I’m in a PotO4PotO (Phantom of the Opera for Phantom of the Opera) relationship. We’re always competing for whose soul is more tortured and who gets to unmask his hideous visage first. We live in adjacent underground lakes beneath the same opera house.

We only recently became aware of each other, after months of narrow misses while conducting opera ghost business. I have more candelabras than he does. He doesn’t even have a waterfall down here

this is a very good article but I particularly appreciate that they archived Ask Jesus

In some cases, it even pulled down entire publications. Bible Scriptures, a site where BBM had published content attributed to a roster of fake Christian theologians, hosted an AI-powered Jesus, and sold a $97 e-book supposedly penned by a made-up Franciscan scholar clad in a traditional robe — a curious choice, given that Franciscans famously take vows of poverty — has been locked behind a password since May. (BBM sold several other e-books attributed to fake writers on its site Hack Spirit; those volumes are still being sold, but they’ve now been altered so that the author is listed as Lachlan.)

Automattic statement: "Matt Mullenweg is currently on leave from Automattic. Mark Davies, Automattic’s CFO, will lead the company as interim CEO. The Board has full confidence in Mark's leadership and in the team's ability to execute against the company's priorities."

That’s surprising didn’t he own a majority of the company? Is this like how Steve Jobs was ousted from apple?

Although he owns a good bit and currently has proxy votes for some investors, their board structure gives each board member one vote regardless of their ownership percentage.

I imagine his next move will be to call a shareholders meeting in an attempt to replace the board.

I don't know. VCs are smart. Since they agreed to dual-class shares, they may have contractual agreements that prevent that.

I can fill seats on the board whenever I want, but that's not the point.

@automattic
! I'm on the board there and fully support Mark Davies in his interim CEO role. But I think it's probably good if I move some of my stuff currently hosted there, elsewhere.

People are so unaware of their own motives. I have almost never seen widespread moral condemnation of a piece of media that, the moment you scratch the surface of the criticism, didn’t turn out to be because of personal grievance, resentment of popularity, and subjective taste.

Canadian History Ehx @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

It is Pride Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories of how Canadians fought for equality. Today it is the story of John Herbert.

Pride Month graphic featuring a black-and-white portrait of Canadian playwright John Herbert beside text about his 1940s arrest in Toronto, his imprisonment, and how that experience inspired his 1964 play *Fortune and Men’s Eyes*. The graphic notes that the play became one of the most widely produced in Canadian theatre history and was adapted into a film in 1971. Bottom banner reads: “John Herbert (1926–2001).”

I don't really mean this in a good way. I think the people that succeed in creative careers are outliers, because they're freakishly committed.

been having the kind of conversation that feels like Hypnosis by Sascha Schneider (1904)

Etching. Two figures. Mysterious, imposing, robed figure looming over a nude young man. Beam of light emanating from the eyes of the robed figure, shining directly on the face of the man in his grasp.
