Hey, code people, if you haven't noticed we've got a lot more disk space now than when we did in the 80's, we can fit big words like "accessibility" and "internationalisation" without having to truncate them

Would probably help with readability, or as you fuckers would probably put it "r9y"

has anyone made a utility, similar to those that exist for Twitter, for screening followers to see whom you haven't followed back, and screens those whom you follow to see who isn't following you? it'd be really useful since there doesn't seem to be _any_ way to find that out without laborious hand-checking.

Reminder: don't use "a11y". That abbreviation is ITSELF inaccessible.

Type "accessibility" out. If you absolutely won't type those nine characters, at least macro "a11y" to "accessibility". #a11y #accessibility

do you think there's a literal physical knob at twitter they can use to control how many "haha this tweet really blew up, please check out my other thing" tweets get posted every day

Forbes: "Millennials aren't having kids, and this is a problem for baby boomers' real estate and retirement"

Me: [looks at state of the world]

Me: "..."

Me: "Fuckin' serves you right."
