Interesting move. I think it will displease those allergic to the monarchy (and I’m one of them) but I think it’s a strategic and highly symbolic move to indicate Carney’s desire to forge stronger ties and allyship with Europe, gradually moving away from the U.S.
King Charles will open Canada's Parliament on May 27, Carney announces. First time this happens in decades, apparently intended as a message of Canada's distinct sovereignty.

In a Slack post, @photomatt proposed accessibility be a canonical plugin rather than just baked into core. Here's info about the proposal and why @joedolson, @RianRietveld, and I don't think that it's a good idea. Global Accessibility Awareness Day is happening this month and I would encourage everyone to consider and speak up about the impact of this proposal should it go forward. I honestly cannot see any upsides. All I see is increased overhead and the possibility of fewer contributors when large organizations can no longer use WordPress. therepository.email/canonica…

Given how front and center design is these days, I am still shocked that there is no “code of conduct” or guide to ethical design principles. I had my students write the Designers “Hippocratic Oath” and am sort of in love with what they came up with!

If it's true that WooCommerce is losing 100 employees with immediate effect, that is extremely bad.

If you haven’t already, do yourselves a favour and watch “The French Connection,” “Unforgiven,” and “Mississippi Burning.” Gene Hackman was extraordinary, RIP.
Gene Hackman has passed away at the age of 95. Gene was one of the greatest actors of his, or anyone's generation. He was a powerhouse, as adept at comedy as he was drama. Today is a very sad day, we've lost a legend. Gene was a giant of cinema. R.I.P Gene Hackman

If an English-speaking politician in another province said the same of a Qc francophone minister’s English, QC’s National Assembly would have already passed a unanimous motion condemning it & calling it “Quebec bashing” but I guess it’s ok if he gets to make fun of anglophones.

StellarWP cut my position today for budgetary reasons. If you know of a role that might be good for me, please send it my way. I’m specifically looking in marketing and community. Thank you! (No hate to Stellar or the folks there. These things suck, but they happen.)

Hey y’all. So tomorrow, Jan 20, 2025, in light of my country’s incoming administration, I will stop posting on my once-beloved Twitter. I don’t want to go. But I can’t stay. Open source might be all we have left, and I am going to give it my all. Please join me! 🦋🐘

The #WordPress Foundation’s founding documents say that the Foundation manages the WordPress repo. They also say that the Foundation’s website is wordpress.org. HMMM as they say.

If someone can confirm to me that Matt is no longer able to access Post Status, then I may consider joining for the first time. His unmoderated behaviour there has been the single biggest deterrant to me joining, and it is not a safe space while he is there.

The sad story of how Automattic became the villain they painted WP Engine to be. A judge delivers swift justice for WP Engine - and more embarrassment for Automattic. What was the point of Automattic damaging WordPress and themselves - all for nothing?
