Spontaneous test: I asked @Muse to check me into my flight tomorrow. It pops a browser card on my phone. I tap it and watch it check me in on the airline's site, live. Done. Nothing bought, just the free check-in.

Meta gets a bad rep, but Muse is genuinely great. The usage tiers are so generous it's a no-brainer. I started using it just to cut token burn on the frontier models, now I reach for it for random stuff too.

To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting. My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives. A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together. You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard. Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

WordPress is going from running nearly half the web to being obsolete in 1-2 years.
I'm thinking of putting together a service to offer WP migration to other stacks. I'm pretty about 80% of sites don't need WP at all, and that would remove a lot of pain for the owners. Let's see.

We migrated all client sites to EmDash unless they explicitly requested WordPress. It’s been a few months now and I can honestly say that even EmDash isn’t needed in most cases. Astro for most sites is more than enough. EmDash when a team is involved and a CMS is truly needed.
OK I did it. Migrated WordPress to Emdash. goodbye $600 bluehost server I've had for 15 years. 307 posts 6.7gb photos 4 custom content types 5 custom page templates 15 custom fields 1 semi-complicated plugin converted and a handful of simple ones Emdash skills moved it over, migrated off stylus(!) and it's pixel perfect on the front end. The page speed score went from 52 to 75. The Admin is fantastic as well - no problem for a WP user. Nice and fast

Last week: Binance, PHP, Linux. This week: LiteSpeed, WordPress, Android. At this point I don't run a hosting company, I run a patching company.

When a Muslim Brotherhood member wins a Senate race, that’s NOT DEMOCRACY; that’s USEFUL IDIOTS hating their own country. When the mullahs in Iran took over, socialists helped them, and later, the Islamists killed them all. This is the most dangerous moment for Western civilization. GOD BLESS AMERICA. U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is a dark chapter in this great nation’s history. And as the Bible warns: “For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Be careful what you plant in the name of democracy. You may not enjoy the harvest.

Going back to MacOS. I'd love to leave Apple's ecosystem but the linux desktop experience is rough and too fragmeneted.
Longtime Mac user. Gave Fedora a real shot, did all the tweaks. Slack still feels second-class, WhatsApp is a slow web wrapper, and Thunderbird looks like it's stuck in 1995. I want to leave Apple but this just feels so damn rough.

Is the macOS Grok app still coming, or did @bot kill it? @elonmusk
Grok will also be offered as a standalone application for the MacOS and Windows

I keep thinking Apple will finally wake up to what Apple TV could be. Still waiting. They could crush PlayStation and Xbox, but they insist on slow-rolling upgrades to milk every last product cycle.
