Ghost's official ActivityPub integration is set to launch with Ghost 6.0, which is coming in the next month,
Federated Ghost. Ghost says: We're excited, but nervous. You never get everything done that you hope to, before launching a first version, but launch you must. This launch, though, feels bigger than most, because ActivityPub is more than a protocol or a fancy feature; it's a statement that the open web still matters.'

NYT ‘Connections' Hints For Tuesday, June 10: Clues And Answers For Today's Game
Find the links between the words to win today's game of Connections. Each day's game of NYT Connections goes live at midnight local time. Before we get to today's Connections hints and answers, here are Monday's: Hey there, Connectors! I hope your week is off to a great start. It's official: summer is finally here. Technically, it's 11 days early, but still, I know this to be true. I know it because after months of pain and waiting the pool in my building is finally open. As I write this, I haven't had a chance to dip in yet. But rest assured, I'll be swimming as much as I can over the next few months. I prefer to do so either after immediately after I wrap up work for the day or later at night when it's quiet and no one else is around. It's quite lovely. Anyway, yes, can't wait to get back in there as soon as I have some free time and the air is safe enough (thanks for disrupting my weekend plans, wildfires). Before we begin, we have a great little community on Discord, where we chat about NYT Connections, the rest of the NYT games and all kinds of other stuff. Everyone who has joined has been lovely. It's a fun hangout spot, and you're more than welcome to hang out with us. Discord is also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare (or not-so-rare) occasions that I mess something up. I don't look at the comments or Twitter much. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Tuesday, June 10 are coming right up. Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT's website or Games app. You're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There's only one solution for each puzzle, and you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you're incorrect, you'll lose a life. If you're close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you're one word away from getting it right, but you'll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it's game over. Let's make sure that doesn't happen with the help of some hints, and, if you're really struggling, today's Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication's Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed. Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find our hints Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query. Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today's Connections groups, I'll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them. Today's 16 words are... And the hints for today's Connections groups are: Need some extra help? Be warned: we're starting to get into spoiler territory. Let's take a look at one word for each group. Today's Connections word hints are… Today's Connections groups are... Spoiler alert! Don't scroll any further down the page until you're ready to find out today's Connections answers. This is your final warning! Today's Connections answers are... MEDIATE made the yellows crystal clear, immediately nullifying that JUDGE and JURY red herring. TEXT BOX did the same for the greens (I assume WORD was supposed to be a trap here). Two groups down in no time at all. Because I am a person of a certain age (but still young!), RADICAL shed light on what I assumed were the blues. Naturally, I sent through what I imagined were the purples first. Or at least I tried to, because I accidentally included CHILL instead of HEAVY. Oops. I didn't figure out that connection, but I probably should have. "JURY duty" was probably my entry point there. (I considered using "Call of" in the hint, but that might have made things too easy!) Anyway, I then sent the blues through to wrap things up. I'm not going to explain these ones, because I simply cannot imagine that anyone doesn't use these all the time. I say rad, WORD and CHILL very often. (In case you were wondering, the hint referenced Wicked and Bad.) I should have had a perfect game, but that's still win 105 for my current streak. For the record, here's how I fared: 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟪🟪🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 That's all there is to it for today's Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Wednesday's game if you need them. P.S. I do love a danceable indie pop tune and "Little Bit" by Lykke Li is certainly one of those. I have danced to this one many times, both at home and in clubs. It felt like this was everywhere for a while, and even now, I pretty much never skip it when it comes up on my massive everyday playlist. Such a gem of a song: Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Be kind to yourself and others! Call someone you love! Please follow my blog for more coverage of NYT Connections and other word games, and even some video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Sharing this column with other people who play Connections would be appreciated too. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes.
