Free idea: give me an option to turn the video game dogs hunting my character into another character so they don’t freak out my actual dogs. Looking at you, The Last of Us Part II and Indiana Jones and the Golden Circle #gamedev

Skilled technologists are being forced out of government 18F and USDS are gutted by DOGE

Perspective | Grief, disability and a musical for people who can’t go to a theater An artist in California and a theater company in D.C. plan to create a theatrical experience rooted in radical accessibility. But first, they need help.

A play about disability justice and "radical accessibility," featuring disabled artists, XR-enabled accessibility, and a telepresence robot? This is extremely relevant to my interests. wapo.st/3Ok2Z5p

The Denver metro area's paratransit program looks incredible. Sixty subsidized rides per month on Uber, Lyft, or taxi. Is there anywhere else in the US that has a program this flexible? www.rtd-denver.com/other-servic...

Love to see disabled twentysomethings getting out, taking up space, being social and owning the night. This is awesome. www.latimes.com/lifestyle/st...

The first episode of Drops of God on Apple TV+ is enchanting.

How's it feel, Zillow? I'm not the only one who's broke.

I’ve only been playing sled hockey since 2016. I’m a scrub. But one thing they drilled into us: never take your helmet off on the ice, and always wear a neck guard. This was a tragic and avoidable accident. www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/...

I don’t know. This could be a fun thing to research or make.

Do you love horror movies? Does your disability give you a wicked startle reflex that makes jump scares physically uncomfortable, but you watch them anyway? Maybe this site will be useful for you! wheresthejump.com

Spider-Man 2 (PS5) is very good. The games industry continues to create some of the most accessible digital experiences I’ve ever had.

Gallaudet unveils football helmet for deaf, hard-of-hearing QBs - ESPN AT&T and Gallaudet University have developed a football helmet to assist deaf or hard-of-hearing QBs who communicate using American Sign Language.

This is the coolest thing. The Gallaudet quarterback will wear an AR display on his helmet. It enables the coach to relay the play visually, and to signal for the QB's attention.

Someone ought to build a HUD that highlights the open receiver for Mac Jones. www.espn.com/college-foot...

If you can be anything, be kind. Unless you can be Beyoncé. But with all due respect to the 🐐, star power isn’t a scalable solution to inaccessibility.

Currently live-streaming the Crossroads Guitar Festival. Of all the interactions that the internet has enabled, “attending concerts from the comfort of your living room” is among my very favorite.

It’s a quote from Ken in the Barbie movie! That movie is …a lot. There’s a profound commentary on modern masculinity somewhere in there, but it’s also just kinda great in its own right.

My job is beach.

Cool!

Oooh! a) that’s awesome. b) what ink are you getting?

I’ve installed the developer beta of macOS Sonoma. I’m pleased to find that “Show Names” has been added to Voice Control on Mac. I’ve been waiting decades for this. “What you see is what you say,” except… now I can be sure what I need to say. #a11y

I somehow activated m.Facebook.com on mobile Safari. How do I return to Facebook.com? I tried requesting the desktop site. I tried deleting the website history. I tried deleting my entire browser history. Whatever I did, it’s persistent. How do I deactivate m.Facebook.com in the Facebook UI?

Be insistent. Thank you, Molly.

I just saw a chicken cross the road. This is the first time I’ve observed this phenomenon in the continental US.

I don’t have a punchline here. Give me your best shot.

My pleasure, and great to e-meet you, too! I did a quick test on iPhone and added to your report. I hope it helps - and thank you for filing the issue!

Hi @pfrazee.com, I'd like to +1 this excellent bug report from @ashleemboyer.com. The aria-label on the New Post button means I have to say "Compose Post" to use it. Matching the accessible name to the visible label will be a huge usability improvement for speech recognition users like me.

Accessibility or GTFO with your adjectives.

Try: "enhanced," "refined," "luxurious," "opulent" "dignified," "majestic," "magnificent" "regal," "princely," "glorious," "distinguished," "fine," "superior," or "exquisite."

Dear listing agents: please stop using "elevated" in your descriptions. The only thing I want to know when I search for "elevate" is if your home has an elevator.

Yeah. Intellectually, I get it. But the Red Sox had the audacity to sell his departure as “We know he’s a generational talent, but John Henry can’t afford the luxury tax.” Yikes.
