Why is a8c matching who they perceive to be the worst in the space?
Why is “community” in quotes?

Does anyone know when the #Automattic vs #WPEngine injunction proceedings will... proceed?
The dueling orders are available, but I found the judge's calendar online and it does not mention the case at all?
No idea how these things work. Getting mild #WPDrama withdrawal symptoms 😉.
