Thanks, Lisa!

There's a special place in hell for people who post the closed captions in all capital letters. When you are reading braille, whether a letter is capitalized or not is indicated by a capital sign, and if everything is in THERE are multiple capital signs that take up a bunch of space on the braille display and when you're working with only 40 cells and eight of those cells are taken up with information relating to capitalization, it is incredibly frustrating! Anyway, these are the things that I think about during #DeafBlindMovieNight

@gottalaff.bsky.social . She was really pretty, but also a nasty piece of work, extremely racist and homophobic. Even married someone from the extreme right wing Front National. Had several convictions but never did a day in prison. For us Europeans this was all well known

Latest update on the Groq “licensing deal” is that 90% of its employees are joining Nvidia. While this is good news for most employees, this sounds like a regular acquisition at this point.

10% of the remaining employers can’t reasonably be claimed to be running the leftover company.

2/ Well crap. I did not know this, via WaPo: “In a life as unsettled as it was unsettling, Ms. Bardot turned politically to the far right and became an incendiary commenter on Muslims, immigrants and gays.”

I'm having a difficult time knowing what to say. An older close relative is upset about current extreme weather events around the world.

I truly feel for them. But the unhelpful part of me is thinking "what did you think I was talking about when I said -for years- that the climate situation was dire, and as such, started taking personal action".

This relative doesn't believe me unless it's on the news, so it won't be helpful to send back information on climate action.
