Glass Cliff Theory holds that once the boys network have decided a CEO job is too hard or the company unsalvageable THEN they give it to a woman. And when she fails they blame it on her.

So if/when Space McAfee boasts about appointing a female CEO to Twitter, remember that.

I have a hard time having any sympathy for accessibility overlay companies even as they send public apologies.

Because other ones are trying to sue accessibility practitioners to silence them still.

Yes, different companies are different but I see similar motivations.

the sound of a ball bouncing several times in lessening heights is unmistakeable and its like totally perplexed me what was going on.

a dog. its a dog, its the owners dog pushing into the bedroom and dropping a ball to ask to be taken out to play.

Mastodon may not be perfect, but it sure has gotten pretty awesome lately. This week the community boosted a discourse on the tautological placename etymology “Torpenhow Hill”, which actually translates to “hill, hill, hill, hill”, and a one billion year time lapse animation of two galaxies colliding. We registered our collective outrage at CNN, featured amazing artwork and photography, and recognized scientist Grace Hopper, inventor of the first compiler. What’s not to love!
