Don't call it a relaunch.

ZeroPoint helps you create "marketing" style websites without a monolithic (and increasingly corporate) CMS like WordPress.

Focused on DX, version control, and native web technology, you get: an @11ty.dev base, a CMS, and a new "blocks" system.

This is where I finally break with Tay. This far no farther. Roundabouts are better. They’re not even hard just use them.

My “We’re not ENRON” press releases are raising a lot of questions already answered by the press releases.
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

Yep. “Separating the art and the artist” and “Death of the author” are both ways to approach art critically, but they’re different ways.
"Death of the Author" doesn't mean separating the author's bad behaviour from their art. It means taking away their authority and allowing readers to interpret the art based on their own perspectives. It doesn't absolve the author of being a bastard, in fact it may inform how you interpret the art.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Turning off AI in GMail also disables sorting, as others have noted, even if you’re using a different client.

Stuff that used to get categorized as ads is coming right to the front.

I’ve used iCloud for my primary address for years and have no complaints.

Also, Ultimate readers, please spread the word: next month read Endgame 1 first and THEN Ultimates 19. They come out on the same day, but they must be read in that order. Tell EVERYONE, even if they don't read the Ultimates, or don't read period (like your cat, or your favorite chair, etc)
You're more than welcome. That was genuinely inspiring stuff. I can't wait next issue and Endgame.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

“Form and function dance as one across the stage of life on the daily. It was true in Holland’s performance, and it’s true in stormwater management.”
just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management.

remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

The backstory to the Tom Holland lip sync is such a repudiation of slop. So much human effort and skill and *rights clearing* went into creating something so many people love.
