I did a lot of cleanup in Pulse Scribe, the blogging platform I am building. Much of it involved cleaning up the admin UI and code. Along with a few overlooked items, like /poll is now /op for Opinion Poll. Finally, I added a big change: pasting an image into a post now uploads it without creating orphan images. I'm sure I will think of another change before I go to sleep, but this is most of what I am doing on this project for now.

The free icon set wasn't enough; I wanted more, and I have paid for Font Awesome Pro for years, so I might as well use it on my own website. Now my new blog system supports it, after a lot of problems with CORS cross-domain issues. Another new post type is videos, so I can embed a video and add a description. All that, and I'm at +90% of Super Grok for the week with half a day until reset, and I'm staying up way too late. Oh yeah, I had some Dashboard cleanup that gives more insight into views.

The continuous social media scrolling feed will be found to be one of the most toxic systems ever created: Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Shorts, you name it, is going to be found to have negatively impacted society, and readers of history will wonder how they were ever born.

I know Windows gets all the hate for its update timing and for annoying less-technical users, but when I went to read on my iPad, it said the update would start in 2 seconds. Is that timing or did I wake up the update by walking around with it?

Hold up, this is a new site. Did I just build a new blog with a bot's help? Yeah, I did, because I could and wanted to try it. It took about 2 days to set up on my local server and tinker with advanced features, but it works. This is basically a Tweet but on my site. Longer blog posts will show up soon, and I imported the old content, but most of it is archived because it wasn't really important.
