23 looks good on WordPress. 🎂 Since May 27, 2003, WordPress has been blogging, building, publishing, shipping, translating, theming, plugin-ing, and making the web a little more wonderfully weird. Happy birthday, WordPress. 💙 #WordPress
REMINDER: The best time to DONATE BLOOD is when you don't need it! Donating at the blood bank is just like saving at a regular bank. Whatever you put in now, you can pull from later, for yourself or someone else. Please, I beg of you. The blood bank needs it. Go donate.
Hurricane season nuh done? Rain a fall. Breeze a blow. Place cold. JPS tek weh di light. What di backfoot is going on outside?!?!
I'm glad my short-lived corporate life taught me to get 3 quotes before hiring anybody/buying anything. Because tell me why to get the exact same service installing spec-comparable products range from $152,000 to $321,000? Wah cudda cause dat?!
tbh I don't use Mail or Calendar and think the "apps" direction was a bit of a gaffe, especially considering how different the interfaces and xps feel. Core Notion is stronger w/o 'em. Mail and calendars should've been (could still be!) synced views as demoed in 2022.
Steven Russell@syzygy1903.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe disparate apps will only really have value once they talk, but once they do…💭Let’s hope they make some good progress on this, among all the AI development going on.
Even if AI is "good" (works), I deeply respect the continued work in discernment folks are doing. There's time for it; don't be rushed by Progress. Many think skeptics will regret their skepticism and be "left behind". I think it's okay to be left behind in discovering ethical alignment. No regrets.

I genuinely don't know anything worse than modern-day dancehall music. They really need a different name for it because it cannot compare to the 90s/00s music we called dancehall.

If your goal for 2026 is to survive 2026, there's no shame in that. That counts for something.
Watching my family members of all generations get sucked in by and constantly sharing AI content makes my skin crawl.
Two children in my neighbourhood got bicycles (with horns) for Christmas. Another got a noisemaking toy. Ask me how I know.

That female rapper (if you can still call her that) coming out as M*G* is the LEAST surprising thing of 2025. Like girl...what WON'T you do for attention at this point?
You know how you can tell these people aren't actually serious about data? Because they never spend enough time focusing on the data itself - its weak points, blind spots, frames of reference, and general quality. Data isn't neutral, and every data scientist can tell when the data is sick.

The easiest way to hide information from me is to put it in a podcast.

If you want a response from me on WhatsApp, don’t message me after hours. Cuz I’ll absolutely check it while half asleep, never reply and go back to bed never remembering a thing.
Speaking of… A year should have 13 months with 4 weeks each and every month should start on a Monday. We can add one clear additional week in Month 13 where needed to catch with the earths revolution or whatever. I’m willing to die on this hill.
