THANK YOU!! this is one of the two major traffic frustrations I have living in Massachusetts where everyone thinks they are being helpful and friendly but are actually slowing things down by trying to do this ALL. THE. TIME.

A colleague of mine shared this comic during a team meeting today:

Automation
https://xkcd.com/1319/

title="'Automating' comes from the roots 'auto-' meaning 'self-', and 'mating', meaning 'screwing'."

Free Speech
by
https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1357:_Free_Speech

"The 1st Amendment doesn't shield you from criticism or consequences.

“If you’re yelled at, boycotted, have your show canceled, or get banned from an internet community, your free speech rights aren’t being violated.

It’s just that the people listening think you’re an asshole,

and they’re showing you the door.”

I honestly enjoy writing good, descriptive alt text. Once you get used to it, it's no longer a chore, rather a fun exercise.

It gives you an opportunity to focus on the image you're sharing, sometimes revealing details you might miss.

It's a great writing challenge as well.

And it's just the right thing to do to help folks who rely on it.

Speaking of challenging, data visualizations are definitely up there.

It's interesting to look at how different people approach these types of charts, for example.

Turns out magnitude 15 earthquake would not cause a tsunami... Because it'd release enough energy to evaporate all water on Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3uk7jU3RHo&t=54s
