Call it a "mini calzone" and people are impressed, but call it a Hot Pocket and all of a sudden everyone is looking down on you
I should not be allowed to play with video software (paging @Maffewgregg )

Anyone know what happened to El Generico? He just disappeared from wrestling a decade ago.
On This Day in ROH - December 18th, 2010
El Generico defeats Kevin Steen in a Mask vs. ROH Career Fight Without Honor at Final Battle.
As a result of the stipulation, Kevin Steen was forced to leave Ring Of Honor.

I tried to explain #wpdrama to my psychiatrist a couple days ago and I think I broke her brain a little bit

I see words no longer mean things.
(As I understand it, this also means that you can now see users you've blocked in your timeline if you're mentioned by them. Which is probably even dumber than the thing they called out.)

Did someone at WPE run over Matt's dog? I'm still trying to figure out exactly why he's gone so gonzo and am running out of ideas. #wpdrama

A gentle reminder: someone staying with @automattic doesn't necessarily mean they agree with Matt, just as someone leaving doesn't necessarily mean they disagree. Life is complicated, the job market is rough, big lump sums of cash are tempting.

get the popcorn, kids
Matt Mullenweg and Automattic’s self-proclaimed scorched earth campaign against WP Engine has harmed not just our company, but the entire WordPress ecosystem. The symbiotic relationship between WordPress, its community and the businesses that invest millions to support WordPress users, and advance the ecosystem, is based on trust in the promises of openness and freedom.
Matt Mullenweg’s conduct over the last ten days has exposed significant conflicts of interests and governance issues that, if left unchecked, threaten to destroy that trust. WP Engine has no choice but to pursue these claims to protect its people, agency partners, customers, and the broader WordPress community. Like so many of you, we love WordPress and are committed to the stability and longevity of the community.

I just realized what's wrong with "Coronation Starscream" -- it has both feet!

So how hard would it be to configure a #WordPress install to look somewhere other than .org for updates? And to copy the repos and APIs needed? Why am I asking? No particular reason.

This is absolutely insane and such a disgusting abuse of power by @photomatt. I have clients using @wpengine and now they can't easily install plugins or update themes. #WordPress
I want to share: WordPress.org has blocked @wpengine customers from updating and installing plugins and themes via WP Admin—disrupting essential work for #WordPress users, agencies, freelancers, and plugin developers.
