When you point out things like that, those same people often accuse you of being part of an "expert class" who wants to gate-keep access to knowledge. They believe that tech owned and run by billionaires is the pinnacle of "democratization"...

Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and one of my favorite rock singers, Jørn Lande, have made an album together: youtu.be/IddUJxhDgZk?... cc @msoares.bsky.social @gilberto.codes It sounds a bit like 'Heaven&Hell' and 'The Mob Rules' (Sabbath, Dio era). I haven't been this excited about new music for years

There's been a good few sales already, happy to see that our book still interests people! 📊
Juuso Koponen📊 My and @jhilden.bsky.social’s book has been out of print for some time, as our publisher closed down its general publishing arm. We are working on a 2nd edition, but it is not going to be ready anytime soon, so we’re making the current edition available as an e-book for €9.90. payhip.com/b/zbl43

You should also be proud that this work has had some impact on practice 👍
Frank Elavsky (he/him) ⌁Biggest takeaway? It seems obvious, but making non-visual design elements visual and manipulable encouraged sighted authors to treat navigation as a proper space of design, iterating heavily and even reconsidering visual design choices as a result of working with these non-visual elements.

The suspense over Trump's speech Thursday night doesn't involve whether he will lie. Of course he will. The question is whether major media will be prepared with sharp headlines and detailed fact checks on the election of 2020. It's whether the New York Times' Euphemism Desk will be fully staffed.
