One might say Spirit is now a ghost of an airline.

In retrospect, it took a surprisingly long time for YouTube to go from a seemingly harmless content sharing platform to massively scaled infomercial platform to radicalizing social engineering system.

Official data is in today, and US solar power generation continues to grow rapidly, up 25% compared to this time last year!

@brianmbendis.bsky.social I once asked why you had young characters in your comics say Yiddish phrases, questioning that kids do that. Today I heard a mid-20s woman who was not a Caucasian Ashkenazi Jewish person say “Oy vey.” My first thought was “I was wrong for questioning Bendis.”

Nearly halfway funded in under two days! Still plenty of time to reserve your copy — or get some special flong!

There’s no algorithm that could predict and prepare a business for the uptick in sales of this product thanks to this spontaneous love affair with a monkey in Japan. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Since we're just giving these away now, it took just minutes to "earn" this Nobel Prize. Alt text for a11y and for extra snark. www.theverge.com/24242800/ai-...

I'm not a big fan of survival of the fittest. Maybe it's because I'm out of shape.

Someone at Amazon hates the Mets if this is the top search result.

@reckless.bsky.social what is up with this Brother printer The Verge has been recommending for years?

@tommorelloofficial.bsky.social what do you think of this photo I took outside my kid’s music class in an affluent suburb of Philadelphia? Feels like it could be useful for future album art. I need to find an up and coming band who needs it. Read the alt text for fun. 😉

Baseball is tension, stress, and unpredictable chaos. I was convinced the Phillies would be in the World Series, but not convinced enough to put any money on it. 🤣

And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations. I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.

@danslott.bsky.social Hey Dan, I haven’t been reading monthly comics for a long time, but I heard you talking to @wordballoon.bsky.social, so I picked up Superman Unlimited. I finally got around to reading them. You put a much needed smile on my face. Thanks to you both for doing what you do.

What would be even more awesome: Show it. Both Marvel and DC Studios do behind-the-scenes features to promote the shows and movies. Have a feature showcasing the original comic book art and contrast it w/ scenes & sequences from the movies/shows. That would create MORE interest. It'd be a win-win.

“We should treat accessibility as something that is structural or baked in or part of the DNA, if we want to be successful” — says @marcysutton.com at #perfnow “Don’t treat it like trying to put chocolate chips into a cookie after it is baked” I love this framing!

Just like web performance work, accessibility winds up being less expensive the earlier you implement it. Build accessibility in from the start, rather than bolting it on - make it part of the process. @marcysutton.com #webperf #PerfNow #a11y

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

This Jeep is a statement.

This feels familiar.

Can’t imagine why the free little library would have this buried inside.

Since we’re rebooting the federal government, now would be a good time to think about upgrades to the personnel.

Did I though?

Do I like what I do?

nothing like a saturday of labor day weekend newsdump, but no time like the present: I wrote a book, and it’s available for pre-purchase! linktr.ee/artbutmakeit...

I love YouTube because I love clicking on tiny pictures of people pretending to look shocked.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Not the point, and obviously not important, but nothing about that description is like EPCOT

The gross incompetence is all behind the facade.

O’Reilly - We Are Only Beginning to Understand How to Use AI with Tim O’Reilly - www.oreilly.com/radar/we-are...

New developments in the AI-ificaiton of the US government. In my view these are further steps toward building an evil computer that auto-funnels your tax dollars directly to the broligarchy. You be the judge. Here's the evidence 🧵

Finally, a united nation.

A thing that people liked most about Lincoln was that he was a collaborator, and even in the darkest of times he remained thoughtful. I’m curious what Honest Abe would think about some people using his name to promote their political agenda. Good luck America.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

The courage and nerves of steel Ariel Elias has, and the wisdom to exploit the ignorant for giving her an opportunity to launch her career with a genuine viral moment makes the long legacy of Jewish comediennes and comedians proud. I hope she laughs all the way to the bank from YouTube ad revenue.

Third in line for the presidency, can marshal the votes of the bicameral congressional majority to pass just about any bill. “Helpless”

GoFundMe has set up a page for the Texan flood victims. Each campaign has been verified by the company's Trust & Safety experts, which means you know your money is going directly to families. Please consider donating if you can. Their stories are heartbreaking. www.gofundme.com/c/act/flood-...

Would it make more sense for Apple design to make your morning meds fill up the circle at the top, since it’s the top of the day? Asking for a friend.

I’m optimistic about the @jamesgunn.bsky.social Superman film. I never had a good year for music creation. But as my kids learn and perform everything from classical to punk to rock, I’m just now noticing the John Williams theme is structured for lyrics. You need listen carefully and sing them.

Hilarious one day of the week, functional the other six. store.theonion.com/p...

Here’s the latest and it’s hard to believe. In order to secure the last GOP votes, Republicans are going to exempt from the nutrition cuts states with the HIGHEST levels of errors in their food stamp program. So the states that waste the MOST money get no cuts. Up is down.

I was struggling to remember who JD Vance reminds me of. Then it dawned me: He’s a lot like that smarmy, overly arrogant, ambitious little shit from Robocop: robocop.fandom.com/wiki/Bob_Mor...

How many EV sales that might have gone to Tesla went to competitors thanks to info shared by authentic grass roots activism sparked on @bsky.app. Not owned by the billionaire who owns the shady car company, who was also helping political corruption, and who owns X-Twitter.

Today I am eating a Fantastic Four pizza with four different flavors on one pie. You can follow along here. I can tell you right off the bat: Things have gone poorly from the moment I picked this up in the store.

Automation can speed up accessibility work, but overreliance on tools can lead to false confidence. Full accessibility still depends on human judgment, critical thinking, and skilled professionals. More: https://f.mtr.cool/kkwncrfyvc #IAAP #Accessibility #WCAG
