A couple days ago I discussed the Dutch taking over Nexperia, a Chinese owned but Dutch domiciled company making commodity semiconductors. The company became Chinese owned because it was almost bankrupt, the Chinese bought it, fixed it and kept many jobs in Europe, including the headquarters. What I didn’t know about the story on Monday […]
Remember Steven Moffat hiding a secret Doctor for the first time in Doctor Who that nobody ever figured out? Here's what Moffat had to say...
You probably don’t hear “The River of Dreams” much anymore. It’s never on the radio, and no one is streaming that song of their own free will. But here in my dental practice, I hear “The River of Dreams” at least fifteen times a day. Once per appointment, in fact.
Honestly, it’s out of my hands. Billy Joel and the American Dental Association reached a binding agreement sometime in the mid-2000s. Dentists across America are required by law to pump out “The River of Dreams” so that every patient hears it when they’re in the office. In exchange, we get, well, I don’t know what. But four out of five of us agree “The River of Dreams” is a banger. We’re legally obligated to say that.

Hello everyone. RAISE YOUR SOUL! is my new book which I am taking the liberty of presenting to you. It is unlike anything I have written before. Setting aside high theory, it is the story of five women who, over of a hundred years, resisted fascism, authoritarianism and chauvinism. It is, I believe, a universal […]

If your organisation is innovating with Drupal AI, we would be delighted to feature you in a future post.
Witze Van der Straeten is a Front-End Web Development student at Arteveldehogeschool in Belgium. In this post, he shares how discovering Drupal has completely changed the way he thinks about design, development, and community.
Discovering Drupal
Before my internship, I had actually never heard of Drupal. At school, we learned about other CMSs, but Drupal was only briefly mentioned, we never explored it in depth. During my search for an internship, I connected with the owner of Calibrate, who was immediately enthusiastic and invited me to join the team.
A year into his leadership of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn made time to travel to the state of Tabasco, in the south of Mexico, to visit his friend and fellow left-winger, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). It must have been nice to spend time with a successful progressive politician who seemed on the cusp […]

For fifteen years or so, I’d been kicking around the idea of resurrecting the artist-apprentice model that reigned in the art world for hundreds of years.
Again and again, I’d heard from young people who lamented the astronomical and ever-rising cost of art school. For many college-level art programs, the total cost to undergraduates is now over $100,000 a year. I hope we can all agree that charging students $400,000 for a four-year degree in visual art is objectively absurd. And this prohibitive cost has priced tens of thousands of potential students out of even considering undertaking such an education.
For years, I mentioned this issue to friends in and out of the art world, and everyone, without exception, agreed that the system was broken. Even friends I know who teach at art schools agreed that the cost was out of control, and these spiraling costs were contributing to the implosion of many undergraduate and postgraduate art programs.
Anytime you arrive at an event dressed similarly to another guest, things can feel a bit awkward. But the Vatican is notoriously secretive. You had no way of knowing what kind of huge hat the pope would be wearing tonight. Nevertheless, you’re in this mess, here’s what to do:
Try Not to Draw Attention to the Hat
Many times, we think everyone is looking at us, noticing every flaw we have and every piece of clothing we’re wearing. But, in reality, everyone else is busy with their own life, obsessing over their own clothes and flaws. How many people were wearing a Yankees cap on the subway this morning? What about something weirder, like a Mets hat? See? You have no idea. If you act natural and don’t mention it, it’s highly unlikely other guests will even notice two people are wearing enormous pope hats.
