@no_fear_inc Nice! Congrats!

Feeling so grateful this week marrying the perfect girl, at the perfect place, with the best people around us, in storm and fire 💚

If you use DISALLOW_FILE_MODS, pay extra care to update your WordPress sites to 7.0.2 as soon as possible. One of my sites was already hacked because of it. Attacker got in, changed my admin password, created several new admin users and poked around. No harm done here and all good now, but know that this is already being exploited at scale.

WordPress 7.0.2 is now available. This security release addresses 1 critical and 1 high severity issue, including a REST API vulnerability that could lead to remote code execution. Update your sites now. wp.me/pZhYe-5vp

Members Only 1.8.0 is here, and your WordPress membership site is now ready to work with AI assistants, with full support for the new WordPress Abilities API, exposing 25 membership operations that AI assistants and automation tools can discover and use safely.

Google Trends: WordPress search interest in 2026 is climbing back to 2017 levels. AI was supposed to replace it. Instead, AI creates content that still needs somewhere to live and #WordPress remains the simplest publishing infrastructure at scale! dev.to/bickov/ai-was-…

Members Only 1.7.0 is here, and the big new feature is Group Memberships. You can now sell one subscription to a company, school, family, team, or organization, then let that buyer invite and manage their own members. [1/2]

Another year of Ollie and another truck load of innovation delivered. We shipped like crazy, pushed the envelope in WordPress core, and now we're blazing a new path for the future. I can't wait to show you what's coming next... stay tuned! olliewp.com/another-year-o…

@NadaPancakes @espn It’s on the Spanish feed that contains ads. There’s that at least.

@John_Parris @espn Having same issue

@espn please fix the Paolini v Eala feed. It’s showing de Minaur v Cobolli.

Some fun charts: 1. Each US generation is wealthier than the last.

Love this re-imagining of America’s founding using Docs, Gmail, Calendar and more from @GoogleWorkspace. Really puts the history in version history :)

Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to seize 50% of any AI startup that crosses $200M in revenue. The same anti-prosperity bloc spent the year trying to ban startup acquisitions, blocking the only exit 85% of founders ever get. This is a war on building startups in America.

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. #bot-vs-human" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">radar.cloudflare.com/traffic#bot-vs…

@sempac97 @YouTubeTV Same happening on HBO Max. Seems like a French Open problem.

@YouTubeTV I for the millionth time cannot stand your app. It constantly freezes during big sports matches. Roland Garros came back from commercial and now no audio. I can’t stand this shit man. For $85 a month you guys are absolutely scamming 😂

Koko Analytics v2.4 is here! Safer database imports, better filtering of non-human traffic and code hardening to prevent excessive resource usage by non-authenticated users when your dashboard is publicly available. Update, like, share, subscribe. Hashtag marketing.

@mardehaym @arrington We need proof, otherwise this is another lazy Axios piece.

None of this is satire. → A company spent $500,000,000 on Claude in one month because nobody set usage limits → Uber ran leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used, not what they shipped → Uber burned their entire 2026 budget by April. Their COO said he can’t connect any of it to consumer features → A CTO told Axios employees were using enterprise AI to check the weather → Microsoft canceled most Claude Code licenses because the token bill spiraled → Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.

Very very solid response by Packagist & @naderman to improve Composer regarding recent attacks on open source packages ❤️ blog.packagist.com/an-update-on-c…

@AviBajpaiNC Why no vote on the other overrides today?

NC House taking up Gov. Josh Stein's veto of House Bill 87 this morning, the first override vote in the lower chamber since both chambers overrode eight vetoes last July. House not expected to take any other override votes today. #ncga #ncpol
