Hi @bsky.app @support.bsky.team I really liked when I joined how nearly all pictures had AltText. I liked how I could set a reminder to add it. I don't usually need it, but, I like to make it easy for others. Can the default be to need it and someone has to go into settings to turn the reminder off?

They KNOW his asylum case was granted under Trump. This is so irresponsible.
The Trump administration said on Thursday that it was reviewing all asylum cases that were approved under the Biden administration, signaling a broad crackdown in the wake of the shooting of two National Guard members.
U.S. Reviews Biden Asylum Cases After Shooting
A Homeland Security Department spokeswoman accused the previous administration of failing to vet asylum applicants “on a massive scale.”

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Just a reminder that Britain was a prime moved in the creation of the State of Israel. I have met a significant number of Jews who had been in the British Army in WWII and were being volun-told for Palestine and left instead. Some ended up in the US, some in Canada, Jamaica, but, not Israel.
Yes. And this is why analyses that focus singularly on greed as a motivation for oppression fall short. This will flush millions down the toilet and to them it's worth it to uphold and empire and protect zionism.

A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.
