Shakespeare! Neither before nor since has there been a man with such mastery of words and humanity. It is the bedrock upon which the foundation of modern literature is comfortably perched. Most importantly, it’s something I fully comprehend, even though I choose not to explain my comprehension at this particular time.
Join me, friend, and you’ll soon be victorious in your journey to embrace Shakespeare. I will guide you with wisdom and understanding. Think of me as your Lady Macbeth.
First off, do not be embarrassed by your initial comprehension level. You are forgiven if you can’t keep up with his characters’ witty quips, of which there are so many that I’m not even able to narrow it down to a single example. But please forgive me if I guffaw at those same quips with reckless enthusiasm. Something that will occur about a second and a half after everyone else starts laughing. This is how I typically laugh after hearing jokes I definitely understand.
The Drupal Association’s individual membership program has always played a crucial role in supporting the Drupal community and ensuring the ongoing success of the Drupal project. The program was initially set up as a transactional vehicle: aside from the badge and voting rights, members received access to discounts from Drupal services providers.
The individual membership program stayed on autopilot during the turmoil of the Covid pandemic as we made the difficult decision to cancel DrupalCon North America 2020. During this time, our members and other Drupal community supporters donated unprecedented unrestricted funds using the hashtag #DrupalCares.
I joined the Drupal Association about two years ago as the Development & Membership Manager. My role split my time between Drupal Certified partners and the individual membership program, however it was clear from the beginning that the individual membership program would need a lot more attention.
A 2023 Column Contest grand-prize winner, Laurence Pevsner’s Sorry Not Sorry investigates why we’re sick of everyone apologizing all the time—and how the collapse of the public apology leaves little room for forgiveness and grace in our politics and culture.

Around the world, computers were down. ATMs weren’t letting people get their money. Delta alone canceled more than five thousand flights. Hospitals halted surgeries and called off cancer screenings. Emergency dispatch services were disrupted. Eight and a half million Windows devices were affected. And one single company was responsible for what amounted to the world’s largest outage in the history of information technology: CrowdStrike.
It’s the kind of total failure that calls, obviously and at minimum, for an apology. And as always, your first response when you’ve made a mistake like this is going to be the response people remember. Here was what the CEO of CrowdStrike George Kurtz posted:
Harris campaign picks up speed and voters Democrats’ switcheroo on presidential candidates is turning more than Republican and pundit heads. On top of polling showing Vice President Kamala Harris picking up support among Black voters, The New Republic has a scoop this morning regarding growing support for Harris among Latino voters: Harris leads Trump by 55 percent to 37 percent in the head-to-head finding, which sampled 800 Latinos across Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina. The survey—provided to The New Republic in advance of its release on Monday—was conducted July 23-26, well after Biden stepped aside on July 21. The poll dovetails with other national polls finding similar advantages for Harris among Latino voters. But, significantly, the larger Latino sample size in the survey—commissioned by the voter engagement group Somos PAC and conducted by Latino pollster Gary Segura—provides a stronger basis for confidence that Harris’s lead among Hispanics is real.

Please help me. I’ve accidentally become the perfect choice to be Kamala Harris’s running mate. And I really, really don’t want to be VP.
Last week, I had everything going for me: I am white male middle-aged governor of a crucial battleground state, have a 72 percent approval rating among single mothers, and am a boat owner. Now, everybody’s telling me it’s my “duty to help save democracy.” I don’t want that target on my back.
What’s good about being vice president? Absolutely nothing. You spend the entire fall (apple-picking season) campaigning in the worst places on earth (Battle Creek, Michigan) for a job where, at best, you do nothing (boring) and, at worst, you get blamed for some crisis you had nothing to do with (the border).
Meanwhile, my term as governor of a popular swing state is up next January, and I was dreaming of finally going to culinary school. Now, I’ll probably have to meet J. D. Vance and shake his sweaty little hand.
If only my résumé wasn’t so damn impressive…
