Seems like the right time to share this wonderful moment again, now with subtitles and some context at the beginning about what they were talking about before Jeff Goldblum shared a George Bernard Shaw quote with Stephen Colbert.

Not just offline. Even lot of ways, we design websites for accessibility simply improve user experience for everyone.
I once worked for a paint company website that did an upgrade for accessibility and their sales rose.

Stephen Colbertโ€™s โ€˜Late Showโ€™ canceled by CBS, to end in May 2026 CBS said in a statement that it was โ€œpurely a financial decision.โ€ The show launched with Colbert as host, executive producer and writer a decade ago.

Breaking news: โ€œThe Late Showโ€ with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026, CBS said in a statement.

The announcement came days after Colbert spoke out against the $16 million paid earlier this month by Paramount, the parent company of CBS News.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

In 2022, @propublica.org found landlords were using RealPage software to raise rents โ€” potentially in violation of laws against collusion.

Cities then moved to ban such pricing algorithms.

But now, @wsj.com reports that House Republicans are seeking to โ€œmuzzleโ€ those local efforts. THREAD
