Not to mention that the best case scenario for even the most able-bodied is “live long enough to become disabled“.

By the way your glasses are disability accommodations too.

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

I like our Subaru but I love my mini countryman. More zoom than the subie’s sport mode and itll fit 20 cubit feet of bagged mulch plus plants inside. In other news I’m not allowed at Lowe’s unsupervised anymore per husband 🤣

Dear all the people naming shopping centers: you can’t be a “town square” if you’re a strip mall going down the side of a highway

Friend: I need a food for a party which is gluten free, vegan, easy to snack on in the living room as compared to sitting around a table, and obviously Irish for an event.
Me: Whiskey.
Her: No. Bad.

And while I’m being a pest is there a page for the paladin series because I want to actively pummel my friends until they stop reading the news and start reading good stuff

A page about books for kids where some content is duplicated and other content is overlapping. It’s unreadable.

“History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

They are an absolute godsend in the hospital. But most of the time they’re dumped right in the toilet there. They don’t pour well to transfer to a bottle unfortunately. They should fix that.

Omg no, you’re not going to make Anthropic into “resistance tech.” Nope nope nope

I keep thinking “what if they played a reverse card on this one? I have friends in the DC area.”

Then I heard it’s all being done in mar-a-lago and I would miss that building.

On convoluted hiring processes "Hire slow and fire fast," yes. I absolutely agree that you should keep the quality bar high and don't just jump at "good enough." But you don't need multiple portfolio reviews and whiteboards to figu...

By the by, as we start to scream in horror that Claude has blood on its hands from the Iranian war, remember that Cisco, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google provided the tech that helped the IDF do a genocide

It would be cool if @lizardbethart.bsky.social had the ability and time to update topatoco.com/products/rw-... with the “newer” phrase.

Dear Apple, you'd probably sell a lot more hardware if you'd put the damn birth date of the damn computer in the damn hardware overview instead of giving me a model identifier I have to go look up. You know what it is. You have the serial number.

1Password has been the one password vault that's been the strongest and safest cross-device. And now they're hiking prices for "AI"
