Anyone else heard of plural? It’s my first time encountering info about it and I’m very intrigued and absolutely want to know more about all the facets.

Finally got my homeowners insurance out of my mortgage escrow process. Now we can pay it directly to the insurance company once a year and have it in a savings account the rest of the year gaining some interest. Next is to do the same for property taxes if we can manage that.

Get ready for all the tipped workers to be further exploited by their employers if that tip tax cut goes through. Definitely a short sighted solution aimed at political gain only.

Google said people are searching more and longer like that’s a positive thing. I don’t doubt people are searching longer to get to what they were looking for, the whole search is beyond f’d now.

A far-right Jewish/Israeli group that claimed credit for the arrest of a Palestinian activist and permanent US resident who the Trump administration is seeking to deport claims it has submitted “thousands of names” for similar treatment.

Betar said on Monday that it had “been working on deportations and will continue to do so”, and warned that the effort would extend beyond immigrants. “Expect naturalized citizens to start being picked up within the month,” the group’s post on X read.

It was revealed this week by Zeteo that Khalil had emailed Columbia University the day before his arrest, appealing for protection and telling the university’s interim president that he was being subjected to a “dehumanizing doxxing campaign” that week led by Davidai and David Lederer.

So...I had to check this story from a couple of sources, cause I was sure I was just high from paint fumes or something. But, after a week of his supporters saying he wasn't a nazi just cause he did a #nazi salute... #elonmusk made a surprise campaign rally appearance for the nazi-adjacent #AfD where he said nazis should move past past guilt about the old nazis. These are new and improved nazis. Holy hell y'all, this dude is IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

2. 10:59AM today - The Pods plugin itself was taken away from Jory (long time Pods contributor who I requested it transferred to) pending getting this approval (after the fact).

3. Matt or whoever decides it's actually fine.

4. 2:15PM today - Plugin is transferred back to Jory

OK so here's what happened today:

1. Someone on the plugins team saw Pods was transferred from a banned account (mine).

And now my WordPress.org Slack account has been deactivated, assuming that was part of the syncing of .org disabled accounts to deactivating WP Slack accounts. But still, that truly made the cut deeper and more official in my eyes.

#WordPress

Nothing is safe here, unsure if his account will be locked or if Pods will be closed.

This was an attack not just on me but also on the Pods project as it means we can't do releases. I have suspected this could happen since the WPE team was locked out of .org so I've already gotten consent from a long time Pods contributor for them to take over the .org listing.

Now that I have been locked out of .org officially, I made a formal request to transfer ownership of the Pods plugins into their control so that we can continue our normal release processes.

#WordPress

Today my WordPress.org account was disabled unexpectedly. I did not request that and I have received no communications with reasoning ahead of time or at the time of that being disabled (like most people who were deactivated on Slack or .org disabled).

This puts the @pods project at risk on .org since we've used the security best-practice of having release confirmations enabled on the Pods plugins on .org since they added that feature. To confirm a release, you must log into .org
