For the crossover Simpsons episode: “A show out of ideas teams up with a show out of episodes”. Pure gold. Even if the newer Simpsons episodes are (imho) grade-A garbage, it’s strangely comforting that the writers are self-aware and self-deprecating enough to come up and stick with this.

There was also a caption at the end of that episode: https://www.theinfosphere.org/List_of_title_captions#Special...

All the quotes are in pictures with the alt text being only the number of the episode. Online accessibility at its best.

And why do tell us, should somebody who is donating their time making something silly, jump through some hoops to live up to your standards? Please send the web master a list of every alt text before you try and make it someone else's problem or complain about it.

You are pissed at me and it is part of the reason why I did it. I can duplicate the effort of the webmaster, send the alt texts, and maybe they will be cool and incorporate them in the post for the next reader. Or maybe they will say: "yeah, bro" and will promptly forget about me and my complains. On the other side, someone will be pissed at me because they feel guilt for something that they have nothing to do with. Yet, next time when they post a picture, they will try to avoid feeling bad by adding a simple picture description in their post. I will pay for this with a few down votes, but sometimes we have to take responsibility for our not so bright sides.

This is not the way to get people on board with accessibility. Open a PR and fix the issue or come up with ways to make accessibility an easier branch to reach or more common knowledge.

It is a bit funny that you are complaining from the style of my complaining. Not offering a better way to do it brings the discussion to my level, which is a bit sad. Anyways, the reason that such situations piss me so much is because of the sucker punch that they feel like. You click on something that is text, it can't be anything but text, yet someone has converted it to a picture to make it pop up easier in social…

I see from your profile that you are blind, so you're likely missing some context here. The "Opening Quotes" are more aptly described as title cards that appear at the end of each opening. Generally, the title cards are the Futurama logo with short gag-lines, although it's not entirely text as there are often visual elements as well. The images are video screengrabs of each title card, rather than something the author created.

Yep, someone else mentioned it as well. On the other side, the author has bothered to enumerate each and every one of the pictures with a caption, just the text is totally useless from a11y perspective.

I sent an email to Abhishek because the repository their website is in seems to be closed source. I've offered to send a patch via email if they can forward me the code.

My email is listed on my profile if you'd like to collaborate.

Edit: Abhishek has agreed to share the source for modification.

These are more clever than I remember, and I'm amazed at how many I don't remember at all. Favorite so far: "Not The Episode With The Dead Dog"

Watched that episode with the dead dog once. Almost cried. Never watched it again.

Just hearing the song that closed that episode makes me want to cry.

Thanks! I'd be glad to join.

Edit: However, I can't find your email. Not sure why, but in your profile there is only some quote and "Can be reached on Freenode". Is the email kodah \at freenode.net?
