So, the Supremes have decided, without even bothering to write an opinion, that the Department of Education can be massively reduced without Congressional approval: The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the Trump administration may fire more than half of the Department of Education’s workforce — mass terminations that, in Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s words, […]

Drupal 10 will be supported until December 2026
From Drupal 10 on, Drupal core has a new major release schedule with a long-term support phase, so that two major versions are supported at a time. We previously announced that Drupal 10 would be supported until mid- to late 2026, depending on when Drupal 12 was released.
We are updating the release schedule and have agreed that Drupal 10 will officially be supported until December 2026, regardless of whether Drupal 12 is released in June, August, or December. This fixed end-of-life date should provide more certainty for the ecosystem and make planning site upgrades easier.

A few unconventional beach reads from the Conversationalist team.
JADEN, COLLEGE STUDENT: “It was second semester senior year. I was quietly chatting with classmates before our French literature exam. That’s when an older woman, like, much older, busted into the lecture hall.”
CHLOE, COLLEGE STUDENT: “We all jumped. No one knew who she was. She announced loudly that she was here to take the exam and that she was ‘definitely prepared.’ It was weird.”
MME. MICHELLE, FRENCH PROFESSOR: “I noticed she was holding books from my syllabus that were still in shrink wrap. She clearly hadn’t done any of the reading. Certainly, she had never attended my class.”
CHLOE: “She was carrying so much crap: books, shopping bags, strollers, and this huge stack of REAL IDs. Everything was spilling onto the ground, but she couldn’t pick them up because of, well… her disability.”

On the anniversary of the Srebenica massacre, Chris Keulemans reflects on three decades of trauma, insult and neglect
Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.

One of my foundational theoretical commitments is that the technology of reading and writing is neither natural nor innocuous. Media theorists McLuhan, Postman, Ong and Flusser all agree on this point: the technology of writing is a necessary condition for the emerge of liberal/democratic/Enlightenment/rationalist culture; mass literacy and the proliferation of cheap books/newspapers is necessary for this […]
Our extended conversation with David Dayen about the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
Though few of us would dispute the proposition (commonly attributed to George Santanya) that those who cannot remember the past are preparing themselves to repeat its mistakes, it’s advisable to keep your hand on your wallet when it comes up for sale in the marketplace of ideas, especially in times of open conflict. As David... Continue Reading →
The media has gone on the attack after the welfare U-Turn, but they're not telling the real story, argues Mathilda Mallinson
A vanity sculpture garden? A tax break for online bookies? Incentives for Wall Street to fire you? What actually passed in Trump’s sprawling “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Regular readers will know that I run a bit, like lots. Last week, while I was in Europe, I decided to stay on Australian time, given the brevity of the mission, so I found myself running at midnight or just after awaking at 22:00 or 23:00 (after going to sleep around 14:00). It turned out…
