Most “scalable” WordPress builds fail over time.

Not because of WordPress, but because governance wasn’t designed for change.

Here’s what sustainable architecture really looks like: https://t.co/85JSJdUikV

Multisite or single-site for your university?

Choose wrong → governance chaos + content sprawl
Choose right → scalable digital ecosystem

Here’s how to decide:

This means a lot. The Stanford GSB Centennial site, bringing together a global community, is nominated for a Webby (School/University).

A great example of WordPress powering complex ecosystems at scale.

Most enterprise CMS issues aren’t about content, they’re about scale.
Microsites multiply. Templates sprawl. Brand consistency breaks.
The answer? Modular content systems.

We get asked: “Is Modern Tribe overkill?”
Sometimes, yes. Smaller agencies can be a better fit for simple sites.
But when WordPress becomes critical infrastructure, bad architecture gets expensive fast.

Trump's DOJ deleted their own study about the rise of far-right violence in America.

When authoritarian regimes erase history, it's because they are trying to repeat it.

They want to pretend they are protecting us from violence they are responsible for.

Gov. Greg Abbott set a Nov. 4 special election to fill the seat left by Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death, leaving the Democratic district vacant for at least seven months as Republicans push Trump’s agenda through a narrowly divided Congress. https://t.co/PnQIyecCJq

Already voted? Or need something to entertain/distract you before you go?

We’ve got an episode for you. It’s all about elections…but you haven’t seen this ballot. Promise we’ll distract you and maybe even make you laugh!

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

“A floating island of garbage…?” Referring to Puerto Rico???
“Poisoning the blood of our nation…?”
We have “murder in our genes….?”
Fuck these racists. Latino men of good will, have pride in yourselves and your ancestors. A vote for Trump is a vote against self-respect.

[Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera]

Do the right thing for yourself and your country
She is a warrior and a peacemaker, and I am proud heartily to endorse Kamala Harris for President, but it may not be without complications. When my initial endorsement went viral, a photographer taking my picture for a magazine article about the endorsement asked if I was “worried about retaliation?” By whom? By Donald J. Trump, the once and possibly future president who vows political retribution, and the possible use of military force against the “ enemies within.”
When confronted by television’s Dr. Phil about his many menacing statements threatening retaliation, Trump dug in. “Revenge does take time. And sometimes revenge can be justified Phil, I have to be honest, sometimes it can.”
It is like the bad old days of Richard Nixon, when commentators opposed to his Administration were placed on the infamous Enemies List. Those listed were often subjected to abnormal attention from the IRS. Tax audits were Nixon’s favorite form of retaliation. Trump who feels he was the victim of unfair scrutiny and a weaponized deep state is more ominous. He makes it sound as if he’s going to get the Godfather’s Luca Brasi or the Proud Boys to perpetrate physical muggings. 
In addition to his lack of civility, racial stereotyping and sowing division, there are many crucial reasons to choose Harris over Trump. If you have a daughter, and I have three, it cannot be a close question. Only one candidate for president will honor her right to reproductive freedom, and that is Vice President Kamala Harris. In contrast, her opponent, former President Donald Trump is the principal architect of the legal regime that stripped American women of what, for half a century, they believed was a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, the right to choose for herself to have an abortion or use birth control. 
By stacking the Supreme Court, President Trump insured that the long arm of government will be in many of your daughter’s bedrooms forever more. True, some states have enshrined reproductive freedom in state constitutional amendments, but many women and even their doctors and care givers remain in jeopardy. 
So does Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act, which has helped millions receive necessary care and treatment. It remains under assault by Republicans unable to present a reasonable alternative. Blame Donald Trump who tried unsuccessfully to abolish the ACA, and will try again. Even the Child Tax Credit is in continuing peril by conservative think tanks bent on achieving a nation in which compassion is a commodity that has to pay its own way. 
There’s another political issue. Remember back in the 2000 presidential campaign when then VP Al Gore pretended that he didn’t know Bill Clinton? It was a mistake that overlooked impeached Clinton’s otherwise pretty successful presidency, and it cost Gore the election. Similarly, If I could advise the Harris campaign in these last two weeks before the nation votes again, it would be to embrace President Joe Biden. 
Aside from the melancholy way in which the old timer was involuntarily cast aside, remember, he’s also had a pretty good presidency. “Bidenomics” largely succeeded in wrestling down inflation. Unemployment and violent crime are also down, China is being confronted, so is Russia, especially in Ukraine, NATO is on sounder footing, and Israel is winning this phase of the unending Holy War. 
The border is the biggest mess, but the undocumented aren’t “poisoning the blood of the country.” And those who are attempting to exploit the relatively few incidents in which undocumented immigrants commit heinous crimes, they are, in the words of a father of a young woman killed by one, are “heartless” and “despicable.” It is another reason I am voting for her. Donald Trump has thrived on conflict and confrontation. Kamala Harris, as president would seek to heal our divisions and celebrate our unity and patriotism.

Sore Loser
With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States. Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties, most polls show his race against V.P. Kamala Harris is too close to call.
The first time he ran for president in 2016, he was coming off the last season of Celebrity Apprentice. I had a front row seat as a finalist on that final season and marveled at his audacity with his checkered past to seek the highest office in the land. Then, in the blink of an eye, he went from novice to formidable challenger to victorious over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
As President he was a loyal friend, who allowed regular access. My resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most doubts. His presidency was underrated. Throughout his first big scandal in office, the 2017-2019 Mueller Investigation into allegations Trump conspired with Russia to undermine our political process, I stuck with him, deeply suspicious of constant efforts to undermine his Administration.
The last time President Trump and I spoke was Friday, November 13, 2020, when he called me at home. It was ten days after his narrow lost to Joe Biden. He was calling to get my take on the controversies surrounding the election, which appeared to have been decided by a handful of votes in several states. I asked him what he would do if the vote count remained against him. As I reported on Fox News that same morning, Friday the 13th, he told me he was a reasonable man and would do the right thing if that time came.
It never did. Instead, President Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election. With a motley supporting cast of increasingly fringe characters, he careened from one bizarre theory to the next, offering no meaningful proof, that he had been robbed by the Democrats.
None exists. If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen.
In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol for which he was Impeached. As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people. Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back.
Maybe you are inclined to vote for the former president anyway, because he says he will cut your taxes or build the border wall or pull out of NATO or put tariffs on China. However, you justify voting for Trump, adopting his big lie about the stolen election makes you a liar.
Better to admit he lost last time but that you don’t care because a Harris presidency would be a disaster, or you admire his defiance in the face of an assassin’s bullet. Just don’t pretend that he got robbed in 2020. That is a lie. Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution. That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.

@ryanwelcher That was such an amazing talk. I can't wait to start playing around with it more.

[Matt Lanza @mattlanza]

Restoration progress is slow today it seems. Very slow. Believe less than 100k have come back. These things are hard and I’m the first in line to share that with people. But this is pretty bad. I don’t want to hear that the state is looking at this. This needs to be federal.

A thread w/ a few things to say about Beryl and Houston and my own messaging. If you don't live in Houston, you do not understand Houston. People here are SKIDDISH about storms. And for justifiable reasons. This place has had disaster after disaster in recent years. 1/15
