When you're at a party but it's starting to get too loud and then some rich DB shows up with his incel toadie friends and stinks up the place with Axe body spray... that's maybe what it feels like here, so I'm taking a step back from Twitter for a little bit.

This is what I've been saying about Tumblr which is that I would've loved it 15 years ago (many of my friends did when it launched) but I don't see it as a viable replacement for Twitter because it looks like the Sanrio Surprises of social media platforms. Not bad just different.

Actually half of @tumblr’s user base today is under the age of 25.

This is cool BUT if Tumblr is going to eventually move its infrastructure to WordPress, why not start by pushing WordPress to natively support indieweb features like ActivityPub first? (Honest question because I'm not that smart.)

Come to @tumblr. We'll add activitypub for interconnect. Don't stress.

I’ve seen a lot of messages saying it doesn’t really matter what Mastodon server you pick. Uhm… ⚠️ Remember that server admins can see: - Your DMs (unencrypted) - Your IP address - Your email address Oh, and they can delete your account too if they ever feel like…

My kids are watching The Santa Claus reboot/series and it’s as bad as you’d expect it to be. The opening scene is that Santa can’t get up the chimney. And if you’re wondering, yes the premise that Santa can’t “get it up” keeps coming up and seems to be the main plot.

People are literally posting on here like they’re signing your yearbook after graduation. It’s been great! K.I.T!

Mom has 8 yo walk 1/2 mile home. Cops called. One asks: "Would you do this again?" "I said, 'I don't know,'" recalls Wallace. "That's when the cop replied, 'Okay, I'm going to have to arrest you.'" He proceeded to handcuff her in front of the kids.

Twitter's owner destroying Twitter by using Twitter to publicly argue with and fire his Twitter employees is wild. He's doing a great job of filtering the team down to just the sycophants, instead of actually respecting the ones who used the actual tool to confront power.

Super excited about this episode (and my corresponding article coming this week) where I got to dig into WordPress agency stuff in the era of "block editing" with Cory and Phil.

Interesting conversation between and from the perspective of a web development agency who has gone pretty deep on block editing for client sites. If you're in the WP agency space, I would take some time to listen.

On the podcast today we have Fränk Klein. He's a principal developer at Human Made, an enterprise WordPress agency. We chat about how he sees the adoption of Gutenberg as inevitable and why you should learn the new tools that this future requires. wptavern.com/podcast/50-fra

Someone pointed out that "all my cool, creative friends from high school" sounds like a humblebrag but I just mean _cool to me_ NOT to the student population at large. We spent a lot of our lunch period in the library learning Geocities and discussing Neon Genesis Evangelion ok?

Spending a little bit of time with Laravel/Livewire instead of WordPress is sort of mind-blowing. They obviously serve different goals but the attention to detail, the intuitive tooling, the documentation, the way things “just work”- Laravel is a lot of fun.

I'm definitely not a 'best voice in WordPress' ( literally opened MasterWP with "It's morphin time" today. I can't top that.) But I can't deny the quality of this meme. I rate this meme 100% Fresh.

Nov 9th I am thankful for the most awesome techie 🐐! Sensei @briancoords. You are one of the best voices in WordPress/tech and it is a honor to be able to work with you! Thank you for the wisdom, the laughs, and the help one day when I finally move to California 🤣
Explaining to my mom meme: on the left it says “me losing it because of gulp and node.”
On the right it says “Brian” with a person with a concerned look

Anyone else starting to feel that "death by a thousand SaaS subscriptions" any time they make something creative online? Just doing the mental calculations of whether I'm saving enough time or money is going to drive me crazy.

It’s like when you have a substitute teacher in middle school and you keep switching seats when they’re not looking. He’s about to make us wait two minutes after the bell rings before he lets us go to lunch.

Holy cow he really showed up with nothing 😂 not even a tiny idea of what to actually do. Like he didn’t even do the reading assignment or basic homework and just thought he’d wing it 😂 I honestly thought he had… something. “Permanently suspended” is a solid oxymoron.
Quote Tweet
Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended
