Love all these Photoshop posts on LinkedIn around the AI cloned app. From the tone of the posts you would have imagined no one in the past 20 years has built alternative photo editing applications. But thank god someone had AI clone it in a weekend. Which is about all thats interesting about it.

You don't protect girls' sports by making other children your target.

The WordPress block editor's native notes on the front end. Add or interact with them from either end. A fun little experiment.

Dear Anthropic, Stop telling me you're going to send a security code to my email. You don't; you send a secure link, but your website shows a form field for a key and related instructions. It creates a confusing experience. Which one is it?

I see that the Republicans are finally living out their fantasy of destroying the civil rights non-profit, the Southern Poverty Law Center. It certainly is uncomfortable being reminded how many of your members belong to or support hate groups.

I am struggling to put into words the anger and frustration I feel over the Supreme Court's recent decision on Conversion Therapy. I spent so many years of my childhood scared of something just like this. The hypocrisy of this medical professional pretending she is putting her patients first.

It's not much to say that Representative Gino Bulso of Tennessee is a coward and a bigot.

It's that time of year again to play "Which of the three Intuit accounts are my TurboTax records on?" If you're looking for an example of how not to do accounts, take a look at Intuit.

This is everything.

There are a lot of things I like about what the Kadance theme offers website builders and owners. But the templates are such a let down. Not because of their design, but because they fail to take advantage of most of the tools and options that make building in the block editor easy.

I've spent too much time today being reminded why I hate build scripts and package managers.

As a WordPress design and developer, I drool over some of these tools that Big Bit has built for media.press - Separate tab for managing Metadata, Custom Fields, and on-page media. - Better media crop and replace - Save drafts without republishing - Better revisions I want, I want

Technology is a choice. So is how we talk about it. Let's choose language that describes AI as assistive technology we use (or don't use) to help us flourish. Welcome to my #TEDxSurrey talk: youtu.be/yjLsHD9IzIA?...

The FedEx experience "Please, for the love of god, don't call us. No, seriously, you will never be allowed to speak to a human."

Looks like the president's trigger finger is getting itchy again.

Good summary of the regime's attack of the First Amendment from @ossoff.senate.gov

The killing of Charlie Kirk is deplorable, as were his beliefs. He was an open racist and bigot who used his platform to dehumanize others. While he shouldn't have been killed for his views, I won't ignore that his beliefs empower violence against others.

I am excited for the Federal Bureau of Investigations to be given its new title: Whitehouse Police.

When a hosting company like SiteGround sends you a "Monthly security report" email, that is nothing but an Ad meant to upsell you on their expensive add-ons, it's safe to say they don't have your best interest in mind. They care more about selling you on services by exploiting fear and confusion.

I can't celebrate his death, but I won't mourn it either. religionnews.com/2025/08/22/d...

So many wonderful years not having to think about Kim Davis. Now she's back in the news for all the same horrible reasons. It's taken 10 years for right-wing Christian hate groups to get to this moment. The first shot may stand no chance, but they will keep taking shots till they are successful.

Well, I think I've read enough bad news to screw over my mood for the day. So I guess it's time to check out.

If you needed to be reminded that this administration is bigoted and cowardly, here's your reminder. But betraying the country and the people who serve to protect it comes naturally to this administration. apnews.com/article/air-...

I'm just bitching about PayPal today. Their user account feature is utterly broken, and having to coordinate to receive two-factor codes every time I log in to a client's account is a nightmare.

I would love to see WordPress bring the menu back out of the editor so website users can update and edit the menu independently of working in the full site editor. This would go some way to making sure that content can be edited separately from the site structure.

Why write 10 words when 13 will do? Why not add an extra qualifying statement, a third example to your list?

Please, podcasters, check your transcripts. I'm glad people are adding the 'but' a timestamp for every word is not a transcript.

Today is the 10th anniversary of Obergefell and the legalization of same-sex marriage. The threat to this right is more real than ever. But for this moment I want to sit in the knowledge that there are queer kids who have spent their entire life knowing only a future where they can get married.

This important whistleblower account (from the DOJ attorney fired for being honest in court) paints an absolutely damning portrait of an administration engaged in a conscious and calculated effort to defy federal court orders. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

For the outlandish backstory of the case, at which a 6-3 majority of SCOTUS shrugged its shoulders, see @qjurecic.bsky.social 's account in @lawfaremedia.org at link below. Original working title: "DHS v DVD -- WTF?" www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

You don't need to use JS to make a masonry gallery layout. There really is no good reason. Now I'm dealing wit a Kadance gallery block that's broken in the editor becasue it's constancy recalculating image positions.

It's sad to say but I think Restrict Content Pro and WPComplete are two plugs that are no longer being developed. Neither are listed on StellarWP's product list (The one mention of Restrict redirect to their other membership plugin).

It would be nice to hope that the recent violence and killings were the peak, but it seems like its only the beginning. The president has wanted to to use violent force against protests since his first term, and now he has someone who will ok it. It seems like it's only a matter of time.

Adding Gumroad to the list of companies not to do business with.

Seeing the images of the crowds at the protests all around the country is helping a lot today.

How is it going? Two Democratic lawmakers were shot in an assassination attempt, and the president of the US is throwing himself a military parade, the military being used, in the administration's words, "to liberate California" over peaceful protests it helped provoke.

Hey every startup. Just wanted to let you know it's ok to not put AI in your domain...

Big shout out to @10up.com, @humanmade.com , and @webdevstudios.com for publishing articles, case studies, conference talks on their work with full site editing for client projects in WordPress. It's been invaluable to see how others have approached & solved problems. We need more content like this.

I was excited about section styles in the block editor. But ultimately disappointed that the resulting styles are set on a per block unique class rather then the block level class. It can create so much duplicate inline css.

How many times does it have to be said. Anti-trans legislation have never been about the kids or about trans or gender non conforming people. It sure as hell was never about the "science". It's a belief that trans, queer, and LGBTQ folks don't deserve a place in public life & rolling back progress.

Linkace is looking like a good alternative. Then again, when anything like this happens I get the itch to try and build it in WordPress.

Well i guess i need to now find a replacement for pocket.

Adding to my WordPress full site editing wishes/ideas. I wish it was possible to define a class for a pattern in the patterns settings header comment block, that would automatically be applied and held, maybe with the ability to prevent its removal in the editor.

I've decided to go all in on full site editing for client projects and just wanted to document my annoyances. No easy way to add adjacent pagination to a nav block & add aria-label. Why are skip links added via JS and their is no documented way to add additional skip links?

Just a quick thought. Could we have an approach to cookie consent control that isn't so intrusive? The ability for users to change their consent at any time is important. It doesn't need to be a constant floating button!

I do love to see a website migration go from taking half an hour to 3 minutes after an optimization.

Holly hell, this Kadence theme just loaded 200+ demo images into my clients media library.
