"I have no idea why corporate PR departments insist on taking those pictures."
"I am a mildly unethical curator, not a monster."

"For some reason, Twitter does not make exposing the alt-text captions easy, but if you dig through the source or install the right software, you will not be rewarded for your efforts with anything remotely interesting."
"It's an important principle that vision-impaired people have as much right to be bored as visually abled people. I have written the phrase 'the walls are beige and the lighting is fluorescent' many thousands of times."
