Pet peeves around word pronunciation always feels vaguely classist because it’s never about how rich people pronounce things.
Oh you hate how people say “Axe” instead of ask? Well I hate how you say “vase” like you’re a 18th century British art dealer. Grow up.

`paint-order` also works on HTML text if `-webkit-text-stroke` is used to add a stroke.Both properties work in all major browsers (despite one being prefixed); Chrome was the last to add support for `paint-order` on HTML text, in release 123 earlier this year.

Move Over Influencers, Here Come Curators - by Ana Andjelic:
"Curation gives even mundane objects value by connecting them with a point of view, heritage, a subculture or purpose that makes them stand out in the vortex of speed, superficiality, and newness."
A bright spot for web— Interest in human curation is on the rise, and the art hasn’t been monetized to death. More curators, less corporate algorithms. Let’s go! https://andjelicaaa.substack.com/p/move-over-influencers-here-come-curators

#OnThisDay, 15 Dec 1838, Caroline Norton uses a pen name to publish a pamphlet campaigning for the Infant Custody Bill.
Until the bill was passed, in 1839, divorced women had no custody rights over their children as they were seen as the father's property.

Biden’s DoJ has already taken the position that the ERA has been properly ratified. So unless Biden is on the other side of that question, he has a statutory obligation to ensure that the National Archives, an executive agency, publishes the ERA. 9/

Right up to the present moment, Joe Biden, sitting President and Democrat, could take a major step to affirming U.S. women’s legal and political equality. He could order the director of the National Archives to publish the Equal Rights Amendment, which has been ratified by the requisite number of states. Publication is how the federal government makes it clear that an Amendment to the constitution has been made. 8/

I know the etiquette is evolving around this so here's my quick guide to sharing the road with self-driving cars:
If you find yourself in a city whose political leaders are corrupt and vain enough to have allowed this scourge onto their streets, you absolutely do not owe them the basic courtesy you would extend to any driver.
Bearing in mind safety and basic physics, it's perfectly fine to, for instance, not let them proceed at a stop sign; not let them merge in traffic; take the lane and bike super slow in front of them; take your sweet time in a crosswalk; accidentally leave your personal traffic cone on its hood; etc, etc. Just remember that they are recording you, should you choose to escalate your discourtesy beyond the the obnoxious-but-basically-legal.
Self-driving cars do not deserve the right of way, because rights are for sentient beings, not roving death cameras.
If you are worried whether someone is riding in back, just imagine it's Jeff Bezos and he's on his way to a very important meeting. The more inconvenient these things are to hire, the more ordinary people will choose better options, the more swiftly these businesses will fail and disappear.

Like, I just learned that airlines pay TSA employees ten bucks for each bag they pull off the belt for being too big. That CEO should have to meet me outside a saloon.
