They just screw the next one on and tell you to keep climbing.

Want to know why I'm angry at @realDonaldTrump? So @NewYorker just ran a piece about how DC Republicans are running for the exits. And amid all the sneering was this quote:
"We took over and we just kind of fucking botched it. The Democrats didn’t create some bullshit. We had a generational opportunity and we basically squandered it. Look at the coalition we had in 2024. Those people might not ever vote again in their lives."
Exactly.
Trump could have tried to KEEP the promises he made, to make the government fairer and leaner, make medical care more affordable (not just lard it with more subsidies), make housing easier to build, fight the bureaucracies that make every level of school far more expensive and inefficient than it should be, etc.
A lot of middle-class and lower-middle-class people really believed he would fight for them. And would he have won all those fights? No, of course not. But he would have made real progress - the Republicans controlled the White House and Congress. Instread he didn't even try. He concentrated on getting rich and ballrooms and the reflecting pool, the stupidest, vainest possible stuff, along with starting foreign wars, the one thing he'd promised he wouldn't do.
Now, two years later, all those people think the system is MORE corrupt, that Trump only cares about himself and getting richer and the billionaires who can help him to do it. And they're right to think so. They are angrier and more dispossessed than ever. And that's bad for the United States, bad for our future, bad for my kids and yours.
And it is one man's fault.
The old man was treated unfairly in 2016, when they tried to crown Hillary
2018, when they pretended he was a Russian spy
2020, when they pretended Covid was the plague
2024, when they prosecuted him for the crime of beating Hillary
But there’s nothing unfair about the ass-whipping he is about to take. He deserves every inch of it and more. This time around he has become the grifting incompetent doddering fool they said he was, he has leaned in to the caricature so far he’s fallen over and taken the Republican Party with him. I take no joy in writing this, I voted for him in 2024 and hoped for better. But the next two years will be brutal, and he has only himself and the thieving courtiers he installed around him to blame.
Happy Election Day, El Hombre Naranja

Google introduced a new Search Console feature that lets you measure how your content on Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube performs in Google Search.
For years, social performance and search performance have lived in separate reporting worlds. That's starting to change! Instead of only seeing traffic to your website, you'll also get visibility into how people discover your social content through Google.
Why does this matter?
Until now, there was no native way to measure how your brand's social content performed in Google Search or Discover.
Now, Google is giving marketers first-party data on content they don't actually own. That means you can see which social content earns impressions and clicks in Search 👇

Last week Marie Haynes called GEO a distraction. Rand Fishkin asked if AI visibility is a boondoggle. Mike King replied: you're grading a brand channel with a traffic ruler.
Both sides argued about traffic. I looked at sales. 🧵

👨🍳 CHEF'S TIP! 🍝
Making baked ziti?
Cook your pasta just until al dente before baking!
The pasta continues cooking in the oven, so keeping it slightly firm helps prevent a mushy casserole.
Perfect pasta starts with proper timing! 🧡

The PHP project has released fixes for 2 critical vulnerabilities affecting servers that host PHP applications. Site owners and technical teams should confirm their hosting provider’s update plan and update PHP immediately. Versions before PHP 8.2 no longer receive security updates. These issues are not specific to WordPress, and no WordPress update is required. wp.me/pZhYe-5Gb

🚨 ONE PHP LEAK HIT 5 COUNTRIES AND THE EU IN ONE DAY. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED TO EACH:
🇯🇵 Japan — Uma Musume and Shadowverse games DOWN for emergency maintenance before the 23:00 patch
🇯🇵 Japan — BASE online shops, Sakura and X Server hosting all in EMERGENCY maintenance
🇯🇵 Japan — Codmon, the nursery app, SUSPENDED for emergency maintenance
🇯🇵 Japan — national cyber office demanded action "as quickly as possible"
🇯🇵 Japan — Tokyo police cyber unit WARNED every PHP site to be ready for the 23:00 fix
🇺🇸 USA — Cloudflare CTO: "We are seeing early attacks emerging"
🇺🇸 USA — Cloudflare: MASSIVE stopgap firewall rollout, free customers included
🇺🇸 USA — EVERY WordPress site exposed (the LARGEST site builder in the entire world, 40%+ of the internet)
🇺🇸 USA — the fix CAN'T install by automatic update (Wordfence)
🇪🇺 EU — CERT-EU: if you can't patch, CUT apps off public networks
🇬🇧 UK — NCSC gave the same advice: patch or go OFFLINE
🇦🇺 Australia — ASD ALERT: "prepare to update and apply patches"
🇵🇱 Poland — CERT Polska: ALL versions from PHP 5.0 up
AFTERMATH:
2 critical flaws leaked before the fix, CVSS 9.2 out of 10 on both
Every PHP site at risk (69.3% of websites run on PHP)
1,300,000+ internet-exposed hosts likely vulnerable
Games, shops and hosting suspended across Japan in ONE DAY
Mass attacks expected within 15 minutes of the patch
One Hacker News post triggered this a day before the fix.
The leak made sure everyone around PHP paid the price.
This is not a one-country crisis.
This is the beginning of something much bigger.

Sorry if this offends food truck owners, but food trucks should be CHEAPER than restaurants.
I’m not paying $25 for tacos just to eat them standing next to a parking lot.
No dining room. No bathrooms. No comfortable seating. No real service.
How are you charging restaurant prices without offering a restaurant experience?
If I’m paying restaurant prices, I might as well sit inside a restaurant.
I feel like not enough people appreciate the brilliance that is Dr Horrible share.google/l9OOeJPiDJ8QJGf…
