Related to that last repost of Eric Bailey’s ACD effort from Lola Odelola, I’ve demonstrated that Baseline doesn’t consider accessibility (declared out of scope), which is part of why this effort is so important:

Google funds Baseline but we have to fund ACD. How appropriate.

I like how El-Sayed handles this.

I don’t think he knew this kid was a (GOP-connected Christian nationalist) plant:

For the record, I also disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. Not that anyone asked.

While baking yesterday I managed to burn the fingertips on my dominant hand. But it’s fine because I’m ambidextrous.

Also, I totally meant to put this toothbrush up my nose.

Yeah, this is administration is totally not in Putin’s pocket.

“Accessibility-first screen reader prediction” is not a solution, folks.

Parsing a DOM and building your _own_ accTree to then *emulate* how desktop screen readers _might_ announce a page as if *maybe* using read-all just ends up putting more burden on human testers.

Never mind missing the bugs, features, heuristics, and more built into a DOM parser and screen reader engine.

Unless your goal is satisfy a dashboard while removing humans from your #accessibility testing.

Aaron Gustafson made a web component for sortable tables:

I’m a fan (given many other terrible efforts). Especially the row grouping.

This explains why the product shots looked so weird on the models — plaids with perfect lines, weird folds, and odd artifacting when zoomed. The cardboard cut-out model was just the uncanny bonus.

Ok, tab closed.

(I cropped the photo to show the message buried in the bottom left.)

Trump’s new press secretary, who has repeatedly asserted she is an attorney, seemingly isn’t. Not in California, not in China.

It’s a continued requirement that you have to be unethical to work in this administration.

While I am glad I run no Google code on my site and only open Chrome for testing (and then close it again, but maybe should uninstall each time), I am such a minority as to be less than a rounding error.

It’s truly impossible to avoid Google’s porny tentacles.

I’m overdue in asking you not to rely on VoiceOver behavior as being reflective of VoiceOver behavior.

Because table sorting this time.
