@iChris My Vegas Golden Knights are still in, but unfortunately the Lightning are out for this year.

@sarahmatthews In short, yes, overlays are inherently bad. See: https://overlayfactsheet.com

@jan Honestly I've never been so glad to have not watched CNN in *years* as I was last night.

In reply to @opendna.

@opendna @Popehat LOL that's awesome.

In reply to @chris.

@chris Oh man I'm so sorry you're having to go through that, especially since for a lot of sighted people driver's licenses are also their form of ID. So I guess this means you can't drive for now?

In reply to @iChris.

@iChris Yeah that's us. Except it's for the entire NHL season. Can't wait for the next one to begin.

In reply to @objectinspace.

@objectinspace Yeah I saw and boosted that. That was quick.

In reply to @RossMinor.

@RossMinor Congratulations!

In reply to @objectinspace.

@objectinspace Thanks for this!

In reply to @objectinspace.

@objectinspace What does that do?

In reply to @DianaThompson.

@DianaThompson There's definitely an opportunity, I just don't know who would have the wherewithall to sustain it.

In reply to @SingingNala.

@SingingNala Yay!

In reply to @DianaThompson.

@DianaThompson Yeah that's what I'm trying to get at. Definitely modernize WP's editor. Classic absolutely has problems. But do a block editor with accessibility in mind from the get-go. That would be amazing.

In reply to @SingingNala.

@SingingNala I hope you feel better soon.

In reply to @DianaThompson.

@DianaThompson Yeah I expect it's pretty awkward for non-screen-reader-using keyboard users too.

In reply to @DianaThompson.

@DianaThompson Skiplinks could be helpful, but I honestly think the most helpful thing would be for the block editor to stop trying to be Microsoft Word on the web, because the document object model available for Word, which screen readers absolutely need, will never be available to the browser. So everything in that path is trying to reinvent a wheel you can never have.

In reply to @crankingchrisreagan.

@crankingchrisreagan I hope everything goes well with your appointment Chris.

In reply to @DianaThompson.

@DianaThompson I don't mean to suggest that the accessibility team and others aren't working hard to fix it. But it's such a complex app that trying to bold on accessibility as an afterthought will never be done, because regressions keep happening.

In reply to @DianaThompson.

@DianaThompson There have definitely been lots of accessibility improvements, but honestly the whole thing is just an efficiency nightmare while using a screen reader.

In reply to @Popehat.

@Popehat Hey at least they're not calling it rico. or saying something about shouting fire in a crowded theater.
