Agnes Callard is among the world’s most famous living philosophers, and certainly the one most likely to trend on your social media feed for a hot take or ill-advised poll (most recently, “Would you prefer to live the life of a slave owner, or the life of a slave?”) The University of Chicago professor is known for her public contrarian stances, like making a case against travel or for divorcing your husband but having him still live with you as you date your grad student.

Exclusive ‘exit data’ obtained by Byline Times suggests that the force has a long way to go in its claimed attempts to 'address valid concerns' about life as a non-white or female employee on the force
CHARLIE BROWN: Hey, Lucy. What’re you doing?
LUCY: I’m going to kill my mother, Charlie Brown.
CHARLIE BROWN: Why would you do something like that?
LUCY: Because the land stinks, Charlie Brown. Nothing but sin grows down here—that’s why folks are so religious. And I figure it doesn’t matter the sort of sin I commit, I’ll be punished in hell for it anyways, the way most preachers talk. Might as well go big.
CHARLIE BROWN: Good grief.
The latest legal claims allege that law-breaking at the Murdoch tabloids has been even more widespread and systematic than previously acknowledged
Drupal 11 development has reached a point where the system requirements are being raised in the development branch. To prepare core developers for this and to inform the community at large, we are announcing the following requirements for Drupal 11.
Webserver
We announced in mid-February that there is an RFC to remove support for Windows in production. Other webserver requirements are unchanged.
PHP
Drupal 11 will require PHP 8.3 and older versions of PHP are not supported. Note that as of Drupal 9.4, a policy was adopted to automatically drop support for PHP versions no longer supported by the PHP maintainers, so future minor versions of Drupal 11 will increase the requirement further.
However much the British government plays fast and loose with our future by treating climate change as a political football, there is a reality it can’t deny: climate action is necessary. That’s why, against all its better instincts, it announced last month that Britain would exit the most climate-wrecking treaty of all — the Energy […]

A review of 2023 financial results shows that U.S. banks and their peers in Eighth District states generally started this year in sound financial condition.
As the Pitchburgh projects are reaching their final milestones and they get completed, I wanted to do something new for this update, something different and, hopefully, something exciting and fun as well.
For this update I asked a few of them to provide a demo or video, so the project leads could explain in their own words, what their projects are about and how they look. I thought that it would be specially interesting for the projects that are more technical (which in turn, are difficult to understand for the less technical people) but really, nice for the rest of them as well, so after those many months just reading updates about them, we could actually see them giving some updates “in the flesh”. If applicable, we will also review next steps for those projects, as some of them (a few actually) will continue beyond Pitchburgh funding.

I’ve been describing this world of ours, such as it is, for almost 23 years at TomDispatch. I’ve written my way through three-and-a-half presidencies — god save us, it could be four in November! I’ve viewed from a grave (and I mean that word!) distance America’s endlessly disastrous wars of this century. I’ve watched the latest military budget hit almost $900 billion, undoubtedly on its way toward a cool trillion in the years to come, while years ago the whole “national security” budget (though “insecurity” would be a better word) soared to well over the trillion-dollar mark. I’ve lived my whole life in an imperial power. Once, in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it...
