I have a question regarding #accessibility and #AltText / #ImageDescription / #MediaDescription.

I need to come up with an image description for the attached image for my job. I'm at a complete loss. This is alt text nightmare mode.

Are there established methods for describing complex figures such as this one?

I would be very happy about some input from people who actually need image descriptions.

Of course, on the artist's Facebook post for this comic, there is a reply guy saying "Well actually, the term gaslighting wasn't about gas lighters..."

I asked my good friend @david_chisnall if there is a commonly known slang to describe a massive propagated error. He replied with one word - and nailed it:

I remember in the mid ‘90s, Bill Gates said something like ‘if the car industry had improved at the same rate as the computer industry, cars would go at a thousand miles per hour and get thousands of miles per gallon’ and someone at a car manufacturer replied that their customers are quite glad that the cars don’t crash several times a day.

I am starting to wonder if Tesla is an elaborate piece of performance art in support of this joke.
