Dancing was the first step to falling in love, and falling in love was the first step to lying down in tandem. Not soon after Elizabeth had persuaded Mr. Darcy to join her in a Scotch reel, were they flushed from exertion; their bodies vexed with desire. Elizabeth had wanted nothing more but to marry for love, believing matters of the heart must never consume one’s rationality, but Mr. Darcy’s sturdy bratwurst had been pressing up against her the whole eve, and she was filled with carnal desires.
And so, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, two grown adults of reasonable attractiveness, found themselves attempting to engage in fornication. With the servants sent away and the curtains drawn, they retired to his chamber to smash nether regions.
Mr. Darcy, a man with an estate of 10,000 per annum, was reduced to a man well below his station by his lust. He threw Elizabeth on his bed with the vigor of a militia officer with a salary of a mere 100.
How a new film stitched me up like a kipper. By George Monbiot, adapted from a BlueSky thread, 16th December 2025 This is a note about what I see as a serious breach of journalistic ethics, in the making of Sofia Pineda Ochoa’s online documentary Greenwashed. She interviewed me for the film, but neither before, […]
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.

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 […]
