On the longer time scale that we feel in nature, the violence of colonial capitalism seems almost fleeting. ‘Mother Nature will outlast all of this’, Barkandji man Woddy Harris told me, gesturing across his hometown of Wilcannia, two hours’ drive from Broken Hill, and which has a majority Barkandji population. I wondered about this when, […]

“President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter, who added that any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.” — New York Times

Everyone agrees that President Trump has been “damaged very greatly” by the radical left’s many witch hunts against him.
First, they tried to connect him to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, which the President won fair and square—by a lot. Then they went after him for obstructing that investigation a bunch of times.
After that, they alleged that the President was keeping classified documents containing military secrets at Mar-a-Lago—which, by the way, hosts incredible movie premieres, fundraisers, and so many other events attended by thousands—and that he was obstructing that investigation as well.

Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny were busy cleaning their grandfather’s gutters when he made an announcement.
“Children, we’re going to Washington, DC, to see the White House!”
“Oh, gee,” exclaimed Benny, “I’ve always wanted to visit a castle!”
“Silly Benny,” said Violet softly, “the White House isn’t a castle. It’s the temporary home of our democratically elected president.”

In my DrupalCon Vienna keynote, I talk about how Drupal is adapting to an AI-driven web through AI-enabled visual editing, site templates, autonomous agents, and workflow orchestration.
The web is changing fast. AI now writes content, builds web pages, and answers questions directly, often bypassing websites entirely.
People often wonder what this means for Drupal, so at DrupalCon Vienna, I tackled this head-on. My message was simple: AI is the storm, but it's also the way through it. Instead of fighting AI, we're leaning into it.
My keynote focused on how Drupal is evolving across four product areas. We're making it easier to get started with Site Templates, enabling visual site building through Drupal Canvas, accelerating development with AI assistance, and exploring complex workflows with new orchestration tools.
