Web 3.0 is just the web rediscovering its roots.
Web 2.0 is an aberration whose initial promise ultimately failed to deliver, creating Tech Bros instead.
I dropped a piece on The Future of the CMS, building on a number of ideas surfacing in multiple #CMS ecosystems including #TYPO3 #Drupal #EmDash #WordPress amid emerging AI realities. Two parts, but not long, give it a read. toderash.net/blog/the-cms-of…

Launching specification.website.
A platform-agnostic spec of what a good website does: SEO, accessibility, security, agent-readiness, performance, privacy, i18n.
Every claim cites a source. Ships with a checklist, llms.txt, MCP server, and Agent Skill.
Free. Open Source.

BREAKING: New study finds 50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down.
Welp. @FastCompany just jumped the shark.
This news is worth a reblog!

Congrats to the entire team. 🥂 #FCMostInnovative
WordPress' Feckless Leader keepin' it classy.
At this rate, a *lot* of people are soon going to be glad to finally be off @wordpress.
Glad you're finally off @WordPress, which was inevitable after your and @karimmarucchi 's failed coup attempt. Seems FAIR!
