I’ve posted this before but since Trump will be holding another “America First” rally at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night, I thought you might want to see this again. It is chilling: An interview with the filmmaker:

Drupal 11.1.0 and 10.4.0 release dates
Drupal core typically has a minor release window the second week of December. This is to provide enough time after PHP and Symfony's release dates for core compatibility to be updated, but still far enough before the major end-of-year holidays to avoid interfering with vacations and travel.
This year, DrupalCon Singapore is scheduled for the same week as the minor release. Normally, we would avoid having a minor release the same week as a DrupalCon, but in this case we are unable to move the release date. We will aim to release 11.1.0 and 10.4.0 later in the week to avoid having the release during the actual days of the conference. The release window is now December 12-13 UTC.
Drupal 11.0 and 10.3 will continue to have security coverage until June 2025. So, it is safe for site owners to wait until January 2025 or later, if necessary, to update their sites.
For three hours!!! I don’t have it in me to watch the whole thing. But here are Tim Miller and Sam Stein giving you the highlights if you are curious. Miller says it was like being at a country club bar listening to two rich guys sitting there talking about some articles they read in the Wall St. Journal about whales. I think that’s being generous. Get this: Trump was three hours late for his rally because he was doing this podcast. Many of the attendees had already left and then he made the rest stand around in the cold and listen to Ave Maria. I’m not kidding.
30,000 people showed up in Houston last night in person too: Betting that abortion access can be a winning message in Texas and across the country, Vice President Kamala Harris rallied more than 30,000 people in downtown Houston Friday night to “Vote for reproductive freedom.” Those words were emblazoned behind Harris, U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, Texas country legend Willie Nelson and global pop superstar Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as they declared the next 11 days leading up to Election Day as the final push in an existential fight for freedom. In her 30-minute speech, Harris keyed in on her campaign’s closing message for the election’s final days, framing the issues of democracy and reproductive rights as two sides of the same coin. Harris argued Trump and other Republican officials will erode citizens’ rights, pointing to the U.S.
Nihon Hidankyo, Japan’s nationwide organisation of atomic bomb survivors, was awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. The award announcement said one reason the organisation received the award was that the personal testimony of its members has advanced “stigmatising the use of nuclear weapons.” When Nihon Hidankyo’s award was announced on Oct. 11, I recalled the visit Continue reading »
Marie Curie discovered radioactivity, Alexander Fleming found Penicillin: in the 20th century, their merit was clear when they received the Nobel prizes. In 2024, the Physics and Chemistry Nobels are unusual, and show that the nature of discovery is changing with the advent of AI. How? Continue reading »
“It was we who did the dispossessing. We took the traditional lands and smashed the traditional way of life. We brought the diseases and the alcohol.” – Paul Keating, Redfern speech.

‘I refuse to play the condemnation game. Let me make myself clear. I do not tell oppressed people how to resist their oppression or who their allies should be.’ Writer and activist Arundhati Roy has been awarded the PEN Pinter Prize 2024.

Capitalism would need to invent a Guardian, if it did not already exist, writes Jonathan Cook. And in turn, The Guardian would need to invent a George Monbiot if he was not already one of its columnists. Chris Hedges hosts a very interesting discussion with Guardian columnist George Monbiot on his new book about capitalism and its modern incarnation, neoliberalism. Monbiot Continue reading »
Golly, I don’t know why people think Republicans are anti-democratic: Representative Andy Harris, Republican of Maryland, appeared to voice support for a plan for North Carolina’s Republican-controlled Legislature to award former President Donald J. Trump the swing state’s electoral votes, according to video of a conservative gathering on Thursday that was posted on social media. Mr. Harris, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, later walked back his comments in a statement on Friday, saying that the “theoretical conversation has been taken out of context” and that “every legal vote should be counted.” His comments, reported earlier on Friday by Politico, came in an exchange with Ivan Raiklin, a lawyer and a supporter of former President Donald J. Trump who promoted a plan in 2020 to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence not to certify electors from several disputed swing states. Mr.

I debatten om det finanspolitiska ramverket hörs ibland argumentet att vi måste ha ett balansmål eftersom ett underskottsmål orättvist skulle belasta kommande generationer. Senast i veckan som gick vädrade ekonomiprofessorn Daniel Waldenström i en radiodebatt denna den politiska högerns populistiska favoritmyt. Offentliga skulder är normalt inget att frukta, särskilt om de finansieras inom landet (även […]
Enligt färsk statistik från SCB fortsätter arbetslösheten i Sverige att öka från en redan hög nivå. Justerat för säsongsvariationer ökade arbetslösheten från 8,3 procent i augusti till 8,6 procent i september. Detta om något borde vara en tydlig indikation på hur dåligt den ekonomiska politiken fungerar idag. Trots det lyser diskussioner om arbetslöshetens oacceptabelt höga […]

This food timeline started as a way to explore the revolution in Australian food that has occurred during the baby-boomers’ lifetime, but has since expanded to include more about the previous decades (and century) as well. Also included are overseas events and trends that had an impact here. The entries are brief, but there are lots of links if you want more information.
