  • I have been doing ADA compliance professionally for a while. There is no magic on this one. There’s no existing solution that doesn’t require manual interference because it requires context. Human context. It has to be understood to be understandable. There’s a few things you can do to improve overall accessibility but nothing in a suite. I specialize in InDesign and it’s probably the most powerful document solution going. But it requires a lot of work to meet the most basic of requirements.





  • I will absolutely knock the trunk or treat concept. It has removed kids from their surroundings. One key concept from trick or treating back in the day is meeting your neighbors (with the safety of your parents behind you) and briefly seeing in their houses and getting vibes. If shit went bad, I bet you’d have a safe space picked out from Halloween night to go to. And I bet you recall houses that don’t seem safe. This is important to the childhood psyche, I feel. And trunk or treat pulls that all away. And, you’re right, so do rich neighborhoods. I’m two blocks off of one those streets. They were absolutely packed on that street. We got zero trick or treaters at our place (our first Halloween here).









  • I also didn’t know about the Nazi connection, it looks like something a biker would have, which should have been a red flag to the imagery I guess, but it looks like a kind of standard skull to me otherwise.

    I have a raised eyebrow on Platner. He seems genuine. A couple of odd details admittedly. But unless he’s some kind of psyop candidate, he seems fine enough. I do wish his cover up for a Nazi symbol was much further away from the accusation than Celtic symbols.
