Just as I'm gearing up to work around some limits I'm hitting in Gutenberg, Automattic is starting back on Gutenberg AND editor comments. Which means all of those of you who I contacted frenetically about my idea of a frankenstein Office 365 + WP Blocks sync... let's wait and see.

Installed the dev beta on to my iPad, the screenshots don’t do it justice. Liquid glass legibility is effectively unchanged from Aqua IMO. The new windowing system ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Super List, my little block plugin has been updated! The latest version of #WordPress weirdly broke it and you couldn't add new list items. That's now been resolved. PLUS, you can live preview the plugin from the repo now :) wordpress.org/plugins/supe...

Got the chance to chat with Google's Kenji Baheux who has been working on Web AI APIs today! (I'm personally excited about the possibility of using on-device LLMs to screen interactions for toxicity.) Learn all about these news APIs: developer.chrome.com/docs/ai

David Pogue: “I’m wondering what your thought is on the ban on foreign students, the proposal. I mean, you were one of those kids, right?” Elon Musk: “Yeah. I mean, I think we wanna stick to, you know, the subject of the day, which is, like, spaceships, as opposed to, you know, presidential policy"

I hate how they tell you the "American Dream" is just making money. I don't know about you, but when I was a child I didn't dream of being a business guy with a good stock portfolio or whatever. I dreamt of being the Spider-Man.

similarly, in the US there are far more people working in museums than in coal mining. there are some industries that have salience as 'working people' and 'hearts of the community' (often after decades of intentional managed decline) and some that do not.

A paradox borne of the lack of left media infrastructure is that even when young men realize the rightwing manosphere is bullshit, there's no offramp. The algorithm can bury moments of clarity and replace influencers who are no longer useful. youngmenresearchinitiative.substack.com/p/i-dont-wan...
