It has come to my attention that my legitimate social media account linked in my profile is shadow banned on this site and reported as suspicious.
It is legit, active, and you should follow me on [censored] to keep up on Android Text development news.
This account is dead.

Watching people leave Twitter is disheartening. These are people that are down, jobless, living uncertainty. Many are leaving their life's work. And, yet, so many are trolling this group. Blaming them for content moderation. Calling them out as lazy. Lacking all compassion.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but calling down a legion of online harassment on your employee is most definitely the sort of thing you should seek coucil for in California.

Not _exactly_ Android:
Check out new animated emojis from noto. (Perfect for use on conference slides)

Props to @jenniferdaniel and team for the launch
Recursive is a great font for showing what variable fonts can do.
Both of these are the same font file loaded at the same font size. Everything else is variation settings.
There's a handy table of font variation settings supported by google fonts here fonts.google.com/variablefon…
Hot take: there's literally nothing stopping Americans from using metric.
It's a setting on all our phones.
Was reviewing text usage in apps for some Compose research.
I see one of you has shipped a <marquee> tag in production.
