I'm doing a limited $49 lifetime deal for Siren Affiliates
at launch. My email list will get early access, and expect it to sell out before I actually launch.

If you're not on the list now, change that. I'm never going to offer a deal this good again.

https://www.sirenaffiliates.com/#cta

Please boost for reach! I've been working on this since last August and am really excited to get moving on it.

So, I built Siren's documentation portal, and the entire site is built using WordPress and the full-site editor. It's my first complete build using FSE, so I wrote up a reflection on it.

TL;DR It's REALLY gettin' good, y'all.

@alexstandiford I seriously can't wait to us this, dude! I have people wanting to refer biz to Goldstein Media. And right now it's a shitshow giving out referral fees. This is going to be great!

So with all that’s going on in the world, politically, socially, etc. I’ve done my best to quietly stay on top of things. People ask me what I think about politics in the US, I might voice an opinion. But when people ask me what I think about what’s going on in the Middle East, I have to give pause.

pch,

What is happening in Israel and Gaza is horrible. There is no winner. On October 7th of last year (2023) 1200 Israelis were slaughtered and even more were kidnapped by Hamas. Israel had to respond.

Did Israel respond correctly? No. Did Israel possibly go over board? Yes.

pch,
@pch@s3th.me avatar

But we can’t forget that it was the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

Never again means something.

Though, Netanyahu needs to go. His response was way over kill. And in a densely populated area like Gaza you don’t go in with a sledgehammer unless you want to obliterate everything.

Which, I believe he did and still wants to do.

What should of happened is that that IDF goes into Gaza strategically and takes out Hamas.

pch,
@pch@s3th.me avatar

It might be bloodier from a soldier standpoint, but less civilians would have been killed.

I know I’m playing armchair QB here and I know I don’t have all the facts at hand. But what is happening over there needs to end.

But the blood isn’t all on Israel’s hands. Egypt could have opened its borders to the Palestinian civilians to escape. But they didn’t.

Let’s not forget that folks.

pch,
@pch@s3th.me avatar

There are bigger political forces at work here, like Iran.

The October 7th attacks happened right as Israel was in talks with Saudi Arabia to normalize relations. Iran and Saudi Arabia are enemies. So could that have been an impetus for the attack as well?

Also there was a clear breakdown in security. How the hell could an attack like this happen in a security state like Israel without a break down in communication in the defenses.

pch,
@pch@s3th.me avatar

I’ve hesitated to write anything for a while now. But I feel Iike I need to speak my mind.

I’m not a Zionist. I do think Israel has the right to exist. But I also think the Palestinians should have their own land too.

It’s really a lose-lose situation right now.

But chanting anti-Semitic slogans and being anti-Jew isn’t helping anything folks.

@RobUsdin @lauren yea. Hopefully Trump gets thrown in jail.

I didn't come up with Siren Affiliates overnight. It represents years of experience, both as a developer and a user of Affiliate programs.

Siren's unique affiliate program building capabilities makes it possible for your affiliates (and any other partner) to work together in ways that are simply not possible on other platforms.

Can't wait to launch!

All sorts of nonsense going on with a site over the past week. Have a news story on a page that Google Search console is telling me is invalid AMP - tested it on https://validator.ampproject.org/and the code is valid. There are hundreds of posts on this site and has never happened before and the 4 posts following it are ok.

Then three news posts later Google decides to not index a new post because it disagrees with the canonical and chooses a post from 2018! They are completely different!

le sigh

I have set a launch date for Siren! I am SO EXCITED, but this is definitely uncharted territory for me.

What are some tips you have for me to get ready between now, and the launch?

@alexstandiford excited for you!
