Maybe I like responding to everyone in the middle of the night so that I don’t take over your feed in the middle of the day? πŸ˜‚ (Really I’m just a night owl though.)
[wordpress.org/news/2025/01...]( ) Matt has decided to misinterpret requests for structural changes to WordPress as indications of a Fork. And deactivated the .org accounts of a group of people. Now I’m seeing why Joost posted: [bsky.app/profile/joos...]( ) And Karim: [bsky.app/profile/maru...]( ) [Joost/Karim Fork – WordPress N...]( )
Ok what is the deal? Someone followed me, liked a post then immediately blocked me? I don’t follow back often because of a) bots b) spam c) follow for follow is how so many people end up with a trash following feed. Sometimes I put people on a list to watch for a bit.
Caught the snow and ice on a shrub falling and splitting in half. You can see how thick the snow and ice are at the end there plus the fact that it just sits there after falling. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreidj5gjyu6vjeri5hra7azxmskm23feyeww7wtlhw2tv3wufkuhzlm
Resource site I hadn't stumbled across until today: [www.cmswire.com/d/]( ) CMS directory that covers a lot with filtering for opensource or site company it's intended for. Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Craft CMS ... so SO many more & organized. [Digital Experience, Customer E...]( )
Early Caturday submission. Snaggletooth … I mean Midnight here has stopped even trying to go outside with the snow. Has turned into a sleeping Marathon. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreicr4d4evsm6duwdzv3464yccpukf6pn6w4sgezlkdzrkwg7ehdjmm
For those who want to distance yourselves from the chaos that Matt Mullenweg is capable of creating, a quick reminder: .blog TLD is owned by Automattic [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.blog]( ) So [micro.blog](https://micro.blog ) ... if I can see it now, Matt seems likely to eventually. I'm too tired to bite my tongue on this one. [.blog - Wikipedia]( )
In case you want a WordPress update, see below. I have many thoughts in response to what’s going on but mostly that I believe [@thewpcc.bsky.social]( ), [@joost.blog]( ) and [@aspirepress.bsky.social]( ) (especially if they all join forces) are the most likely to move things forwards in a positive direction.

I have a longer version of today’s snowy drive in Lexington Kentucky but haven’t reviewed it yet. This is a short clip so you can see how the trees, especially the pine trees, are doing with the weight of ice & snow already on them. This is why 3-6 MORE inches will likely mean I lose power again. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreigcwruxuno2hkal25zvo4apqhje4gypm33fu56jfxwccecsnrkspa
If you ever have a scenario where you’re trying to figure out odds of clear roads, hunting down your city / state traffic cams may be helpful. Reminds me that a few years ago I caught someone skiing in the streets in Lexington when I was checking. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreiboide6shzjnxou3rc7eqebxu5x3dzqlelm2ra75eu57dlmrxebf4
