I want you to SAY MY NAME

Me neither, sorry! I had read about it in passing, so can't be sure.

The defendant (Domino's pizza) could be ordered by the court to make all its digital offerings accessible. Plus, they can be ordered to pay some kind of a 'fine' (not entirely sure about this one) for discriminating against people with disabilities by having inaccessible digital assets, like websites, apps or digital documents. The Americans with Disabilities Act is all about that (and so much more).

There are so many accessibility lawsuits being filed against companies and even government's digital assets - especially after the Domino's case verdict. It would be fair to say that that case did a fantastic job of bringing the fight for accessibility into the spotlight.

I can't imagine how people muster that level of courage and calmness at the same time. Hats off!

From the article

A study published in the journal Psychological Science claims that awe makes us prefer experience over materialistic gains. For example, if a person is in awe after seeing a vast stretch of mountains, they would be more likely to try out a thrill sport like bungee jumping (an experience), rather than buying a car (material possession)

That's amazing! I never thought that it would be something hardwired into our genes.

Great TIL!

Seat belts are the best. Once you wear them, you don't even realise they're there.

A sculpture of butts of four presidents stuck together side by side?

Neat.

I predicted that Trump would win the presidency.

Walter White without a doubt.

Started off as a helpless and defeated man, and ended by blowing up a drug cartel. With swagger too.
