As I have mentioned in the past, many people and companies have communicated to me in the past their willingness to know how they could make their contribution more impactful to Drupal and the Drupal association. The Bounty program has proved success, and we are exploring and getting new ideas to extend it. However we don't want to stop here.

That’s why we are publishing today this list of strategic initiatives, and list of issues and modules where your contribution should be more impactful.

Additionally we may want at some point to grant extra credits to some those issues. For now, if you are not sure where to contribute but you want to make sure that your contribution makes a difference, have a look at this list and take your pick.

In this column, professional speechwriter Chandler Dean provides partly satirical, partly genuine “How To” advice focused on a hyper-specific subcategory of speeches—from graduation speeches to wedding toasts to eulogies, and all the rhetorical occasions in between.

Forcefully takes on Republicans in SOTU President Joe Biden Thursday night did not slip on his Aviators and, as Dark Brandon, stare down Republicans in the House chamber. But Biden did all but in his State of the Union address, even calling out Supreme Court justices to their faces for overturning Roe. Biden needed to bring the heat to put the lie to Republican smears that he is a doddering fool. As Col. Pickering said of Prof. Henry Higgins, indeed he did. This was “Fiery Biden” (Washington Post). And “In-Your-Face Biden” (New York Times). MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell followed along in the text and counted the Biden ad libs: more than in any SOTU he’d seen. Biden was not only not doddering, but nimble enough to engage Republican hecklers (including Georgia’s clownish Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene) again and again (Washington Post): At several points, Biden went back and forth with lawmakers — something that used to be a rarity. But in each moment, Biden looked to capitalize on the interruptions, using the heckling to pivot into Democratic talking points. Biden began his address with reference to the U.S.

Times are tough for our industry, and getting tougher. But this studio, home to beloved, timeless stories for over a century, won’t fold while I’m CEO. With a few strategic innovations, we will start the next chapter stronger than ever, ready for any challenge. Except for the challenge of releasing good movies.

I have bold plans for this company, like changing the name of our streaming service, green-lighting so many spin-offs that even I can’t keep track of them, making our theme parks more expensive and difficult to navigate, and inflating share price by announcing confusing, honestly illogical mergers. Also, I recently found out about video games, and they sound very promising. I’m open to novel revenue generators and blue sky ideation—anything to avoid making a good movie.

This guy… House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday that in vitro fertilization and the handling of embryos remains an issue that “policymakers have to determine how to handle.” “We need to look at the ethics surrounding that issue, but it’s an important one,” Johnson told “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil on Thursday. “If you do believe that life begins at conception, it’s a really important question to wrestle with.” Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, made clear his support for the “sanctity of life” as well as IVF. But he then said there’s an “ethical handling” of the issue that must be considered by states.  “In some states, like in Louisiana, there’s a limit on the number of embryos that can be created because they’re sensitive to that issue,” he said. “But it’s something that every state has to wrestle with and I think Alabama has done a good job of it.” Really Mike? What “ethics” are you talking about?
