Just loved running into @dontcallmeDOM’s 2002 and @karlcow’s 2006 articles of that name, https://www.w3.org/QA/2002/07/WebAgency-Requirements and https://www.w3.org/blog/2006/buy-standards-compliant-web-si/.

They represent a spirit that has been missing for years—staying close to the standards by not only using new features but ensuring one used them right.

#LizCarr has stepped away from acting to advocate against the legalization of assisted suicide. Her latest #documentary, "Better Off Dead?", explores the implications of such laws, focusing on how they endanger disabled individuals.

Travelling to Canada, Carr investigates the effects of permissive assisted suicide laws. There not only the terminally ill can opt for a medically assisted death. This practice is even extended to those facing social deprivation, presenting a grave ethical dilemma.

In Britain, Carr meets with staunch opponents, including Baroness Jane Campbell, who shares a personal story of having a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order placed on her without consent.
