Can confirm

Thanks, but I’m not so sure about that! Sending verification madness and managerial toxicity are equally yoked 😂

Guh. I don’t envy you that.

Using Cloudflare DMARC Management? I dealt with a similar issue for about a month and half before my untimely layoff and all I could see in CF was that Gmail is being super finicky about SPF in spite of watertight DMARC and DKIM.

I don’t like what you just did to my brain, Joe

✨ I just published a brand-new blog post about a modern CSS feature!

But, honestly, I’m still on the fence about it. 😅

In this post, I’ll dig into the gnarly issue I ran into, and share three possible workarounds. Along the way, you’ll learn a bunch about the CSS cascade and specificity!

The Big Gotcha With @starting-style • Josh W. Comeau

CSS has been on fire lately, with tons of great new features. @starting-style is an interesting one; it allows us to use CSS transitions for enter animations, something previously reserved for CSS key...

Oh yeah, and also the weight loss has been staggering (for me)

Counterpoint: I think you’re on the right track. Limiting mine has significantly decreased my anxiety issues as well as stopped draining my wallet.

Nah, they just think they have to argue with everyone because in their heads their worldview is constantly under assault

Trauma bonds and toxic environments seem to attract a certain flavor of “elite” WordPresser…

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Please check out the plugin and submit issues and PRs so I can get my Github and development games up.

There's also some cron functionality I'm attempting to build into the Youtube Channels Block so it's more or less set-it and forget it, but that's proving challenging due to the inherent nature of blocks.

Videos are lazy-loaded and because the YouTube API fetching is very resource-intensive, there's caching but I'll be honest — I'm not sure how well it works. Today's performance is way better than yesterday's, though.
