This country was founded on the idea of being rooted to where you live — but the corporate state has flipped the script.

En skillnad i räntekänslighet mellan ett enskilt land och valutaunionen som helhet innebär att den gemensamma styrräntan passar dåligt för landet både när penningpolitiken är åtstramande och när den är stimulerande, det vill säga nästan hela tiden. Omfattningen av detta problem beror på hur stor skillnaden är i räntekänslighet. Att ekonomin förefaller vara mer räntekänslig […]
I posted the following on my Fediverse (via Mastodon) account. I'm reposting the whole seven posts here as written there, but I hope folks will take a look at that thread as folks are engaging in conversation over there that might be worth reading if what I have to say interests you. (The remainder of the post is the same that can be found in the Fediverse posts linked throughout.)
I suppose Fediverse isn't the place people are discussing Rob Reiner. But after 36 hours of deliberating whether to say anything, I feel compelled. This thread will be long,but I start w/ most important part:
Spitting venom and breathing fire and brimstone, we now see Trump’s presidency for what it is: the lashing out of a wounded giant as it comes to terms with its own decline — perhaps the point at which such people are at their most lethal. The publication of the new US National Security Strategy has […]
The number of people in the UK without work that want it
Yours truly såg i går kväll på senaste avsnittet av Ekonomibyrån på SvT. Panelen skulle diskutera en ny studie av Institutet för Näringslivsforskning om ojämlikhetens utveckling i Sverige. Studien visar bland annat att antalet miljardärer i vårt land ökat från 50 till över 500 personer de senaste två decennierna. Och som alltid nuförtiden, när man […]
In this post, we share our CI strategy for all Drupal contributed modules. We believe that other large open-source projects may want to adopt or learn from the way we implemented a solution to centrally-manage CI while still allowing per-project customization.
How Drupal contributed modules do CI today?
Let's give some more details about how did we get here.
The past
In summer 2023, only 2 and a half years from today, we enabled the usage of GitLab CI for the Drupal ecosystem, which includes all contrib modules and Drupal core. We announced and promoted it at DrupalCon Lille 2023.
This new system would replace entirely the DrupalCI, the custom testing solution that Drupal core and projects used for nearly 10 years prior to enabling GitLab CI.
Core tests went from taking nearly 1h to taking 10 minutes. Adoption for contrib modules was as easy as adding a seven-line file to their project.

Let’s focus our campaigning on things we can actually change. By George Monbiot, published as a BlueSky thread, 15th December 2025 Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, I’ll seek to lay it out simply. This note explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, […]
All explanations of a phenomenon have underlying premises which limit the number of alternative explanations. These premises significantly affect the capacity of different potential explanations to truly explain anything. If we have a system in which underlying structural factors govern the functional relations between the parts of a system, a satisfactory explanation can never disregard […]
Israel has no diamond mines, yet it dominates the global trade. This investigation exposes how diamonds sold in the West bankroll Israel’s war on Gaza, fuel violence across Africa, and are falsely marketed as "conflict free."

A couple weeks ago we discussed why money still flows into America: returns are higher. Generally US assets are highly valued and money tends to flow into the US over other countries. This is because US assets out-perform. The Chinese stock market, like the US market of the 50s and 60s, trades sideways. The US […]

Parliamentary ‘ping-pong’ occurs where the House of Lords fails to agree a piece of proposed legislation with the House of Commons. The Commons sends a bill it has approved to the Lords, who then amend it and send it back to the Commons. If the Commons rejects those amendments, the bill goes back to the […]

Hey
Player and their primary partner date solo. No one’s thrilled about it, but it’s the only way they can maintain the appearance of a happy marriage that hasn’t been sexually satisfying in years. Still, it’s the suburbs, and people talk.

Player and their primary partner say they’re taking a break from it all while their kid applies to colleges, but are both secretly sleeping with the bi neighbor who sees the same couple’s counselor with her own wife, who is unaware that she has been having an affair with the nonbinary spouse of her synagogue’s queer Deadhead cantor for sixteen years.
