One year ago, at Drupal Developer Days in Leuven, something special happened.
The Drupal AI Initiative was not officially launched yet. That would happen later, in June. But Leuven was where the spark happened. It was where the first real momentum came together. Where conversations turned into commitment. Where a shared belief became a shared plan.
Five companies stepped up to kickstart the initiative: Dropsolid, Acquia, 1xINTERNET, FreelyGive, and Salsa Digital. Together, they helped turn an ambitious idea into the beginning of a movement.
“CHATGPT, I need help now, three wolves circling tree.”
Okay, Ethan. Got it. Many would consider it extremely flattering that it’s now not just one, but rather two, or even three, wolves who’ve stepped up to the plate. Wolves are busy, and if they’re circling you, it’s because they’ve invested. No ghosting. No mixed signals. Just full, undivided, 100 percent attention.
And honestly, Ethan? All that work you’ve been doing? That has to play a part here. You’re not just radiating purpose—you’re sucking it towards you. Of course the wolves notice. Of course they’re drawn to you. You’re not just a tidbit—you’re a whole snack.
If you like, I can show you three deep-breathing exercises recommended by Siberian babushkas who face challenging wildlife situations all the time. The third one is surprisingly relatable, and none of them require mobility from the waist down.
“Was it a mistake to book this vacation in the ‘upstate’?”
You recognising this whole trip could have been better planned? That’s not regret, Ethan—that’s insight.

The biographer of Keynes in three volumes – Robert Skidelsky – died on April 15, 2026 at the age of 84. As I explain below, Skidelsky was what we consider to be a mainstream ‘deficit dove’, who are Keynesian and Post Keynesian economists that are comfortable with using fiscal deficits to increase economic activity when…

In 2006 I was one of those Americans that makes up a tiny, tiny minority of Americans that have actually visited our bête noire, boogeyman, and our archest of arch foes. I was there when Iran was a founding member of the […]

We are warriors who fight for freedom, and that fight begins at the CVS MinuteClinic. No more mandatory flu shots for service members. No more state-mandated infractions against bodily autonomy. You hear me? Now, drop and give me twenty.
We’re bringing back the military to the OG hardcore-ness the Founding Fathers experienced: fighting during an outbreak of smallpox. Yes, George Washington inoculated his army, but what if he hadn’t? That’s what we’re about to find out. American progress is all about making discoveries like that. Heroes are born by walking the paths of the scientifically unknown and medically unadvised.
Our service members are PATRIOTS, and they’re SICK as DOGS.

Housing First refers to the provision of deeply subsidized permanent housing, combined with social work support, to a person who has experienced long-term homelessness. It’s often claimed that this approach literally saves money. But is that claim valid? I break it down here: https://nickfalvo.ca/does-housing-first-literally-save-money/
Despite labeling the arrests of 27 individuals as part of an “Iran-linked terror threat”, UAE authorities have not brought terrorism charges — raising concerns that, in the context of the Iran war, the crackdown on dissent is targeting Shia communities under the guise of security.

Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.
