I asked ChatGPT how to create a WordPress plugin. Such an amazing tool, it leaps over barriers to entry in a single bound. 😉#
This just in from Occam's News. The states of Colorado, Maine and Illinois have guts and the members of the so-called "Supreme Court" enjoy wearing robes to work and they have nice offices, and don't want to be shipped off to a gulag, or worse, once Putin's lapdog is back in the White House. #
Sidebar -- this also explains the behavior of the owners of the media companies, such as the New York Times. He doesn't wear a robe, but otherwise, Fear of Gulag probably has a lot to do with what he does.#
From the Credit-Where-Credit-Is-Due department, links that are jokes was a practice I first saw in HotWired in 1994. Here I am thirty years later and I'm still stealing the idea and every time I do, I think of Joey Anuff and Carl Steadman's brilliance. #
Screaming into the void, which is what the media we have now is really good at, gets us nowhere.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
