What Non-Weird Adults Act Like This?

Others would sign up to be cannon fodder The spouse the other day blurted out (re: the MAGA cult), “What are they so angry about? What about their lives in this country is so terrible?” It’s a fair question. These MAGA people’s lives look pretty un-terrible. What does a rig like that truck at the top cost? How oppressed are you if you can afford to own and operate vehicles like that (and these below), accessorized as they are? “Fully 83% of the arrestees resided in areas with an average annual per capita income between $20K and $50K,” reports one study of January 6 arrestees. Just a guess, but the boat parade and truck parade people are not likely to have family incomes as low as $50k. Nor the Texas women who chartered a private jet to attend the Stop the Steal rally on January 6, 2021. They aren’t that worried about the price of gas. You can call them many things, but just don’t call these adults weird. Nothing weird about adults wearing diapers (outside their clothes). The clip below speaks for itself, as does the former celebrity. Or these totally non-weird people.

Tax the billionaires or their oppressive power will only grow. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 31st July 2024 Who is government for? It’s a question we should never stop asking. The answer that keeps coming back is “not the majority”. For example, the first phase of the Covid-19 pandemic produced remarkably consistent polling […]

Scientists largely agree that Earth is in the midst of a sixth mass extinction, so we will be called upon to say goodbye to animals with increasing frequency. Unfortunately, the average American knows pitifully few ways to do so. If you ask anyone on the street, their list will likely stop short after just two: “In a while, crocodile” and “See you later, alligator.” In light of this, we offer the following non-exhaustive list of animal farewells:

Take care, Polar Bear

It’s been real, Hawaiian Monk Seal

See ya mañana, Marine Iguana

Sorry we’ve been so negligent, Sumatran Elephant

It was nice to meet ya, Vaquita

Gotta bounce, Greater Sage-Grouse

Have a great day, Giant Manta Ray

Kick rocks, Arctic Fox

Sorry for revvin’ our engines, Galápagos Penguins

Wouldn’t you agree highways are fine though, Greater One-Horned Rhino?

So long, Dugong

Our bad on the grievous damage to your corpus, Yangtze Finless Porpoise

Take a hike, San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike

With all the news and activities happening around Starshot, you may have missed this, but the Drupal Association has launched the Starshot Contribution Credits. This consists of credits granted to a series contributions, in particular:

  • contributions to any modules, themes, etc that are designated as part of Starshot, 

  • 50 credits per week for each FTE (full time employee) equivalent dedicated to starshot, 

  • 1 credit per $100 invested for financial contributions and finally,

  • Special credit bounties for individual issues of exceptional importance.

You can read more about the contribution bonuses https://www.drupal.org/about/starshot/contribution-credit

The last point, special credit bounties, opens the door to a contribution coming from the Bounty Program.

David Glanville and Arif Merali Short term interest rate (STIR) futures are the bedrock of interest rate markets, used to price expectations of central bank policy rates and other UK rate derivative markets such as swaps and options (see Figure 1). They are key for the transmission of monetary policy and provide an avenue for … Continue reading Caring for the ‘future’ →

Updated window for Drupal.org login flow deployment

Update: We have completed our deployment window with Drupal.org's new login flow successfully enabled.

Please contact help@drupal.org if you encounter any issues that can be resolved with the information below.

The Drupal Association engineering team is preparing to switch over to our new single sign-on solution for user login. This is an important step in our work to upgrade Drupal.org, and in the future will give you the ability to use your Drupal.org identity in new ways. 

This switchover was previously scheduled for Thursday, 25 July, but unfortunately we had to roll-back that attempt. After pausing for a week to avoid disrupting the Drupal 11 release window, we are ready to try again.

The switch-over is scheduled for:

  • Thursday 8 August - from 9am to 1pm Pacific (16:00-20:00 UTC).
