just tried using the full site block editor in WP.

i gave up after 35 min.

(a rant thread)
no. don't take away my navigation menus. how the hell do i control this thing? no menu edit screen?

i also see any navigation menus i created (wp-cli launch script) is a "classic menu" and my menu to edit/add to that nav menu is gone. awesome
cool. UI bugs that were in the block editor were NOT fixed before making THE WHOLE SITE USE THAT UI... so now with more complex block structure... we get EXPONENTIALLY MORE AWFULLNESS.

cool cool cool...

Per previous thread about childhood & manhood/womanhood conversation:

I never went on a daddy-daughter "date" in my life, but I did regularly go to the junk yard w/ my dad to pull parts.
(Fwiw, I've never liked the language of "dates" w/ our kids. I understand the intention & gladly affirm the desire to spend quality time w/ them, but again, it feels like a frame of adulthood. Also, apparently, #getoffmylawn.)
Obviously, lots of great parents go on "dates" w/ their kids & make different choices about what's age appropriate & when. At same time, it's good to step back & Q what we accept as normal.

I recently had my 24th anniversary at work so I thought I'd share some of my best Microsoft memories over the next year.

I started working for Microsoft Consulting Services on Feb 14, 1994(Valentines Day) in Minneapolis. I went onsite with a customer that same day, getting introduced around. I also setup my first "laptop"-a Compaq Portable 386. "Weighs less than 20 pounds!"

This was also when the excitement for Windows 95 was just starting. Here's one of first free t-shirts I ever received. For a day or 2 I worked the booth at the Minnesota State Fair, demonstrating Win95 to fair goers.

1/ It is time for my first-ever #getoffmylawn tweet
2/ I predict that the combo of the extreme self-focus of selfie culture/social media and the "right not to be offended" is gonna go badly
3/ People say offensive shit to me all the time. 99% of the time it is crap. The 1% of the time it changes my mind is really important.
