The WordPress-WP Engine drama doesn’t look great for Matt Mullenweg and, by extension, the companies he controls, including WordPress.org, Wordpress.com and Automattic. It appears that Matt is extorting WP Engine and WP Engine did nothing to violate WordPress license — not even close.
The messy WordPress drama, explained — Emma Roth at The Verge.

I’m moving from Mastodon to Micro.blog
Another way to say that is I shut down my Mastodon account, which was @mitch@mastodon.social, and transferred everyone that followed that account to mitchw.blog, which is hosted on Micro.blog, and where I’ve been posting updates for about two years.
My reason for making the change is to reduce the number of services I’m on, simplify posting, and also because I just plain like Micro.blog (though it can also sometimes be frustrating).
If you’re reading this from Mastodon or another fediverse service, hopefully you didn’t notice the change until I told you I’d done it. The fediverse makes that kind of thing easy (when it works right).
When I migrated from mastododon.social to Micro.blog yesterday, I thought I might set up a read-only Mastodon account for accounts I want to keep up with. Then I thought nah. Simplify. One fewer social platform.
Also, I've switched off automatically syndicating posts from Micro.blog to Tumblr. For the few posts I want in both places, I'll just cut-and-paste 'em there manually.
Simplifying!
Something I saw while walking the dog: Neighbors set up this sprawling little toy village on the front lawn of a condo complex. There is a lot going on!
