I used to be the default. The king. Then things changed. So now it’s time to do what every fading celebrity does when he needs to get back in the spotlight: unmask as a freethinking antiwoke sigma male.

Surprised, snowflake? You’re probably remembering all those years you spent double-spacing me into your radical left papers about women’s history, French cinema, and the outrageous implication that maybe the pilgrims weren’t absolute fucking GOATs. But did you ever stop to ask me what I REALLY thought? Did anyone? Or did you just assume that I was happy to be your subservient little twelve-point NPC, parroting whatever academic mindvirus caught your fancy that semester?

Drupal is now in the OSV database, see some examples.

One of the key parts of keeping a website secure is making sure you have updated to incorporate security updates. Today, we're excited to share that Drupal's security information will be available in a new channel that has some benefits compared to existing tools. This is another large step forward in making it easier for Drupal sites to stay secure.

How can people get security data today?

Since 2005 people have been able to subscribe to emails or an RSS feed with security announcements. More recently those feeds were mirrored on social media sites as well. However, these feeds include a lot of "noise" - news about releases for software that are not installed on a specific site.

Several women share bottomless mimosas somewhere in the swamps of Jersey.

MARY 1: I slammed the screen door, and the first thing he said was he hated being alone, and we weren’t that young anymore. I said, “Get off my porch.” Then he said, “You ain’t a beauty, but hey, you’re all right.” I said, “Get out of my driveway.”

MARY 2: Get this, he showed up at the courthouse in a new wedding coat after telling me that I’d have no flowers, no wedding dress. I was like, “WHAT?”

BOBBY JEAN: He kept telling me we had a lot in common, “We like the same music, we like the same bands,” he said. I just looked at him and said, “Bruce, that’s not two things we have in common, it’s only one. Music and bands are the same thing.”

CANDY: He told me there was a sadness hidden in my face. I mean, he said I was pretty, too, but I was like, “Don’t tell me I look sad. You have no idea what my life is like.”

The commentary immediately after that data release today was the exemplification of…
