Did some modeling... What's the most likely future? WordPress as a share of all websites, starting from 40.7% today. The number that actually matters is not the decline, it's the acceleration. History: - Jan 2025: 43.6% (the all-time peak) - Apr 2025: 43.5% - Jul 2025: 43.4% - Oct 2025: 43.3% - Jan 2026: 43.0% - Apr 2026: 42.5% - Jul 2026: 41.5% - Sept 2026: 40.7% Future #1: If the rate holds at the current 1.2 points a quarter: - Dec 2026: 39.5 - Mar 2027: 38.3 - Jun 2027: 37.1 - Sep 2027: 35.9 - Dec 2027: 34.7 - Mar 2028: 33.5 - Jun 2028: 32.3 - Sep 2028: 31.1 Future #2: If the acceleration continues at the rate it has for four straight quarters (each quarter losing about 0.35 more than the last): - Dec 2026: 39.2 - Mar 2027: 37.3 - Jun 2027: 35.0 - Sep 2027: 32.4 - Dec 2027: 29.5 - Mar 2028: 26.2 - Jun 2028: 22.5 - Sep 2028: 18.5

Well said and well written. Full agreement. Hung out with a friend who builds data centers today. Notes: - They're offering 400-home towns with $1.2m annual budgets $30m/year for 40 years.....and getting turned down. - Reasons: 2-3 of the 5-6 person town council have local businesses and are worried they'll be scorned locally if they vote yes - There's a loud 20% that's anti turning down a 60% who are big thumbs up on it but don't want to publicly fight. - He travels with security and receives death threats weekly - Energy is not the immediate top problem, it's entitlements. - They're having the construction GC bring all their subcontractors to town mtg's to show the job impact - Unions in MI and other places are defunding Dems bc they're anti-jobs now. He got emailed this while we were hanging. All of this actually, strangely, gives me hope. Because it's so feverishly dumb for local towns to turn these down that the dam will break. But, meanwhile, China is on its way to basically limitless electricity. AI supremacy might be for all the marbles. We must accelerate.

Wordfence launched an AI agent earlier this year that hunts wide. Now, it has one that hunts deep, and its first big find is a critical RCE in one of the most popular WordPress themes. 🔗 therepository.email/wordfenc…

Yeah, it's a good point. Most web host have not set the expectation of being proactive. Hosts might step in and fix some bad code if it breaks but not before hand. They want to be hands off. I suppose it all comes down to what the customer "picked" as far as services go.

a lab in the netherlands scanned couples during orgasm and stumbled onto the strangest finding in sex research. when women wore socks, the orgasm rate jumped from 50% to 80% the researchers weren't studying socks. the scanning room was cold, some women complained, socks were offered. suddenly the success rate exploded and the team realized they'd accidentally run the most important experiment of the study the mechanism showed up right on the brain scans. female orgasm requires the amygdala, the brain's fear and threat detection center, to power down. cold feet kept the threat system quietly online. warm feet let it switch off. that tiny bit of physical discomfort was enough to block the entire cascade - her brain cannot climax and scan for problems at the same time. the systems are neurologically mutually exclusive - socks are a stand-in for the real variable: comfort. temperature, privacy, no time pressure, no risk of interruption, nothing pinching or hurting. every small discomfort is a tax on the fear center - this is why the same technique works one night and fails the next. the variable that changed wasn't your hands. it was her nervous system's threat level - the environment is doing foreplay before you touch her. warm room, locked door, no rush, phone away men study techniques for years and lose to a cold room. her nervous system decides if orgasm is possible before your skills ever enter the conversation. handle the amygdala first. the socks were never about socks

I have been saying this forever. Just google “90% of vc’s add no value…70% add negative value “ and my name likely pops up.
