I know they’re for player safety and that it’s important, but the guardian caps are absolutely hilarious.

Happy Alabama Slamma Day to those who celebrate

New "blank" Laravel starter kits coming soon.

Meanwhile, in sports that are actually being played tonight, we have a goalie goal!

MLB try not to do something embarrassing challenge: impossible.

The infield is already a lake. There's more rain coming from the west. Just call off the damn game already. This is fucking stupid.

Last year: #MLB plays a game at Rickwood Field, celebrates the Negro Leagues and gets universal praise.
This year: MLB removes why Jackie Robinson is so important in MLB/American history, plays a game at a NASCAR track and it's turning out to be an absolute disaster.

Just saying...

A Democratic message that leaned in HARD into uplifting the idea of the commons and re-teaching people about importance of PUBLIC GOODS and the fact that they are GOOD and FOR EVERYONE would be an easy place to mobilize lots of people towards a project of building.

One of my favorite parts of watching my first #Laracon the last two days is just how infectious the “just build things” mantra is! Definitely came away more inspired to learn and build cool things, whether or not they see the light of day outside of my local dev environment.

#Laravel

Well I'm definitely sold on Livewire 4 after that talk at #Laracon! Can't wait for its release (I do wish Caleb gave a loose outline for a timeline for release, but everything else in that talk was great).

#Laravel

Watching my first #Laracon US. Only watching online this year but hope to be there in person next year! Looks like a great conference! #Laravel

The #Rangers going 8-1 after the All Star break, being 4 games back of the AL West division lead and being tied in the wild card on the last Saturday in July after their awful start to the season wasn't on my bingo card for this year. But I'll take it!

Working on a little something for myself this weekend.

Taking the iPadOS 26 Public Beta for a spin, and I think I like it so far. Looks nice. Also, changing the circle for a more precise triangle when using the trackpad is a small, but quite impactful change.

Point taken!

TBF, that's kind of a self burn because I very distinctively remember that fact.

😂😭💀💀💀💀💀

How’s that working out for you?

Have you tried telling the people HERE IN THE US that you stayed home because you didn’t think their lives were important too?

Shut all the way the hell up. Y’all fucked up and that’s the reality of it.

And nobody remembers that Justin Morneau won that home run derby despite hitting 22 to Hamilton’s 35 across the entire competition (beat Hamilton 5-3 in the final).

Wow. An actually good home run derby for a change.

#baseball

If you’re going to watch the home run derby tonight, ESPN 2 is the way to do it. Can actually see the entire field and every hit landing.

Thanks! Does not help that we're launching a rebrand on Tuesday (which I found out about the Thursday before I left for vacation), so the goal of this week is to just survive. 🙃🙃🙃

Been on vacation the last two weeks, and not going to lie, I'm a little bit terrified to open up my work email tomorrow morning.

⚠️🚨746PM July 12th: Not sure who needs to hear this, but we would definitely advise against camping along any of the rivers in the Hill Country of Texas overnight. NEW Dangerous flooding is possible tonight into Sunday morning! #Txwx

So we've picked up about an inch of rain in roughly 20 minutes here in Mansfield ... and there's more on the way overnight.

I have a bad feeling it's going to be a long night for a lot of folks across the state tonight.

#txwx

I know new leagues take time to grow, but I would really love if the Athletes Unlimited Softball League moved to city-based teams soon. I want a local team to cheer for (and inevitably have my heart broken by)!

#softball

I will always remember watching Eyewitness videos on this in elementary school.

To be honest, that intro remains pretty awesome.

The Slow Implosion of WordPress: 2025 and the CMS That's Losing Its Soul WordPress in 2025 isn’t thriving — it’s rotting. Bloated, outdated, and hijacked by commercial greed, the world’s most popular CMS has become a cautionary tale of innovation gone stale. If you’re still building on WordPress, you’re clinging to a corpse.

So on the one hand, I definitely get the sentiment as someone more or less transitioning away from #WordPress. But on the other hand, the argument does feel a bit flimsy. Could use more actual examples rather than just being a rant.

Nobody was ignoring a genocide, you garbage human. Palestinians were begging this country to elect Kamala over the orange turd, but trash people like you ignored them, deciding that white supremacy was the answer their plight.

So begone, you pustule. Go bother someone else with your idiocy.

Even if fuck is autocorrected to duck, it's still fowl language
