Trump’s bid for regime change in Yemen should be anathema to both America Firsters and Democrats, but will anyone speak out?

The Albanese Government is considering responding to the Trump administration’s tariffs on Australian steel and aluminium by placing a tariff on the Kardashian family. ”We were initially against retaliatory tariffs as the consumer is the one who pays the price,”... Read More ›
An Update Regarding the 2025 Open Source Initiative Elections
I've explained in other posts that I ran for the 2025 Open Source Initative Board of Directors in the “Affiliate” district.
Join us THURSDAY, March 20 at 1pm ET / 10am PT, for our regularly scheduled call to chat about all things Drupal and nonprofits. (Convert to your local time zone.)
We don't have anything specific on the agenda this month, so we'll have plenty of time to discuss anything that's on our minds at the intersection of Drupal and nonprofits. Got something specific you want to talk about? Feel free to share ahead of time in our collaborative Google doc: https://nten.org/drupal/notes!
All nonprofit Drupal devs and users, regardless of experience level, are always welcome on this call.
This free call is sponsored by NTEN.org and open to everyone.
National Park Service workers who care for the White House were exempt from a wave of mass firings that gutted the agency.

The Albanese Government has jammed itself by trying to not talk about the greatest threat to Australia’s future, but has now opened itself to the charge of playing politics with security issues. The absurdity was on full display in a front-page story last weekend, when The Saturday Paper reported that the government gave a secret Continue reading »
Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton have proven too gutless, so far, to speak frankly to Australians about the implications of the imposition of new tariffs by the US, the first of many, to be imposed on Australia. They have expressed some ritual regrets and said it was a poor reward for their sycophantic grovelling over Continue reading »
Democracy has just been overthrown in an EU nation for the first time ever – with the tacit backing of the European Union itself. Buckle up: if the pre-emptive coup in Romania is allowed to stand, this means that the EU has torn up its own rule book and welcomed a dictatorship into the community. Continue reading »
Why does Australia continue to have a rampant cost of living crisis? That’s the $300 billion question. The hard men of Australia’s economic press claim it’s because of inflated wages and low productivity. Yet evidence suggests it’s mainly because of our big four banks. We have a stubborn “cost of living crisis” as mainstream media Continue reading »
If Donald Trump has done nothing else, he should have convinced Australian strategic thinkers that the long-standing mantra of China-bad/America-good is no longer appropriate. It is testimony to how deeply held such views are within Canberra’s policymaking elites, however, that even someone rated as the “worst president ever” by American political scientists is unlikely to Continue reading »
Damien Kingsbury’s recent piece, Timor-Leste appears to abandon sustainability, recycles tired tropes from Australian academics bent on safeguarding Canberra’s interests in the Timor Sea. From bugged cabinet rooms to relentless critiques of Timor-Leste’s oil and gas plans, a pattern emerges: undermine Dili’s ambitions to tilt benefits toward Australia. Kingsbury’s latest “salvo” exposes not just bias Continue reading »
Is Trump mad? If declining to share the joys and troubles of the whole human race, to decline a seat at humanity’s common table is a form of madness – then yes, Donald J Trump is mad. What is madness? To order the confinement of a person for their safety and well-being, as well as Continue reading »
Something similar could be said about almost all Western policies except those which make the rich richer. “Is the policy working? No. Are we going to continue? Yes.”
They’re giving Trump congressional votes, helping MAGA in blue states, and resurrecting their unpopular has-beens. Polls show America hates it.
5 a.m.: I wake up at the crack of dawn and shoot myself up with a cocktail of hormones.
7 a.m.: Now that I’m roided up, I log onto Facebook and cyberbully women by telling them I’m going to beat them at all their sports today.
7:20 a.m.: From my liberal woke closet, I pull out an outfit that is nefarious and confusing, and promotes my radical belief in the existence of more than two genders: jeans, a compression top, and a floral short-sleeve button-up shirt.
8 a.m.: I arrive at work wearing the single most charged clothing accessory ever created: My THEY/THEM pronoun pin. I love shoving my gender agenda in everyone’s face.
8:30 a.m.: In our morning team meeting, I bully my colleagues by politely correcting them on my pronouns.
12:00 p.m.: I schedule my weekly top surgery because I hate women.
When the Office of Digital Learning transitioned out of the university and to a new nonprofit organization created to expand the reach of the University of Oklahoma’s online programs, we had an opportunity to rethink and expand our role under a new name. The decision to adopt the moniker Academic Innovation was more than a […]
A campaign to punish a small independent theater for screening No Other Land is just the latest move in Miami Beach’s growing crackdown on Palestine solidarity, making the city a model for nationwide suppression.

So fuckin’ like, in those dahk medieval times, the Vikings were goin’ bonkahs all ovah the fuckin’ place n’ both men n’ women thought it was wicked awesome tah wield weapons. N’ I guess that isn’t exactly too fuckin’ new; it’s just that we had a multi-centuhry chunk’ah time between then n’ now in which it was really fuckin’ frowned upon in the womens’ case. But it’s impohrtant tah remembah that we’re talkin’ ’bout spee’ahs, swohrds, n’ axes—shit like that. Not semi-automatics ah explosive fuckin’ ohrdinances. The Vikings nevah cahred fahr that shit n’ they still don’t, even if the eastuhrn trade routes kindah fuckin’ backfi’ahd on ’em n’ now Stockholm’s got violence tah rival that’ah Chicago ah LA.
