    Post by Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump:

    Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER! President DJT


  • My take is that everyone does it for their own posts, it’s not actually that much effort. And it’s an amount of effort that’s worth it, to make the threadiverse a more welcoming and accessible place. If even one post I transcribe is seen by one blind or vision-impaired user, I’ll consider the work worth it.

    The fediverse broadly is already far better for accessibility than sites like Reddit and Twitter, with users in general far more likely to be aware of things they can do to promote access for users with special needs. But we can still do better, especially our threadiverse corner of the fediverse. Considering one of the reasons for outrage over Reddit dumping their API was the impact on users of blind-focused third-party apps, that’s particularly disappointing.



  • My ideal hope is that by modelling good behaviour, I can encourage more OPs to provide transcriptions themselves in the body or the alt-text field.

    If OPs take my transcriptions and edit it into the body, that’s pretty good too. Especially if more people take up the work so transcriptions get posted on posts that I don’t do myself.

    The algorithm is far too fickle for me to have even considered my comment getting upvoted to the top. Good if it happens I guess, but not in my consideration.

    The stepping vs jumping on a rake meme, showing a stock image render of a person stepping on a rake and having it smack them in the face on top, and an image of a man doing a skateboard trick with a rake below, also landing on it.

    The man stepping on a rake is captioned “programming for the first time”.

    The man performing a trick with the rake is captioned “programming for the hundredth time”.

    Clothes too dirty for the closest, but too clean for the laundry?

    Welcome to: The Chair

    “Why would they do this” meme.

    First frame shows man labelled “USA” shooting man labelled “Middle East”. Caption reads “[gunshots]”. USA is standing, while Middle East sits in a lounge chair.

    Second frame, USA turns to camera, appearing shocked.

    Third frame repeats the first frame, identically.

    There’s also the “Folkloric Block” flaw, which causes “holy symbols presented by any believer” to force you to “shrink away…or spend a Willpower point”. Even from a mortal without True Faith.

    IMO it would be more flavourful to make this flaw only work on the faith the vampire themselves had in life. Present it sort of like their own faith is what has the effect on them. But as written, it’s a limited form of the general True Faith rules.
