Here's what bugs me:

If I were sued by FTX for millions, I *promise* you, SELand, SEJournal, SERoundtable, and the rest would have articles up within hours.

When I was in SEO, I published articles where a single number didn't have the correct citation and been blasted harder than this... 🤔
In a clever bit of Reputation Management, Neil Patel wants to tell you about the time he was sued... in 2011

He most likely doesn't want you to know about his most recent case

It's a truly remarkable story of SEO, contracts, deliverables, and ultimately, bankruptcy

Had fun writing my unfiltered thoughts after a long time
At @humanmade.fyi, we're promoting content written by actual humans, not AI slop. Our latest post by Osama Tahir (@otahir.bsky.social) is a meditation on perfection and the inherent contradiction in AI content.

Ethnic cleansing is a word from an oppressors language. You can't euphemize wanton mass murder and torture of an entire population, as if a land needed to be "purified" from their presence. Horrifying acts must only be described by horrifying language. We owe at least that to victims of genocide.

I just cannot put a name to this feeling of having outlived my brother by the years I've lived. I think this would've been your 40th birthday. So many things you deserved to see. So many things I wanted to show you. No matter how many years pass, there's no filling the hole you've left behind
