this right here is why I went more into the web accesibility dev space and not into journalism. Had I graduated college now, 10 years later, maybe I would have found more hope in it.

28 episodes of the O’Reilly Factor included a Kansas doctor who performed abortions named George Tiller. In 1993 he was shot five times by an anti-abortion extremist. In 2009 he was assassinated. Fox News killed that man, they know they did, and they’re trying to do it again. – at Washington, DC

the depp-heard verdict & the abortion bans & the pro-ana TikToks & the submissive tradwife content & the "i don't want to think i just want to be hot" bimbo comeback & kim kardashian telling the nytimes she would eat *literal shit* if it made her look younger are all connected

Hundreds of thousands of Israeli 18 year olds handle heavy weaponry, they have mandatory 24 hour access to guns. The difference is they are trained. Trained in the proper use and trained to respect the weapon. There’s a lack of respect for weapons in the USA. Sue me, it’s true.

If you want just a small taste of the glee with which Taylor Hawkins approached music/life, watch his interview in the Alanis Morissette doc Jagged. Pure joy.

If there’s one thing these lawmakers should know, it’s that this move will only weaken privacy and security in Europe.
EU lawmakers reach a provisional agreement on the DMA, which will mandate messaging service interoperability, prohibit self-preferencing practices, and more (@samuelstolton / Politico)

No idea why my alttext didn’t appear. My apologies.

And now, @AliBradleyTV has obtained a similar email that went out to Border Patrol agents in Del Rio sector, also authorizing mass parole releases of Cubans, Venezuelans, & Nicaraguans, just like RGV.

NEW: (1/3) A DHS source in RGV sector tells me the federal gov has started mass releasing Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, & some Colombians via *parole* after this email went out on Sunday notifying BP agents that HQ had authorized the move “effective immediately.” @FoxNews

Here’s your reminder that 34 Senate seats are up for re-election in November, and 20 of those are Republicans. There is a chance to send several GOP Senators packing, or to pick up empty seats and make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant.

When we say "shift left" for accessibility people naturally think "earlier."
Yes, earlier is important, but this isn't solely about timing.
It's about shifting accountability and responsibility to not rest with one role, and make it everyone's job.
