Been OOO for a while. Figures I'd miss the critical decisions.

Just curious... is it required now that every third movie released by Hollywood now features Sydney Sweeney?

Deeply underrated talent.

That cannot be a good thing

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

I'd been missing some audiobooks that I cannot find from my library and I refuse to do Amazon, obvi. I'm thrilled with using Libro and even better - it benefits my favorite indie bookshop. You can choose your fav, too! If you #booktok folks want to try it out: libro.fm/referral?rf_...

The Long Con: How Matt Mullenweg Used the WordPress Community to Build His For-Profit Empire More than two decades ago, WordPress was born as a humble open-source blogging tool. Its co-founder, Matt Mullenweg, quickly became a…

I've been thinking quite a lot about why @ma.tt's actions about all this has bothered me so and it all came together this past week. I was writing about it and then the news of FAIR broke - and bam.

New FAIR Project Aims to Decentralize WordPress.org Services, Backed by Linux Foundation and Hundreds of Contributors A coalition of WordPress contributors, open source organizations and businesses have launched a project they hope will reshape how WordPress sites connect to the wider ecosystem — and remove dependenc...

Many have called for Mullenweg to step down or be removed from the project. That's not going to happen. In what may be the longest con in open source history we've all learned he controls it all. Making him *irrelevant* to the project is the next best thing. #wpdrama #wpterrorism

Backed by the @linuxfoundation.org and hundreds of contributors the project was coordinated by @joost.blog and @marucchi.com with an all-star technical steering committee of @ipstenu.org @cdils.bsky.social and @rmccue.io. This is a huge step in a great direction #wpdrama #WCEU2025

Bombshell news out of the
@altctrl.org event alongside #WCEU: FAIR (Federated and Independent Repositories) introduces a #wordpress package manager in an aim to fully decentralize & futureproof WP by insulating the ecosystem from the anti-competitive whims of

I'm in Mac right now and had a very similar thought driving down 99w.

Pillion A timid man is swept off his feet when an enigmatic, impossibly handsome biker takes him on as his submissive.

WUT? What world are we living in that Harry Melling (Dudley Dursley) has glowed up to the point of being a submissive to Alexander Skarsgard? I LOVE this (one aspect of this hellscape of a) timeline. a24films.com/films/pillion

It’s a Maison thing, you wouldn’t understand. Automattic was the darling of distributed work long before the pandemic. The company was also innovative in the way they interviewed…

Automattic adopts a new organizational naming model from luxury powerhouse LVMH that seems wildly tone-deaf after blaming “feedback inflation” for recent layoff. Has a faint whiff of re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic to me. medium.com/@kelliepeter...

Damn it #chloefineman I was not prepared to like you outside of SNL but flippin' hell if #summerof69 wasn't delightful and that's in no small part because of you. I hope you're happy. ;)

With every bit of due respect to Andie MacDowell, I'm continually stunned by the choices and the performances of Margaret Qualley. I'll be spending the next three months waiting fro this release in her back catalog.

It's truly astonishing how far @ma.tt will go to paint himself as the victim and claim the moral high ground. Using the death of #PopeFrancis seems a weird flex. www.linkedin.com/posts/kellie...

THE ROSES | Official Trailer | Searchlight Pictures YouTube video by SearchlightPictures

I'm pretty sure I would have bet my life that I'd never be anxiously awaiting a Benedict Cumberbatch or Olivia Coleman film, but fuck if I'm not all in on The Roses. And now I'm off to watch War of the Roses in preparation. #filmsky

Worked on my first mosaic project yesterday. Anyone who knows me will not be surprised that I found it quite soothing and that I was also a bit of a perfectionist with placement.

For a place where communication = oxygen they've become rather oxygen starved. Heads up to any one still there or any journalists who might be talking to folks - don't get anyone fired!

TIL That Automattic P2 has a neat new feature! Last year they added nearly invisible watermarks which are unique to each employee. Cool, cool, cool. Other collaboration platforms have it. But... they didn't announce it. #wpdrama #wordpressterrorism #trustnoone

#wpdrama | Kellie Peterson A master class in how *not* to lead through crisis is continuing at Automattic and it's rough to watch. After Matt Mullenweg sets off a firestorm by going "scorched earth" on WP Engine...

Worth remembering how many people in senior roles left during the first buyout as well. The brain drain at Automattic / Wordpress.com is real. #wpdrama

Screenwriters of Bluesky I have a challenge for you:

Can you please stop mining cancer for material? It would be great to be able to watch some of my favorite performers with my cancer surviving wife without having cancer be the thing all the time. It's exhausting.

While I'm crying over my stock portfolio I'm at least comforted by the fact that my USD are netting me a good exchange at the moment. 🤢
