More WordPress Drama + Another Google Update Just Started...

First of all, I hope you are having a great Friday so far!

I just hit publish on another news podcast episode where Jared and Morgan dive into the ever evolving WordPress drama.

You can watch to the full story and today's episode right here.

This week, a judge ordered WordPress to stop blocking WP Engine from utilizing Wordpress.org.

I will simply say that some of the actions by founder Matt Mullenweg have felt petty. And a judge appears to agree.

In other news, Google just released ANOTHER core update that started yesterday. Incredible.

2 core updates in 2 months is not something I recall happening in recent memory.

We will have more analysis once the update is finished rolling out (typically takes 2 weeks).

And finally, Jared and Morgan share a couple of side hustles they are working on and 2 weird niche sites!

Read, Watch, or Listen to today's episode right here.
