I've had these broken Kahtoola links on my desk since the pandemic winter. It did not take long to grind down the links. In one spot the steel is paper thin. cmt.blog/2025/05/06/k...

Please bear with me while I use OpenVibe across lots of accounts! It's been getting better and better, and it lets me get all the social media worth having in one place, but the writing/editing/replying interface leaves a lot for future improvements. If I double post something, that's why.

I had the honor of being interviewed by the PublishPress podcast about building a community and creating content (two of my favorite topics!). It was a fun discussion, and we got to chat about some things I don't get to speak on too often: youtu.be/oThwBJLM4zg?...

This isn’t new to anyone who taught university students in the last 30 years. The warnings about literacy, critical thinking, and meaningful grading standards go back 50 years. I’m surprised Idiocracy took so long.

It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured ignorance that did it.

POSSE from #wordpress works, but then I need ORFOC: only read friends/follows in own context.

OpenVibe could get me using Mastodon and BlueSky more, but what I'd really like is Texts on mobile. Merging the two would make a lot of sense. Afraid it would end up like Hootsuite/Tweetdeck though. Difficult for personal use due to context switching.

We spoke with Chris Hardie for the PublishPress podcast, and he explained what it's like to run a newspaper day-to-day. Makes being a WordPress developer look very easy 😅

We've been moving sites from WP Engine to Kinsta and I'm consistently blown away by the speed. The speed in the dashboard and especially the speed of navigating the site via shell and running WP-CLI commands. Speed (and sales tactics) have been the top client complaints with WPE recently.
