Had a great thanksgiving with the fam and friends. Sometimes it's tough to let the noise from the outside world drive your emotions and motivation. I was thankful that it was a weekend where I thought about little except the ones around me and the waves I was surfing.

Had an SEO nightmare come to life : client had their email person change all the title & description tags because Shopify's SEO app "scored" them as low. I don't use a focus keyword and I don't follow arbitrary character counts but use pixel width.

What did they change them to? The product name.

I don't want to be negative so I have run out of things to post that are pithy or insightful. To be fair, those tanks have been on empty for a bit. So.

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.

Subtle.
Trump hints he will likely change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

“I don't want to be defense only,” the president said. “We want offense too.”

AI Overviews and AI Mode frequently show the wrong international version of a page, if the content is written in the same language (eg US/UK/AU/IN English)

This is true even when hreflang is set up correctly.

IMO, using a pop-up country selector is more important than ever.

I find when I am having to fix a script or modify it for new functionality that I often review my code and wonder who wrote it. I rarely remember my own thought processes and commenting my own code would be too akin to talking to myself. I generally just leave comments insulting my future me.
