“Watch Trump Falsely Suggest He Was Pulled from Ground Zero on 9/11” (this week)

If he continues lying about 9/11, he’s definitely lying about $5,000 pay-outs.

Avoid spanning and/or compound table headers given inconsistent support. The `headers` attribute is largely useless, but can impact the experience for Safari / VoiceOver desktop.

I’m not an etymologist, and online sources don’t all agree, but it seems reasonable that Jane Austen knew the slang meaning when this was published.

In which case, same, Jane. Same.

Considering Google’s history, it’s no surprise it continues to be a bootlicker.

MapQuest still exists. MapQuest isn’t licking at least one set of boots. Maybe switch to MapQuest.

I love where this is going, that she’s thinking about print, floats.

For love of FSM, if you do this only do it at certain viewport / zoom sizes, keep the gap decorations in the viewport, and track bugs!

I take issue with title & conflation of “AT” / screen reader (with no SR examples), but just from a readability perspective, yeah:
“How to write accessible times”

Oddly, does not mention the offensive “# minutes / hours / days ago” pattern of confusion.

Just cleared out my LinkedIn connection request queue.

I always send a note when I decline.

Few read my bio providing my parameters for connecting, saying I don’t log in often.

Even fewer realize I already sent a note explaining why I declined when they re-request.

So they get spam-blocked.

Thinking of going vegetarian.

Also sending protected wild horses to slaughter:

Now letting ranchers process the meat themselves:

Ew.

From Wednesday: “The 2.1.1 ‘specific timings’ Clause”
https://adrianroselli.com/2026/08/the-2-1-1-specific-timings-clause.html

Brief & rambly, summed up with:
• WCAG SC 2.1.1 has a clause about holding down keys;
• ignore plain-English WCAG re-tellings that miss it;
• WTF, Wayfair.

#a11y #accessibility #WCAG

In case you forgot, the partial lunar eclipse has started. Info: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5672/

518 words on the WCAG SC 2.1.1 “specific timings” clause:

That word count doesn't include the captions for the Wayfair press-and-hold button video I embedded.
