I sometimes add some snark into my alt text. Just a little easter egg for people who use readers, or check to see if it's there.
Is it me or are there more pictures without #AltText these days?
Please remember to add alt text. It doesn't take long and, like subtitles on TV, it's good for everyone. I like reading the alt text. And try not to boost things without it.
I knew those Muppets were on something.
Please welcome my very favorite hermit / anchoress @JulianNorwich1 over from the birdsite.
A wonderful person & another big win for #mastodon #FollowFriday
Well, looks like I've been laid off. Gonna take some time to get myself in order, but if anyone's looking for an experienced DevOps / Platform Engineer with a passion for developer enablement and containers, hit me up here or at hachyjobs @ kantzer dot io.
Our Editor in Chief @gabrielarana and @thenation's John Nichols are live NOW on the Your Call #Media Roundtable on KALW in the Bay Area, talking about how we saved the Texas Observer: https://www.kalw.org/show/your-call/2023-03-31/texas-observer-will-remain-open-after-staff-raises-over-300k
Yesterday,I rescued an injured #coyote here in Tahoe. Unfortunately, an x-ray revealed that someone shot the animal in the spine with a pellet gun paralyzing it. With no hope of a successful recovery, we had to euthanize the animal. What is wrong with people? I don't understand this level of cruelty!
People that torture wildlife deserve a ride to the train station. The Yellowstone train station.
Twitterβs ad revenue is down 89% and not many users are signing up to its paid subscription. In April, itβs removing βlegacyβ blue checks and further prioritizing paid accounts.
For Disconnect, I explain that Elon Musk needs this to push more users to subscribe to Twitter Blue so he can pay his $1.5 billion in annual interest payments. But it doesnβt look like thatβs going to happen.

If you look at the people convinced they're getting into heaven, you'll understand the gates are there to keep them in. Heaven *is* a bad neighborhood.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
