Any meaningful UX testing in 2023 needs to account for ad blockers and password managers.

If your site or app doesn’t work with popular ad blockers, or it refuses to allow logins pasted in from password managers, it’s broken.

Yes, some executive type will want to argue about this because they think ad blocking will go away or they misunderstood some now outdated infosec guidance. They’re wrong. Users use ad blockers and password managers and if your stuff doesn’t work with them, it’s broken.

You cannot tell me there is no racism in America when shit like this happens. This is why we have #MMIW...

Meanwhile in America: #Indigenous Americans are about to become the next genocide with the overturning of #ICWA in June by the supreme court.

And I'm asking everyone: ARE YOU GOING TO STAND BY AND LET THIS HAPPEN AND BE COMPLICIT? OR ARE YOU GOING TO ACTUALLY HELP US OUT??? WE NEED EVERYONE TO GET BEHIND US! SHOW YOUR SUPPORT! TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!

Boy or property of the state?

Before you install the new #ChatGPT app on iOS, ask yourself: what's the worst thing the maker of the world's greatest bullshit machine could do with this kind of information, and why are they requesting it?

Nation's largest publisher files lawsuit challenging Florida county's book bans - UPI.com https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/05/17/penguin-random-house-pen-america-florida-book-bans/8841684348620/

Free-speech group PEN America and publisher Penguin Random House filed a lawsuit on Wednesday in federal court, challenging book bans...

...lawsuit alleges that...Florida's Escambia County School District have violated the First and 14th amendments...say the books that are being banned are "disproportionately books by non-white and/or LGBTQ+ authors."

A true legend has passed. Tina Turner has died at the age of 83. She was our River Deep and our Mountain High, the Private Dancer in our hearts. She showed us that love really does has everything to do with it, and that we really did need another hero. And she was it. Rest now, Proud Mary. Raise your voice high in the heavens. Your were always simply The Best.

If you are so freaked out by merchandise not meant for you like glasses that say "Cheers Queers" and especially swimsuits made for trans women, just shop at Hobby Lobby. Don't threaten Target employees and make up rumors. (And even if the store were selling bathing suits for trans children, so what? It's no one's business if a child is trans except their family's and trans kids are allowed to have swimsuits too.)

Tech speakers, it's 2023. Stop using moms as your example of a non-technical audience. It's wrong, its not funny, and whatever you were saying, now most of your audience is not thinking about it.

Just use the exec team as an example instead and get on with your life.

Make sure any Republicans that you know are aware that Apple is totally woke and pro-LGBTQ+. We also want to see proof of them smashing their devices. 😀

Elon Musk is doing his level best to make STEM not just uncool, but associate it with fascism.

Data suggests family dramas bear a less than 10 percent resemblance to actual human families, which is unsurprising and also a relief, considering all the murders.

Ineffable that @neilhimself would announce the #GoodOmens season 2 date in a Billie Eyelash Good Omens fan parody.

I don’t know why everyone suddenly has amnesia about the fact that #CNN was bought by a conservative asshole & is just hoping you won’t notice long enough to radicalize you based on the network’s former reputation, inertia, & brand loyalty.

Nothing like #Twitter, of course.

Thinking about this post on how company cultures don't recover from management fuckery, and yeah, this is another reason to unionize before fuckery happens.

Nobody is born a homophobe.
They're groomed to be that way.
