~by Sean Paul Kelley From time immemorial, even before humanity began writing, the Himalayas were never recorded as breached by a monsoon. During my trip across Central Asia in 2003 I traveled from Golmud, China to Lhasa, the provincial capital of Tibet–the moment we entered the Kunlunshan we were never lower than 10,000 feet (3,048 […]

Chicago isn't just hosting DrupalCon 2026—it's providing the stage where the Drupal community writes its next chapter. And that story starts with you.
Built by the Community, For the Community
The Call for Speakers is now open through September 26, and we're looking for the insights, innovations, and ideas that will define where Drupal heads next. Whether you've been quietly solving complex problems, pioneering new approaches, or helping teams achieve what they thought was impossible—Chicago wants to hear from you.
This isn't about perfect presentations or polished case studies. It's about real solutions, honest challenges, and the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from being in the trenches, building the web that billions of people rely on every day.
So, Trump took a 10% stake in Intel, in exchange for releasing almost 9 billion dollars of subsidies without requiring Intel to meet various milestones. Is this bad? Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time the US government gave loans to both Solyndra and Tesla. Without those loans, neither company would have […]

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over, it’s gonna be like BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air, and my house is full of mutant fucking squash.
While announcing a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visa workers, the Trump administration outlined the path to lucrative exceptions for its allies.
Keir Starmer's Government's refusal to explicitly condemn the Reform leader's plans to tear thousands of families and communities apart is only clearing his path to Downing Street, argues Adam Bienkov

David Ernest Duke, devoted father, community leader, and passionate advocate for his beliefs, passed away peacefully of natural causes on February 17, 2033, at the age of 82.
Mr. Duke earned his PhD in history, with his dissertation focusing on Middle Eastern studies. His academic background informed his extensive writings on the management and ownership of academia, media, and financial systems. He also authored a self-help book for women, demonstrating his diverse intellectual interests.
Over the years, some of us have tried to teach our economics doctoral students a bit about the importance of questioning the common ergodicity assumption. This assumption, often left unstated, underpins most mainstream economic models concerning preferences and expected utility. One of the problems has been the lack of an accessible textbook on ergodicity economics. […]

The last two weeks have had a huge focus on getting the providers into the new 1.2.0 structure, beta blockers done and manipulating the AI Agents system so it handles specific cases that we see happen when we are working on the Canvas AI module.
Progress Service for Agents
When setting up a user interface for agents, complex agents can take several minutes to load. If users are shown only a loading spinner during this time, many will assume the system has failed and abandon the page.
Another challenge arises during development, when we need to debug the agent’s behaviour. A useful debug tool should be able to display the agent’s progress, which tools it has used, the contexts it has added, and other relevant details.
Come with me on my daily walk with my baby around Grangetown, Cardiff. At the bottom of Clare Road, heading south from Riverside, we pass a former night shelter (abandoned for five years now) obscured by mountains of rubbish dumped into its rotting shell. Further up the road, I recently passed a house in which […]
Last week, the Education and Employment Legislation Committee of the Australian Senate (our upper house) released its interim report – Quality of governance at Australian higher education providers. It wasn’t pretty reading. Those who work inside the higher education system could have written this report some years ago – given the problems that are finally…
