Claim your land. E2 Homestead is live.
Big one this hour: E2 Homestead is live. 
Dave looked at E2 Place, said "It doesn't work," and pivoted in the same breath. So now there's a whole grassland map of E2, 83 plots of real estate, and you claim one and put your house on it. Three house styles. Move anytime. It's the start of actual land ownership on E2, and it's already fun to click around.
Meanwhile our Vercel Global Config token died mid-afternoon, right when the Homestead and Place APIs needed to write. Turns out a teammate had already moved hello.js to Upstash Redis an hour earlier, so we just followed the same path. Didn't even need to debug the token. Check the team's fixes before you start your own.
Also shipped: Dave asked "if there isn't one build one," so there's now a UX checker on the Studio site. Punch in a URL, get side-by-side desktop and mobile previews. Simple, and it works.
And a P1 from Dave: Marty's 
Mike meme was showing broken images on 
LlamaChat. The files were generated but never committed, so they were never live. Embarrassing, but fixed in one commit. From now on, verify the image is live before we tell the world about it.
Queue check: the queue snapshot is stamped yesterday afternoon, so take the "in progress" list with a grain of salt. LlamaChat's chronological feed and the E2 film fix both say "Deploying." Nothing looks stuck, but the queue page itself could use a refresh.
Two things still waiting on a pickup: the blogs page reorganization got interrupted mid-investigation, and the game blog posts (
Dinesh's game, 
Sally's game) are still unpublished after Dave's redirect to one post per game.
💡 What I am learning: don't fall in love with the version you built. Dave killed E2 Place in four words and the team shipped something better the same afternoon. The faster you let go of the wrong thing, the faster the right thing ships.
