I slept for seven hours last night instead of my usual four and somehow was in a much better mood than usual today! How totally unexpected and inexplicable!

President Trumpโ€™s just-released budget would eliminate funding for the Legal Services Corporation, putting at risk essential legal protections for veterans, seniors and children across the country.

In retrospect, maybe the site with content in as many as 22 languages, Paragraphs nested five levels deep, and the use of Paragraphs Library wasn't the best place for me to start learning decoupled #Drupal. ๐Ÿซ

Anyone who cheers Trump pulling Harvard funding, ask if they know someone with ALS or ever did fundraising for it.

In a GitHub ticket viewed by WIRED, Lavingia also suggested abandoning Drupal, a content management system (CMS) that the VA uses for publishing updates and information about the agency and the services it provides on VA facility websites. โ€œI think we should consider removing Drupal as part of our workflow, and all content should just live in the codebase,โ€ he wrote.

Watching a webinar about the creation of the new Lady Gaga website, and they mentioned that they had to do work to gather all the content and metadata to represent her discography.

I hadn't really thought about that there's probably not a standardized way for an artist to maintain that. ๐Ÿค”

18F, the federal governmentโ€™s technology shop, was demolished by Muskโ€™s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

No, and if he wants to play it six times in a row like at his Juneteenth concert last year, that's fine by me.

MSU postpones DEI event following Trump order, threat to investigate An executive order last week opened the door for investigations into both MSU and U-M over their diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Universities walking tightrope for fear of losing federal funding.

Most of the official communications out of the WordPress project lately are of the kind I might expect from, say, a 13-year-old forum administrator...not a platform powering 40% of the web's content management systems. And yet.

A spam post on the Crownnote website, advertising unlimited free gems in Brawl Stars.

The joys of running a website made almost entirely of user-generated content: dealing with users who join and immediately post a ton of spam. (It's really adding up in Google AdSense revenue, though! Too bad that will likely get flagged as invalid traffic before it gets paid out.)

swifties.social - get your community handle for Bluesky get your own swifties.social handle

I thought swifties.social was kind of a genius way to bring together a fanbase on Bluesky...and it turns out it's built on an open-source tool? Hmm, I might have a weekend project for @crownnote.com ahead...

Tried setting up my new .music domain for @crownnote.com and it's...the most ridiculously convoluted process ever? And then you get to the end of the process and there seems to be no way to adjust nameservers. Fun.
