How this post was made I want to be upfront: this analysis was created in collaboration with Claude, Anthropic's AI, using Cowork mode. I didn't spend hours manually scrolling through timelines and taking notes. Instead, I had an idea for a piece of content — "what stories does Lovable tell on social media?" — and…

There was a time when political communication felt… clever. Not correct. Not loud. Not dripping in moral certainty. Clever. If you go back and watch seasons 1 and 2 of The West Wing, it’s almost unsettling how good it is. The writing assumes the audience is intelligent. The characters argue. They doubt themselves. They change…

I’ve always loved the sound of ambient synthesizers — lush pads, shimmering arpeggios, the kind of textures you hear in Stranger Things or Brian Eno records. I also own a Korg Monologue and have recently become a little obsessed with the Hologram Electronics Microcosm. So I decided to see if I could build my own.…

WordPress lets you make a post public, private, or password protected. What it doesn’t let you do is make it unlisted. YouTube has had this for years: a video that only exists for people with the link. It does not show up in search. It does not appear on your channel. It is not fully…

If you are using WordPress MCP, then try this prompt out. Please audit my WordPress website for accessibility issues and give me a practical, prioritised report. I want you to review the site against WCAG 2.2 AA and focus on both the frontend experience and likely WordPress-specific causes behind any problems. Please check for: Because…

Something very strange is happening across the web. AI is linking to articles that do not exist. And those fake links might be one of the biggest free traffic opportunities for your blog. This is not theory. This is happening right now. And if you run a WordPress site, you can take advantage of it…

I was walking through a city in England recently, which I will not name, mainly because it was all of them. Everywhere I looked, people had the facial expression of someone who has just remembered they left a lasagne in the oven in 2007. Nobody was striding. Nobody was beaming. Nobody was even doing that…

WordPress 7.0 Beta is now available for testing. This isn’t the final version. The full release is expected in April 2026. But it gives a clear look at what’s coming. Here are the main features in the beta. 1. WordPress now includes the foundations for AI The beta introduces something called the AI Client. This…

If you’ve built a site with WordPress Full Site Editing, you’ve probably hit the same wall: getting your header to behave the way you actually want it to is surprisingly difficult. Block themes are powerful, but sticky headers, transparent overlays, and scroll effects require JavaScript — and that’s not something the block editor gives you out of the box. Sticky Header for Block Themes is a lightweight plugin that fills that gap, without touching your theme files or requiring any code. What it does At its core, the plugin makes your block theme header sticky…

This tool generates a custom WordPress instance that runs entirely in your browser using WordPress Playground. When you enter a name and optional message, the app creates a Blueprint — a JSON configuration that tells WordPress Playground exactly how to set up the environment. The Blueprint includes a small PHP plugin that gets injected into…

My memory is bad. Not “where did I put my keys” bad, but “did I do anything at all last year” bad. So I wrote this down. When you turn a year into numbers, the vibes immediately flee the scene. In their place are facts, standing there silently, judging you. Here is last year, by…
