At one point I think they proposed allowing emoji characters in domains and sometimes I still think about all the rude little domains I'd register for giggles

Writing alt text is not a burden. Every alt text is an opportunity to make another joke while thoughtfully explaining the image. It's a post within a poast.

A brief thread on alt-text.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Just finished season 2 of Peacemaker. Season 1 of Peacemaker was top notch.

Prove the value of AI to me: Give me the entire run of Person of Interest with an AI stand-in for Jim Caviezel. I want to rewatch it so hard but can't bring myself to do it.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Interesting. I got it on sale a while back and it's been chilling in my backlog. I'll break it out and give it a run.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."
