Making progress, particularly around finalizing and templating the controlsets needed for the container block, which is intended to be one of the most flexible, multipurpose blocks in Method v2's initial release. #WordPress

IMO, one of the highest-ROI changes that WordPress could implement in v6.9 for fostering block editor ecosystem stability would be to finalize the UnitControl component as is. It’s to useful to omit from my projects, but that __experimental prefix sure triggers some anxiety. #wordpress

The current round of Apple OS betas have seemed shockingly stable, at least for iOS and tvOS. tvOS actually fixed a longstanding issue with the remote. Still not willing to roll the dice on macOS though. Phone app crashes are annoying. Local dev environment crashes are money.

Method v2 is coming together. Just… slowly. Templated control set components and responsive styles API and pretty much squared away on the block editor side. PHP libraries for the frontend are still in progress. #wordpress

i stopped wearing red crosses more than a decade ago, because police *habitually* target medics.
this isn’t a one-off, it’s a deliberate choice they make over and over again.
it’s not “a few bad apples,” it’s widespread practice.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today.
I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children.
Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us.
One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Hello, I would like to file a police report. My own actions, namely running a 5k in the afternoon during summer in Alabama, attempted to murder me.

Based on the fact that my Mac Mini was suddenly powered off overnight and that the wireless keyboard’s battery is suddenly exhausted, pretty sure one of my cats figured out a brute-force exploit for MacOS while I was sleeping.

God it feels good to consistently be learning again. After years of building WordPress sites on the same framework, I really needed the changeups. Dev feels new again.

Elon needs to read Hot Zone and then try spewing that BS. And no, I mean actually read it, not pay someone else to do it for him. This isn’t a Path of Exile character.

Honestly, my biggest fear is that the RIAA and/or MPAA will eventually enter the fight. The mechanisms to enforce a porn ban would also make content piracy more challenging, and those orgs have never shied away from embracing dystopian tech policy for their bottom line.

People need to realize that, regardless of your view on porn, you can't have that ban without killing the open internet, or without enabling gov entities to ban things that you agree with down the line once those systems are in place. For the love of God, for once, think about downstream effects.

Finally down to the smaller items on getting up and running with a new dev workflow based around WordPress' block editor. The last few months have been a headache-filled journey, but I'm ecstatic about what we've been able to build so far. Now if Matt could just chill out and unbreak .org...

This is genius, and could easily be adapted to be a standalone reel or short for social. As creators in the adult space, we have an army, but we need to provide it with the facts about how dire the situation has become before its too late to mobilize. (pardon the war rhetoric)
Fellow Creators: I’ve started using an intro/bumper on my videos asking people to donate to @fsc.bsky.social and talking about censorship.
I’ll send you a copy of it if you want it or I encourage you to make your own. We should make people see this if they want to watch porn

The fact that you’ve angered Dolly Parton should be evidence enough that your agenda is cracked.
Indiana is suddenly cutting funding to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program — which donates age-appropriate books to children under 5.
A Republican state senator had suggested that the program might be distributing books that "indoctrinate our children"

THIS. Most problematic porn consumption is the result of being unable to have healthy, open conversations about anything dealing with sexuality in our current society. We’ve created our own monsters. But porn isn’t one of them.
So when I say porn is good, and porn is healthy, it's because sexual expression is good, and sexual expression is healthy. And records of that, pride in that, is good and healthy.
Being able to openly discuss sexuality is a sign of a healthy, society.
Being ashamed of it is not.

Finally building a FSE WordPress theme with custom dynamic blocks. Solved for needing dynamic blocks inside dynamic blocks to update, now realizing how much Method needs to be updated to support this workflow. Excited to be moving forward, just hope Gutenberg doesn’t get abandoned after all this.

I hope Elon is enjoying this. Almost as much as I’m looking forward to watching him get torn apart by the courts the second that Trump leaves office. Because unlike Trump, no Supreme Court decisions are protecting his pathetic ass from getting legally buried.
