First Impressions: My WordPress is an interesting development. It allows you to have a totally private WordPress site in your browser. You could use this to test, develop or just play around with WordPress. It also looks like it could be used for developing an app just for yourself, or perhaps to export & share.

For 12 years, Pete Wells had his dream job: working as the chief restaurant critic for The New York Times. The job’s journalistic mission required Wells to eat out most nights and taste nearly everything on any given restaurant’s menu. He didn’t realize it at the time, but t...

The secret to this acrobatic skill lies in an extremely flexible part of the spine that allows cats to twist in the air and land safely.

I’m in New Orleans for the first time in 7 years for a beautiful wedding. My Mom’s side of the family emigrated here in the 1860s, and there’s a deep comfort in the art, traditions, and weirdness of Creole culture. Good music and food are ubiquitous. I met up with WordPresser Blake Bertuccelli-Booth to catch … Continue reading Song Creation →

Cracking up watching the emoji bit on SNL tonight. I lost it at orange square. 🚡

Saturday, March 14, 2026 The thing that we all missed is that WordPress is the best candidate for a standard for what an individual social network message is. # An example. This isn't all the data that WordPress keeps for each post, it's just the stuff that WordLand uses....

I know 100% that people will argue with me over this, but I miss when movies were professionally lit, when actors were intentionally blocked, and when more than teal, orange and beige were allowed to be on the screen. The medium has something to do with it--film made a lot of these things fundamentally necessary--but I think it's more complex than just that. The last few years' movies are just not pleasant to look at, with very few exceptions, and the change occurred sometime around 2015.

An example. This isn't all the data that WordPress keeps for each post, it's just the stuff that WordLand uses. We add some of our own metadata, that's how it is extensible. It's open source, and it's evolved for 20+ years, with a strong ethos of not breaking devs. It could have been twitter, or masto or even bluesky, but they don't show through enough features to be useful as "web text." We want to use all the features of text on the web. I may be the only one who sees this but I predict in a couple of years if we aren't subsumed by AI everyone will say they always knew this is what WordPress is for. 😄

I added Paul Graham to my blogroll at scripting.com. Another massive oversight.

Matt Mullenweg: One evening last month, my Apple Watch, iPhone, and Mac all lit up with a message prompting me to reset my password. This came out of nowhere; I hadn’t done anything to elicit it. I even had Lockdown Mode running on all my devices. It didn’t matter. Someo...

iFixit: Is Apple’s most affordable laptop ever also one of its most repairable? For years, opening a MacBook has usually meant fighting your way through glue and buried parts. But the Neo stands out, with increasingly good day-one manuals, less-painful keyboard repairs,...

FRONTLINE traces the road to war with Iran, the U.S. and Israeli roles, and the stakes for the region.

With the introduction of AI-assisted coding tools and agents, many people hoped we’d solve all the problems for human teams.

The post Why AI systems are failing in familiar ways appeared first on The New Stack.

On Thursday afternoon, I wandered over to Grand Central to pick up lunch. Immediately after walking into the terminal I noticed that the Apple Store that overlooks the main hall was closed off and now flanked by production lighting equipment. I found that particularly odd g...

Parker Ortolani blogs about the Neo:

The MacBook Neo is the first Mac that is truly, in every sense of the word, a bicycle for the mind. It’s the first Mac that almost anyone can buy and it’s going to unleash a whole new era of creativity because of it.

Antonio G. Di Benedetto, The Verge: Somehow, the PC makers still don’t see it coming. Here’s how [Asus CFO Nick] Wu described the MacBook Neo, specifically its 8GB of RAM limitation: “I think when Apple positioned the product, it’s probably focused more on content consu...

Redesigned the blogroll on Tinypost today. Single column now, sorted by latest activity, with favicons pulled from RSS feeds. The blogroll also moved into the profile header as a row of stacked avatars linking to the full list. Much more compact than the old two-column grid. tinypost.blog

The MacBook Neo is the computer that Steve Jobs always wanted to make. It’s the first notebook Apple’s ever shipped that starts at $499 and doesn’t compromise on any of the essential components that make a Mac, a Mac. Bicycles are one of the most accessible forms of transpo...
