CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible: “Any person, post, article, tweet, expert, fortune cookie, company, etc., that claims its #CSS-only interactive widget is accessible is probably wrong. While it may not be intentional, it is incumbent on you to confirm the accessibility because the person making the claim often has not.” #a11y https://adrianroselli.com/2023/03/css-only-widgets-are-inaccessible.html

Second time I’ve seen it asked in two days…

No, `autocomplete` will not satisfy proposed WCAG 2.2 SC 3.3.7 Redundant Entry:

“The autocomplete feature of browsers is not considered sufficient because it is the content (the web site) that needs to provide the stored information for a redundant entry, or avoid asking for the same information again.”

Protip: if you’re writing an article about how to make some particular HTML thing more accessible, don’t include an overlay company in the “Tools and Resources” section.

While you’re at it, probably double-check that all the ARIA roles you suggest using actually exist.

Or possibly reconsider whether you should be writing a series on web accessibility in the first place.

After Nashville, Action on Assault-Style Weapons? by Jill Lawrence
Mass shootings are happening with a frequency that numbs, but Republicans are working to loosen, not tighten, gun restrictions.

I don’t know why anyone continues to put forth the hope expressed in the headline of this piece. We’re not getting anything close to this until what is currently the Republican party loses everything, at every level, repeatedly, for at least two decades.

Why do we hate the Yankees?

Money. They have enough to make Solomon BLUSH. And they’re jerks about it. Everyone has to fit the mold these days.

Also? Their fans. They made racist remarks towards our Kwan last year and they can fuck themselves for that.

Bash a man’s skills all you want. Please. God knows we do.

But you fucking well leave race out of it.
