In case you didn’t know (and there’s literally no reason you should!), I was laid off on September 19. I posted about it over on 𝕏 and LinkedIn, but I thought I should mention something here, too!

So, now that the news portion of the show is out of the way, here’s my #SEO job search update... 👋🏼

Over on LinkedIn, Brian Grim asked this interesting question:

❝What does faith have to offer when considering the ethical dimensions of AI?❞

My eldest daughter went to the Grand Rapids #comiccon displaying as Ellie from the Last of Us (the video game version of Ellie).

It was so good my dog freaked out and protected the family from her!

I just created my fledgling #SEO Experts list. You can follow the list itself, or the good folks thereon.

There’s probably 300 or so SEOs on it now, but it will grow over time…my similar 𝕏/Twitter list has over 2.6K members.

Let’s see how this goes!

New from me: I wrote about how search algorithms have created a web full of content and words for Google, not humans. We made a fake lizard website to show you what has happened over 25 yrs.

The visuals are beautiful. I’m so proud to work with such talented people! www.theverge.com/c/23998379/g...
