So I read: "The United States Senate unanimously passed a resolution declaring April 22, 2026, National Assistive Technology Awareness Day." Am I the only one who thinks why that day? Why not the 23rd when it wouldn't be overshadowed by #EarthDay. Is it just me?

@robini71 Perhaps, the idea is to lump environment and accessibility all into one day. People wanting to dum down the population and thwart progress must look for opportunities like that. You don't want the backlash from actually cancelling such events or preventing causes from being acknowledged. However, if you can put movement of sober second thought into the same day, you have a better chance of sneaking shady suff past everyone the rest of the year.

@robini71 I guess it's better than being over-shadowed by talk like a pirate day.
