Published by skeptic

WordPress is one of the most popular content management system (CMS) solutions for managing the backend of websites available today. Using a CMS like WordPress eliminates the need for coding.

According to W3Techs, around 60% of all websites with a known CMS use the service.

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters | Substack

Published by Sam Flores

The global publishing platform Substack is generating revenue from newsletters that promote virulent Nazi ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism, a Guardian investigation has found. The platform, which says it has about 50 million users worldwide, allows members of the public to self-publish articles and charge for premium content. Substack takes about 10% of the revenue the newsletters make. About 5 million people pay for access to newsletters on its platform. Among them are newsletters that openly promote racist ideology. One, called NatSocToday, which has 2,800 subscribers, charges $80 – about £60 – for an annual subscription, though most of its posts are available for free. NatSocToday is understood to be run by a far-right activist based in the US and features a swastika, a symbol appropriated by the Nazi party in the 1920s to symbolise white supremacy, as its profile picture. The full name of the Nazi party was the National Socialist German Workers’ party. One of its recent posts suggests the Jewish race was responsible for the second world war and describes Adolf Hitler …

Strictly winner shares who should take over hosting from Tess and Claudia

Published by Sam Flores

Everyone has ideas on who should replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman as the new hosts of Strictly Come Dancing, after they fronted their final show last year, and now Carlos Gu – who won last year’s season with Karen Carney – has put his two pence in. “Emma Willis would be a great host for Strictly”, he told The Mirror on the red carpet at the TV Choice Awards. He also noted that she is “actually a huge fan of the show as well”, which would definitely bode well. Emma is one of many names that gets thrown about when talking about potential Strictly hosts, with plenty of the rumoured presenters responding in order to rule themselves out. Alan Carr and Amanda Holden said that they’d “said no ages ago”, while Bradley Walsh explained his specific reason for not wanting to do it.

What if you could not only watch the 2026 World Cup this summer, but also watch other people watch the World Cup? That’s the idea behind a forthcoming YouTube show hosted by Trevor Noah. The comedian and former Daily Show anchor will host a live World Cup watch party during some 25 matches in the tournament, which begins in June in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Noah will share a couch with “friends, elite footballers and top digital creators” while watching and providing commentary and conversation on the games. “The only thing that’s more exciting than watching every World Cup match is watching it with my best friends and new friends — and even my enemies who choose to support the wrong teams,” said Noah. “No suits, no stiff analysis, just full-on fans watching the greatest show on earth. Ole!” Noah’s Day Zero Productions is producing the show with Religion of Sports (Man in the Arena: Tom Brady) and Mainstay Entertainment (Noah’s Netflix’s comedy specials Where Was I and I Wish You Would).

You cherish them because interactions with users often result in a better understanding of what your code is doing out there in the wild.
