Chronic pain, of any kind, mental physical emotional, destroys life I don’t care if it’s a broken heart or a cavity in a tooth, if you are suffering, you cannot thrive

Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents. He is a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people. We expect this will quickly become core to our product offerings. OpenClaw will live in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support. The future is going to be extremely multi-agent and it's important to us to support open source as part of that.

I also think @openclaw is not the best name for Clawdbot but what if we backronym it? Modular Open Life Tool Or do you have a better one?

Your WordPress site is hoarding thousands of images you've never seen. Every time you upload a photo, WordPress secretly creates 5-10 different size variations. Thumbnails. Medium. Large. Custom theme sizes. Most of them? Never used. Not once. A site with 5,000 images can easily have 20,000+ unused image files sitting on your server right now. This wasted storage space inflates your backups. Slows down migrations. And quietly drains your hosting budget. The worst part? You can't manually fix this. Sorting through thousands of files to figure out which ones are safe to delete would take days. Maybe weeks. That's exactly why my team Duplicator (@duplicatorwp) built WP Media Cleanup. In 1-click, it scans your entire site: posts, pages, widgets, custom fields, everything. It identifies which image variations are actually being used and shows you exactly what's taking up space for no reason. You can then Delete in bulk. Now I know as a website owner, this kind of bulk operation can be scary, so we built-in a safety net. We never delete original files. Only the unused variations. Plus, deleted files are backed up for 30 days, so you can restore anything with one click if needed. This is a tool we've used on many of our own sites and have saved up to 50% of disk space. For $29/year, that's probably the highest ROI purchase you can make as a WordPress site owner trying to keep hosting costs under control. Especially if you're an agency managing multiple client sites. Those savings compound fast. Also we have WP-CLI support as well for our devs & agencies 😎 Link in the second post below.

Happy new year! So ready for 2026. ☺️🎊

Unfortunately that's the sad reality with many acquisitions. If you are a SaaS founder who want to exit while making sure your legacy is well taken care of, we are always looking to buy wonderful software businesses. awesomemotive.com/ma-program/

THIS is a really useful feature for WordPress site owners 😍 My team at Search & Replace Everything just added the ability to view Previous Searches and run repeat bulk operations with 1 click. Highly recommend this plugin by our WPCode team (@wpcodelibrary). wpcode.com/introducing-se…

@Tesla Why do videos stutter like this? I’m using a Samsung T9. Exported videos are the same. Seen this across multiple vehicles myself personally. Happy to help troubleshoot! 🫶

I think this might be the first time we have Open Source at the majority of the top 5,000 sites, which is a big win.

@markjaquith @martyrdison Bonus points for dedicated porch & patio crocs, for those trying times when the threshold out must be crossed and house slippers shall not pass.

@martyrdison The compromise is house shoes or slippers. There is no compromising with “I desperately need to subject the household to street feet”

can a “no shoes in the house” person and a “wears shoes indoors” person actually work as a couple?

@tdh Cheers to that, my friend. Thank you.

@JJJ Sorry to hear that. Here's hoping it turns around!

My own personal 2024 & 2025 have been really and truly terrible, but also highly educational & transformative. Fortunate to be supported by amazing friends, awesome colleagues, and absolute professionals. Can’t wait for this season of my life to end and the next one to begin.
