#FAD

2025-12-05

Part of me dreads that it's an actual, useful, justifiable #accessibility hack that we should tolerate, because OS/browser vendors can't decide on a good solution.

Part of me hopes it's just a #fad (we have to have this too) or vanity #metric (did the user scroll all the way to the bottom?) and I can just safely ignore it.

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

There are people who resemble popular songs: they are sung for a time and then forgotten.
 
[Il y a des gens qui ressemblent aux vaudevilles, qu’on ne chante qu’un certain temps.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶211 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957)]

Yes, but it’s an unpopular opinion 😬:

A quotation from Charles Mackay

Every age has its peculiar folly; some scheme, project, or phantasy into which it plunges, spurred on either by the love of gain, the necessity of excitement, or the mere force of imitation. Failing in these, it has some madness, to which it is goaded by political or religious causes, or both combined.

Charles Mackay (1814-1889) Scottish poet, journalist, song writer
Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, “The Crusades” (1841)

Benny and Charlie have a right to be suspicious of this Labubu.

Unsolicited Advice: I say it's perfectly okay to buy what makes you happy, but it's also okay to save money. Frugality buys you freedom.

(Disclaimer: My son didn't buy this. It was given to him by a friend)

Two bi-colored male cats. Left is orange and white, right is dark tiger and white. A woman's hand holding a blue Labubu doll which is a 4 inch (10 cm) doll with a plastic face that is scowling with a clothesline teeth looking smile. It seems to be wearing a blue fluffy bunny suit. No hands or feet. The cats are smelling the doll and wondering why humans buy things that are not specifically for cats.

"So-called static pets such as stones, mango pits, paper boxes, and even toothpaste have become very popular with Chinese youths looking for low-commitment companionship to compensate for their stresfull daily lives and careers."

It's like.. do these people not learn from the BeaniBabies value implosion?

"James Welsh, from Hampshire, sees his Labubu collectable as an investment, which he tells the BBC "could probably earn a fair bit of money two or three years down the line".

He has just shy of 30 Labubus which retail at around £25 for an individual toy or £153 for a box of six." - BBC News

Hmm,

Yesterday I read about a lawsuit for #FAD headed by #NHSTA in a #Florida #TeslaLawsuit case, who's up to almost 1000+ #FAD accidents covering 30+ deaths by FAD.

Today the news is....

I also LOVE how some SMUG weirdos pretend that #ace people "suddenly" emerged out of nowhere as if it were the latest #fad.

No, sweetheart, we’re not new. Not even ace #activism is new. You just heard of our existence the first time a few days ago. This has challenged your flawed notions about #sexuality but instead of accepting new information and LEARNING, you just grasp at excuses.

It’s just anti-intellectualism, and you’re embarrassing yourselves. Not us.
