@podsaveamerica.crooked.com You guys got the MMR news wrong. It was the combined MMRV not the MMR they were removing. The separate vaccines, MMR and chickenpox, are still on the schedule just not as a single shot.

Republican Don Bacon of NE: “A bad day for America’s foreign policy. Ukraine wants independence, free markets and rule of law. It wants to be part of the West. Russia hates us and our Western values. We should be clear that we stand for freedom,” Bacon said in a Friday text message to The Hill.

Trump and Vance are so gaslighting Ukraine. What a shit show. Trump is aligning the US with Russia as we knew he would do. Trump is not a friend of Europe or even Americans. This is going to go so badly in the future.

Learning today of Matt Mullenweg's irrational decision born of deep personal insecurity to bar Joost from speaking at WC Asia. The drama Matt has wrought on the WordPress community the past five months has been so unnecessary and unproductive. A true failure of leadership.

Does anyone have robots.txt directives they are using to block the thousands of nonsense URLs that The Events Calendar generates? This garbage is driving up CPU usage on some sites. I found this: theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebas...

Elon Musk thinks he can gut the U.S. government like he gutted Twitter without facing any real consequences. He is dangerously wrong. His ransacking of the federal workforce is going to get people killed. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Let me give you a perfect example of why I think Musk’s approach is so dangerous. As everybody knows, there was a plane crash in D.C. on Wednesday. A helicopter collided with a passenger plane and almost 70 people died. When this collision occurred, the Federal Aviation Administration was leaderless. Why? Musk had Trump fire the former FAA leader as soon as he got into office, because the former leader had investigated and fined one of Musk’s companies, Starlink. This was a sheer vengeance firing. This was not about competence or even truly about political affiliation. Elon Musk was just mad at this guy for investigating his company and wanted him gone on Day 1.

Because of that, the FAA was leaderless during the biggest aviation disaster in this country since 2001. The agency had to scramble to figure out how it was going to respond to this without anyone at the top. And by the way, the day after the crash, FAA employees—including air traffic controllers, who are already badly short-staffed—got an email encouraging them to resign and find work in the private sector.

Gotta love when a client asks out of the blue: "Are links still important?" I figured out finally he was talking about backlinks and how people used to try to game Google rankings by getting friends and family to link to their site. Magical SEO thinking abounds!

Accessibility isn’t a ‘nice to have,’ a separate category of work, or solely the operating system’s responsibility. It starts with us, the developers and designers. Passing the buck creates barriers and undermines our community values. Let’s prioritize accessibility. #accessibility #WordPress

Thanks a lot for your very clever inputs 👍. I remember the WP Governance initiative you started with Rachel Cherry ~4 years ago. I was really disappointed it was put aside by Matt’s WP as I know how important it is to be transparent about conflict of interests and to share a clear code of ethics.

I read the transcript of the PI hearing for WPE. Loose translation: WPE: Tell Matt to stop picking on us. Judge: I'm inclined to grant some relief, but I need you to be more specific. Matt: Yeah, we don't know what they want, either. Oh, btw, this other case you've got going on might relate.

I forgot to add sweetener to my pumpkin pie and didn't remember until I pulled it out of the oven. After a debate with ChatGPT, I poked dozens of holes in the top with a skewer and drizzled it with 1/2 c of hot maple syrup and dissolved brown sugar. It all soaked in, and the pie was magnificent!

My mother was a lifelong spiritual seeker and collected a veritable bookstore of metaphysical, self-help, and religious tomes. Here are a few in today's sorting pile I decided to keep: A old paperback of the I-Ching, Krista Tippett Speaking on Faith, and a translation of a text central to Taoism.

I Ching, Book of Change, small dog-eared paperback; Lao Tsu's Tao Te Ching, translation by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English large paperback with ink art on cover; and Speaking of Faith by Krista Tippett

In all likelihood, if you use public bathrooms, you have shared them with trans people plenty of times, and nothing has happened, and you haven’t even known, because you don’t interrogate people who are just trying to use the restroom in peace, which is as it should be.
