Today marks 20 years of Automattic! 🥂

We span 82 countries, speak 110 languages, and power millions of sites, stores, and conversations through @wordpress.com, @woocommerce.com, and more.

Cheers to user freedom, an open web, and software that serves people, not the other way around—and to 20 more!

Can someone sit down with him and explain exactly how tariffs work? Again? Maybe some diagrams or flow charts to demonstrate how this means we’ll be paying more, not the Colombians.

I want to like this app, but I don’t understand why threaded replies look like 2014 Tumblr post screenshots

What we deadname:
- Twitter
- The Gulf of Mexico

What we don’t:
- Any human. Period.

Moving the inauguration inside is extremely unfair to me specifically because I was hoping to have a chance to use the two nickels meme about a president dying from the weather.

A group of Mulan Parade dancers on Disneyland Main Street at night. The costumes are multicolored silks, some with floor-length sleeves. The dancers have headpieces like black wigs with large flowers, and they are carrying lanterns on three-foot long poles.

Forever chasing the high of wearing this costume 5 nights a week one summer

I see some here are back to the follow and unfollow and refollow to get people to notice them and follow them back that happened in the early days of Twitter. Don’t do this. It’s weird.

Left my 10k Pinterest followers to start fresh here posting other people’s Instant Pot recipes and cross-stitch patterns that I want to save for later

They’re doing the same thing as last time but x100 - nominating people who are the actual antithesis of the department they’ll represent so that government will fail and they can tear it all down.

I guess I have to try to follow people here again now that more people are using it.

The timeline right now looks like an Ewok party after the Death Star exploded

This is like spending money on drug testing for people getting welfare benefits not actually turning up enough positive results to save funds. How about putting the money into helping people instead? A fund to help provide fares to those who need assistance?

Quick reminder that it’s always good to block content-theft accounts called things like “dogs” or “cats” or “amazing_pictures” or whatever because they do nothing but propagate uncredited work stolen from other people and make the internet worse! 🫠

A pox on the house of Hulu for repeating the “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?” song so many times that it’s stuck in my head now.

“Honey, I’m pregnant”

[holding back happy tears]

“Hi pregnant…I’m dad”

Call the Midwife and Doctor Who each exist in the other’s universe and I think that’s great.

Do you think I’ll get kicked out of a “what’s this font?” Facebook group by telling people that the font and design they like is bad and they should feel bad for wanting to duplicate it?

reskeet with your favorite meme you’ve made

I spent an extraordinary amount of time as a kid thinking about how the dancers turned the separate red handkerchiefs into one at the end of the dance number in Temple of Doom.

Also how did the diners see the large group number with that dragon and the proscenium in front of them?

No one else is home to hear me be weird, which means I catch myself singing songs like "O histamines" to the tune of "O Tannenbaum" after eating some leftovers.

I haven’t posted anything here yet, which means I’m getting follows from the people who just follow to get you to follow them back. 🙄
And one of them is Satan. Not today!
