As the digital landscape evolves, organizations relying on Drupal 7 (D7) face a pivotal decision: opt for Extended Support or embark on a migration to Drupal 10 (D10)?

Both options have their pros and cons, depending on your timeline, budget, and long-term digital strategy. Let’s break it down so you can make the best decision for your organization.

Option 1: Extended Support – A Temporary Safety Net

Extended Support ensures your D7 site remains secure and functional beyond the official end-of-life deadline, giving you extra time to plan a migration.

Ex-GOP Senator and Republican Jewish Coalition chair Norm Coleman proclaimed with a straight face that Jews control the world during a Jerusalem conference featuring a speech by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.  Former US Senator Norm Coleman has raised eyebrows by declaring that “the masters of the universe are Jews” at a major Zionist lobby event in Jerusalem. In an address to a summit hosted by the Adelson-funded Jewish News Syndicate on April 27, Coleman pointed to various major technology firms […]

Over the past few weeks, the Marketplace Working Group and volunteers have been busy laying the foundations for the months ahead. As a reminder, our goal is to determine whether a Drupal Site Template Marketplace can be designed in a way that is trusted, inclusive, sustainable, and viable—and to reach a go/no-go recommendation before DrupalCon Vienna.

From Idea to Critical Assumptions

Over the past few weeks, the Marketplace Working Group has been focused on a key early step: identifying the assumptions that must be true for a Drupal Site Template Marketplace to succeed.

Rather than moving directly into planning and building, we are working transparently with the community to surface and stress-test our most critical assumptions before making any final decisions.

In this update, we’ll share where we are now—and where we still need your help to validate what matters most.

Liberal Party Wins Canadian Election

It’s unclear if this will be a majority or minority government. I’ll update once we know.

The left-center NDP is being slaughtered and seems likely to lose its official party status.

Five months ago I would have said, and did say, that the Conservatives would form the next government, with Poilievre (a Trump figure) as Prime Minister.

Fortunately, Trump truly is a Christ-like figure, and raised the Liberal party from the dead. Poilievre mishandled Trump’s threats, saying that Trump had a point and so on. Living in an right wing echo chamber he thought that Canadians aren’t patriotic, and most are. This was an unforced error. Ontario Premier Ford did the opposite: he ran against Trump, called a surprise election and won handily. I despise Ford, but he’s a smart politician. Poilievre, on the other hand, is just an attack dog, and a true believer in Trumpist style right wing politics.

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s remarks that autism ‘destroys’ children have prompted outrage among many autistic people, who said they had done things Mr. Kennedy claimed were impossible, like hold a job, write a poem, play baseball, and go on dates. They added that the lives of people who did need help performing daily activities were still worthy of respect.” — New York Times

I’ll say one thing for Robert Kennedy Jr.—he’s got some fucking nerve. The treatment he received at St. Eligius Hospital for his brain worm was second to none. Still, here he is out here spewing absolute garbage about autistic people, even though his life rests in a member of that community’s hands—i.e., mine.
