    I’m less concerned about the silliness of the whole “decode HTML” thing, and more concerned that someone was slapped for doing the right thing. Security is hard enough as it is, we don’t need people to be afraid to report issues, especially ones that are so blatant.

    I’ve traveled all over about 2/3rds of this country, sampling beer and wine as I go, and I seriously can’t find porters that are better than what I could find in the Midwest. Most don’t even come close. That’s kind of the magic of travel though, isn’t it? Not only do you get to find what’s extraordinary, but you also get to discover what’s extraordinary about where you are from.

    So yesterday, after my talk at GoDaddy we had a small, private gathering in the WP Dev Academy Discord, where @courtneyengle shared some really cool things about the future of the block editor. Looking forward to what the block editor has to offer!

    TODAY IS THE DAY. If you’re exclusively making sites with ACF and the classic editor, you’ll want to watch this.

    We’ll talk about how building themes with the block editor differs from the classic editor.

    https://t.co/CnmRBP5dAR After this talk is done, I will be doing a private Q&A session on WP Dev Academy’s Discord server for all members. If that interests you, come join the Discord server here:

    Event starts at 4PM EST, Discord Q&A starts at approximately 5PM.

    Ben: “Dad, you’re a ninconpoop!”

    Kate: “BEN we talked about honesty and kindness this morning, remember?!”

    (Today’s lesson was about how sometimes being honest conflicts with being kind, and how to navigate that.)

    So did my wife just say I’m a nonconpoop?
