I am like at the center of the Venn Diagram for this #Vergecast where @imdavidpierce has @gruber and @anildash as guests. I ran a Moveable Type site (inherited from a co-worker). I ran multiple Textpattern sites. And I could probably dig up email exchanges with the late Dean Allen. Thanks, guys. :) https://www.theverge.com/podcast/950082/markdown-history-gruber-vergecast

Israel will continue to strike Lebanon for the time being and won't be withdrawing from the south, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on ‌Thursday, after Lebanon and Israel agreed to a ceasefire contingent on Hezbollah halting attacks.

Despite all of the hype from @gruber and others re: Kagi search, I did not expect to find it materially better than DuckDuckGo. I was 100% wrong and you can take Kagi from my cold dead hands.
