Listen to me daddy... Don't be on that food network the week of. you think you gone get some new ideas cause they are "professional chefs" you gone overthink it... Trust yourself... trust your skills feed your family

Throw away old seasoning ... Seasoning is not like the blood of the lamb... they do expire they even have expiration dates on them

About 8 betas and going on 7 RC versions... am I doing Name Your Price version 4.0 right? 🫠

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

Added site editor menu support for Nav Menu Roles! (I hope) wordpress.org/plugins/nav-... 3.0 should be available shortly

I know I say this every time, but it's true. They try to make you believe they are inevitable, when in fact they are defeatable. They do this because once people believe they will always win, there's no point fighting back.

I think my ability to distinguish between "I am feeling weirdly anxious and low today" and "I am just a person having a totally normal reaction to being alive during the 2020s" might have completely vanished.

I am going to start hosting language packs for my premium plugins at translate.backcourt.io and I built out some tooling to get my plugins to serve language packs directly from the GlotPress install there. Still a bit of a work in progress, but here we go: www.kathyisawesome.com/introducing-...

Fracking toasters

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Added site editor menu support for Nav Menu Roles finally. If anybody wants to test out the beta that would be a huge help 🙏🏻 github.com/helgatheviki...

Sure, you can use AI to build your own QuickBooks or Asana clone. But what are the drawbacks? How do you maintain it? @matthewmedeiros.bsky.social and I discussed the good and bad on @thewpminute.com. thewpminute.com/ai-built-the...

I kinda miss classic #hacktoberfest.i did that for many years in a row, apparently so many people were submitting junk PRs (esp now with AI) it got converted to some sort of in person meetup.

In light of the PHP news I'm really glad I'm not still self hosting on digital ocean. Nothing against DO, they were great at the time, I just did not want to be managing servers. @instawp is already patching all my sites.

If you self-host and run PHP on it (which is very likely) you NEED to update it later today, ASAP. A major vulnerability that affects PHP versions since 5 has been found, which allows remote code execution (very bad). You MUST retweet and share with friends who self-host. THIS IS CRITICAL. ⚠️

@angieforfl.bsky.social what are Angie's recommendations for the FL constitutional amendments?

Drop a closed restaurant that you still miss

This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times. (1/3)

@robotsensible.bsky.social looking forward to trying your admin dashboard plugin wordpress.org/plugins/doub... The WP admin is so out of date.

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

Anybody using lettuce.co ? How was your experience? I'm especially curious about the access to healthcare benefits

"I thought it worked differently than how it actually works." One of my favorite useless refund reasons. :grumpy

Can I remove some functions from 4.0 that were deprecated in 3.3 several years ago?

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

What are your go to resources for researching local candidates. In the past I've had a hard time getting any info. Like I have school board elections but who the heck are these people?

I worked with 3 different multi currency plugins today that did not have basic block wrappers for their widgets. Ugh.

Global remote nonprofit tech job klaxon: @openrxiv.bsky.social is hiring an engineering manager. You would be managing the team and tech around science journal preprint servers. They're looking for someone who can overlap with US timezones. openrxiv.applytojob.com/apply/ggcbCV...

“One night, I was on stage and there was this beautiful little girl.. looking up at me. I said, ‘Well, you’re the prettiest little thing I ever saw. What’s your name? “She said, Jolene. “I said ‘That sounds like a song. I’m going to write a song about that.’” Dolly releases “Jolene” today in ‘73

On October 13, 1994, The Mosaic Communications Corporation launched, under the name Mosaic Netscape 0.9, the first one in a series of browsers, called Netscape Navigator.

Mid week reset

My solution was to just drop a new chuck roast into the slow cooker with it. 😅

Open Office has existed for years and wasn't vibe coded with a shitty AI that some people are worshipping as a deity.

I cried over the Bear and he wasn't even my cat. One of my favorite early follows from the old site.

The MCP Adapter is now in the WordPress.org plugin repo, so you can skip the GitHub download step from my video. One line and you're done: wp plugin install mcp-adapter --activate Here’s how to use it youtu.be/n-ETaiZvHns

Could we just, like, not do fascism everywhere? Is that too much to ask?…

What can I do with leftover birria consommé? It seems like I have an awful lot and more than I'll be able to eat with my birria tacos.
