Only a radical approach to our broken privatised energy system can make British bill-payers genuinely better off, argues Donnachadh McCarthy
Jury trial is one of our most cherished democratic rituals and a cornerstone of public confidence in the criminal justice system. Twelve citizens, drawn at random from the ordinary fabric of life, sit together and weigh the state’s evidence against the accused. Their pivotal role, a feature of English law from the very earliest times, […]
Cory Doctorow reveals more unexpected ways that Big Tech has become "enshittified."
Author and activist Cory Doctorow has a grand unifying theory of why everything sucks now — and how to fix it.
This Tuesday report will provide some insights into life for a westerner (me) who is working for an extended period at Kyoto University in Japan but who over the years of working here has increasingly began to understand the language and local cultural traditions. Sadly, this is my last Kyoto Report for 2025. My time…
The 2025 Annual Maintainer Check-In is now complete, a huge thank you to everyone who responded and to all the maintainers who continue to keep Drupal core moving forward.
As part of this process, we’ve confirmed that a number of Drupal Core subsystems and topic areas are currently without an active maintainer.
If you’ve ever thought about stepping into a maintainer role, or co-maintaining alongside others, now is the perfect time to get involved.
Why maintainers matter
Maintainers play a key role in ensuring the quality, stability, and momentum of Drupal core.
Maintainers help shape the direction of their subsystem or topic area, guide contributors as well as triage issues and review merge requests.
You don’t need to be a long-time contributor, if you’ve been active in a related area or are keen to grow your involvement, we’d love to hear from you.

Making popcorn again, huh, Snoopy? Keep it up. Sounds like pure nostalgia, especially with the way this year’s been going.
I bet Linus would’ve called those popping kernels “little pangs of painful joy,” or something equally poetic, but of course, he’s not coming this year. Not after his meaning-of-Christmas bit took a turn to the right last winter. I guess the community access TV video went viral, and he’s booked solid through the spring with CPAC.
Good grief. This year feels heavier, doesn’t it? Heavy in the air, in the bare grocery aisles, in the empty pit of our stomachs. Heavy in the way people say, “It’s okay, we’ll make do,” but their eyes say they’re ready to boil their best friend alive for sustenance.
Sorry. We’re not there yet. Although I do wonder why we haven’t seen Frieda’s cat, Faron, in a while. And sometimes I look at Woodstock and think, just academically, “Rotisserie ready.” Lucy charged me ten cents to work through that one.

One of the predictions I made many years ago was that Long Covid would slowly cripple workforces. Covid still exists, and that we deliberately don’t try to count cases any more doesn’t change that. This is typical of our handling of all problems. We just pretend they don’t exist and won’t have serious consequences if […]
The BBC released deleted scenes from the Disney+ era Doctor Who Season 2. Unfortunately, the one everyone wants to see isn't one of them...
I’ve been bred fine, Mr. President. Finer than the rest. When the light comes up over the pens, it strikes my feathers like a torch, and I know it is not the sun but the world itself come to see me. They say a bird cannot understand destiny, but they never met a bird with mirrors for eyes. I have looked upon my own reflection in the metal of the trough and seen greatness staring back.
The others think of corn. I think of legacy.
They cluck and gossip about the day’s feed. I think of the table. Of the silver laid out like a promise. Of the man whose name rings in the air like thunder over dry land. Donald J. Trump. I say it slowly, like a prayer. There is power in the syllables, heavy and shaped by history. The handlers speak of him as if he were weather itself, vast and inevitable, and I reckon that’s true enough. You can’t fight the weather. You can only rise into it or be buried by it.
