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.

When visiting my children in Stockholm, I nowadays find myself unable to resist visiting Stefan Nilsson’s grave at Katarina Churchyard on Söder. Stefan’s brief, sorrowful tones have, over the years, become part of my everyday life. His music for Bille August’s and Ingmar Bergman’s masterpiece The Best Intentions is among the most beautiful and evocative […]

Obviously, Epstein was scum of the lowest order; a blackmailer, a pimp, a pedophile, and a traitor. (Working with Mossad to blackmail American politicians was surely treason. And given that Israel is a genocidal, religious ethno-state, possibly the most evil country in the world, well…) But like many effective evil people, Epstein had his virtues. […]
Everyone’s got their thing. For some, it’s baking. Others, gardening. Me? I like to take a modified Honda Accord, drive over 100 mph, and swerve between cars, almost killing entire families, babies, men, women, whoever.
That’s my thing. Gets my balls rolling. Sometimes I’ll almost kill a family by swerving in front of them at 125 mph with just barely enough room to squeeze in, and then I’ll immediately swerve all the way over to the right and get off at the exit. I could have just slowed down and changed lanes and calmly exited, not almost killing anyone, but then I wouldn’t have almost killed an innocent family, and almost killing them is what gives me something to do when I’m bored.
By the way, I’m not trying to actually kill one. That’s not my thing at all. If that’s what you’re getting from this, then I don’t know what you’re reading or how you thought that, but you’re totally off base.
When it was announced that leftist Catherine Connolly had won a record-breaking vote to become the new Uachtarán na hÉireann, or President of Ireland, the pearl-clutching headlines from the British right-wing press were foreseeable. Conservative columnists seemingly vied for the most hysterical. A Spectator columnist mildly wrote, ‘Catherine Connolly’s election is a low for Ireland.’ […]
If you want to know more about how the current form of capitalism is undermining (a thick conception of) democracy, and what can be done about this, then you should read Lisa Herzog’s latest book The Democratic Marketplace.

In an interview with The Grayzone, author Andrew Lownie details shocking findings of his research into Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Describing Andrew as his “Super Bowl trophy,” Epstein used the prince for intel, which he passed to foreign spy agencies. Lownie says further revelations threaten to “bury” the Royal Family. Prince Andrew’s decades-long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was “earlier, longer, and far more intimate than anyone has previously admitted,” historian Andrew Lownie told The Grayzone. Their friendship was […] The post The intel scandal behind Prince Andrew’s twisted Epstein exploits first appeared on The Grayzone.

Nara, Japan – Drupal founder Dries Buytaert declared a "historic moment" for the platform at DrupalCon Asia today, pointing to four major initiatives running simultaneously that he says will transform Drupal: Drupal CMS 2.0 (launching early 2026), Drupal Canvas, site templates and marketplace, and the Drupal AI program. "For 20 years people have been saying Drupal is too hard to build pages with. We are changing that," Dries said during a keynote Q&A with Pamela Barrone, CTO of Technocrat and Product Owner of Drupal CMS. Each initiative has the potential to transform Drupal individually, Dries argued. Together, "the compounding of these ideas will be transformational."
