli military’s targeting of hospitals. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social & Dr. Feroze Sidhwa will discuss afterward. First come first serve. Register: events.georgetown.edu/acmcu/event/...

This story is batshit and makes it pretty clear without outright saying it that Tesla deliberately lied to hide data showing its autopilot drove a car into a couple of people www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

👎 Boo! @anthropic.com will train Claude on your chats. 👍 Hooray! Here’s how to opt out, ℅ @macrumors.bsky.social. #OptOut #AIOptOut #ClaudeAI #Anthropic #AI #LLMs #privacy

Starting to think about creating a course on progressive enhancement theory & practice (building on my discussion of the topic in the first and second editions of Adaptive Web Design). I have lots of stuff I want to talk about, but I'm curious to know what would be most useful to you.

Developers who use non-React frameworks: How do you feel when you see a useful component released for React only? Would you rather have seen it released as a web component that works with your framework?

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

No offense, but things should get better, instead of constantly worse

The Scarcity Diversion: 1. Allow elites to hoard a resource like money or land 2. Pretend that arrangement is natural or unavoidable or, better yet, ignore it altogether.

Truth: “We're being held hostage by a tiny minority of fossil fuel capitalists, the banks that invest in them, and the politicians who benefit from downplaying climate change.” — It’s Not You, It’s Capitalism, by Malaika Jabali

Honest question for folks whose politics most closely align with the Democrats: Are you seeing any action from the party’s leadership specifically — Schumer, Jeffries, Martin — that you feel indicates they have a vision for the future of the U.S. or is something that you find inspiring?

today a UN body announced famine is in Gaza. this oped from New Disabled South connects US funding of Israel's starvation campaign to Trump's BBB cutting SNAP as fundamentally American. "The U.S. allegedly has no money to feed its children or the world’s children, but has plenty of money for war."

Once again, republicans are allowed to talk shit about entire parts of our country and get away with it. This is the president’s son. Replace this with any prominent Democrat and it would be nonstop coverage. It’s more than clear now this is a choice.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Since it’s back to school time, consider adding a ClutchKit for the health & safety of the people capable of getting pregnant in your life. theclutchkit.com

Facts. The data that I share (constantly) about what really reduces crime, and what increases crime, are covered in this video. Also, the disingenuous framing of "Black people want more cops!" No they don't. Black people want *less crime and more safety*. More police violence doesn't achieve that.

Due process matters. And for folks who complain about the expense of paying lawyers to provide for someone’s defense, keep in mind it’s far more expensive to incarcerate someone. If we expedite due process, that’s less time we’re paying big money to jail innocent people.
