Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges argues that liberal institutions—media, universities, and the Democratic Party—have weaponized antisemitism to crush dissent, aiding their own destruction in the process.

“Shy around strangers but will warm up”
It will take six months for your friends to even realize you have a cat. They thought your apartment just smelled like that.
“Treat motivated”
You’ll never enjoy a bagel in peace again. Cats can have a little cream cheese, it’s fine. Cats can lick cream cheese right off your bagel while you’re taking a bite. Cats can run off with the entire bagel, eat all the cream cheese off it, and hide the soggy remains under your couch for you to find once it molds. Look, cat ownership is all about choosing your battles.
“Independent”
Will ignore your existence except for twice a year when he’ll curl up on your lap out of the blue, until you inevitably ruin it by breathing.
“Bonded pair”
This one cat is so great you won’t even notice how much the other one sucks.
“Not good with dogs”
Met one dog and was not happy about it. We’re not sure, but we think he’s trying to assassinate them. Feels vendetta-based. And doodle-specific.
The Trump administration seems intent on undermining America’s ability to make human rights a significant element of its foreign policy. As evidence of that, consider its plan to dramatically reduce policy directives and personnel devoted to those very issues, including the dismantling of the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Rights, and Labor. Even worse, the Trump team has attacked a crucial global institution, the International Criminal Court, and put it under crippling sanctions that have ground its operations to a halt — all for telling the truth about Israel’s illegal and ongoing mass slaughter in Gaza. The Trump administration’s assault on human rights comes against the background of years of policy decisions in Washington that too often cast aside such... Read more

Health experts say to wash your water bottle every day. I definitely do this, even if I can’t recall the last time I actually washed my water bottle. I must wash it so often, all my water-bottle-washing incidents blend together. It’s involuntary, like breathing. You wouldn’t ask anyone how many times they’ve breathed today, would you?
Just like any other dish, a water bottle needs to be washed. Even if your water bottle looks clean, it’s teeming with mouth bacteria and other particles that need to be vanquished, just like the invisible dirt, sweat, and skin flakes on bedsheets and bras—which I always wash weekly, sometimes.
But even if I didn’t wash my water bottle every day—hypothetically, of course—it only contains water, right? Water is what you use to clean dirty stuff, so in a way, a water bottle is self-cleaning. Like an oven. Or a vagina. For someone who doesn’t ever wash their water bottle (a.k.a. not me), this theory—like a self-cleaning water bottle—would definitely hold water.

Still on Drupal 7? You’re not alone, but it’s time to plan ahead! Thousands of websites still run on Drupal 7. And while Dropsolid offers extended support, the reality is clear: Drupal 7 is at the end of its innovation cycle. The question is no longer if you should move, but how and when.
At Dropsolid, we guide organizations in making the best choice: whether that means extending support on Drupal 7, migrating to modern Drupal (currently Drupal 11), embracing the power of Drupal AI or a combination of this.
Migrating from Drupal 7 to a modern Drupal version is a big step, and many site owners face challenges that delay that move. These are the most common migration roadblocks:
Technical Hurdles
Organizational Barriers
‘Put war away with time, come into space’. So wrote Charles Olson in 1946, in a poem which hinted that we should remember the dead of war — in his case, the masses of ‘unburied dead’ of the Second World War — only in order to make a better, more freeing life for the ‘new […]
