The Trump administration has forbidden the CDC from using the following words in official documents:

vulnerable
entitlement
diversity
transgender
fetus
evidence-based
science-based

No, I'm not making this up: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/cdc-gets-list-of-forbidden-words-fetus-transgender-diversity/2017/12/15/f503837a-e1cf-11e7-89e8-edec16379010_story.html

BUT THE RECEPTION WAS INCREDIBLE

...after all, there’s no taste like Holmes’s for the hollandaise.

The general consensus seems to be:

1) 20th Century Fox owns the "Alien" franchise.
2) "Alien" xenomorphs are born from a Queen.
3) Disney is buying 20th Century Fox.
Therefore
4) Xenomorphs are Disney princesses.

There's an easy way to get just a little better at accessibility:

1) Get a text expander. In OS X and iOS you can do this natively in System Preferences > Keyboard; I'm not sure about other OSes.
2) Create the following replacements:

"i18n" -> "internationalization"
"l10n" -> "localization"
"a11y" -> "accessibility"

Now you can type your shorthand AND be read by people who aren't fluent in Lazy Jargon.

Loitering: the act of existing in a capitalist space without succumbing to capitalism

Two children have just completed a task. Both are praised for completing it.

Child 1 hears: "You're so smart, good job!"

Child 2 hears: "You did such good work, good job!"

They feel roughly the same, but there's a substantial difference. Consider the implications:

Child 1 hears: "You have an innate ability that allowed you to complete this task."

Child 2 hears: "You did a lot of work that allowed you to complete this task."

Now do you see the difference?
