My quick tutorial on adding Alt-Text to graphics that contain only text. Don't be deterred by all the steps. I gave things like "select text" and "copy text" seperate numbers, so doing this is simpler than it looks! bsky.app/profile/denv...

Everybody's assuming this will be some cod-reggae version of Saviour's Day or suchlike but I'm hoping it's going to be a twelve-minute King Tubby-style heavy dub instrumental version of Wired For Sound.

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

My local school board just banned trans kids in sports, claiming they are "protecting female athletes." Meanwhile, a football coach was caught taking photos of girls in the weight room from behind while they squat. He got a one-week paid suspension as "punishment." Fuck these assholes.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Trump's illegal tariffs were included in consumer prices, then corporations received a refund from the Treasury. Short of an orchestrated racket, it was a double-dip, win-win for corporations.

I had some apples in my very tiny freezer & needed to make space. Made my go-to favorite: apple galette. Apples lost some of their juice while defrosting & I was worried about flavor. Solution? Spread a thin layer of homemade apple butter on pastry before adding apples. Delicious. 🍽️ #whatscooking

Two ponies are giving each other a good rump scratch while five Small Humans (2 to 6?) watch on in absolute fascination. Finally, one says with scandalized outrage: "That horse is kissing the other horse's BOTTOM!" A nearby woman (40s?) laughs and says: "They do that sometimes." "BUT IT'S A BOTTOM!"

Astounding self-awareness

The right can't seem to see the distance between "I just see trans people as people" and "I will force everyone to become trans whether they want to or not, so help me God"

I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics. To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it.

It's beyond sad how people so miserable in their own lives can revere a king of misery who keeps dumping more misery on them. It's diabolically deliberate. "Sadopopulist leaders like Trump use that pain to create a story about who's actually at fault." www.salon.com/2025/03/27/s...
