New study just dropped linking shingles reactivation and dementia risk.

You know what reactivates shingles? Covid.

Want to avoid it? Wear a well fitted respirator and give yourself the best odds of avoiding Covid infection.

There’s also a shingles vaccine which may help reduce risk!

AND she was wearing a shirt for Max's Kansas City, perhaps a reference to a football team someone's fiance is on...

"Jared Leto stays in character the whole time he is shooting a movie." My brother in Christ that is not the brag you think it is, because good actors can act whenever they want to and don't need to keep momentum going for fear of losing it.

For me that would be "Will Anything Happen?", but that Parallel Lines album is unfairly loaded.

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Yeah, even out of that group, he's not in the top ten.

I had high hopes for Role Model. SNL performance was underwhelming to the point of suspicion about being catfished. Oh, Tucker Harrison Pillsbury from Maine, how you have disappointed.

Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say

But nothin' comes out when they move their lips

Just a bunch of gibberish

And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Moo Deng

I dunno about "cancelling", but every time I saw their posts I kept thinking "well screw blind people I guess" and I unfollowed so I wouldn't think that any more 😀

These are beautiful! I always loved driving by Casa de Cadillac.

As I get older and deafer (who knows why), I depend on close captioning more and more, and I really appreciate being included so that I can enjoy the art. I know that's not the same as being blind, but it helps me understand!

The person can now imagine the scene and smile. They also feel included within the online community, which is important.

In my opinion, it's courteous to include a description of images that you post. If you think they have value for sighted people, it's likely that they have value for everyone.

Let's say there's a picture of a kitten peeking out of a bathtub. To a blind person, that post is a blank space. Text reader apps will provide no information about the content of that post.

If the ALT text even says "a black and white kitten peeking out of a bathtub", that's useful information.
christianlipski.bsky.social
I don't like the idea that Bluesky would sell that info, but there's not really another way for folks who can't see good to understand what's in an image.
christianlipski.bsky.social
If your account is primarily dedicated to sharing images, use alt text. Yeah, you should use it no matter what, but making your whole feed unintelligible to blind people is pretty shitty. Unfollowed.

No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead.
(And no, I'm not taking questions about this.)

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.
