April 2nd, 2025: SORRY, SORRY, IT'S FREAKING *ME* OUT TOO – Ryan | ||
Reading
It has two main strategies, and you can see them both at work, right here, right now. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 28th March 2025 The democratic recession does not begin when a far-right party takes office. It begins when a centrist party crushes hope in democracy. When Keir Starmer’s government takes a […]
You can’t do it differently until you imagine it differently. By George Monbiot, adapted from a BlueSky thread, 2nd April 2025 One of capitalism’s greatest successes is to shut down our imaginations. With the help of its favoured tools – neoliberalism and fascism – it persuades us that “there is no alternative”. Our first task […]
There isn’t often consensus on the British left. But for at least the last fifteen years there has been widespread concurrence on one thing: a highly melancholic view of contemporary music. The accompanying argument will be familiar to many readers. Here are its greatest hits: following a relatively progressive, dynamic period of pop-cultural production between […]
MPs point to the 'direct conflict' for permanent secretary of department and the huge sums given to professional rugby clubs
OU Education Services has the unfortunate birthday of April Fool’s Day, but nevertheless here we are at our one-year anniversary! 🥳 As I look back on the past year, it’s impossible not to think about how this transition has challenged and shaped us. Moving from being an embedded university department to functioning as an independent […]

The whole 90 minutes, my brain’s shrieking, “You’re having a panic attack!”
The post Who turned off the juice? appeared first on Jeffrey Zeldman Presents.
Guten tag. I’m just wondering if anybody else can relate to this feeling I’ve been having that I just can’t shake. It’s only Tuesday, but what a week, huh? Just when we thought yesterday was another regular Monday, the Reichstag burned down, and it sounds like Chancellor Hitler is going to permanently suspend more of our rights. Crazy, right? Never thought that would happen here. My real problem, though, is that it’s my job to finish tuning this glockenspiel in time for the big concert tomorrow, and I just can’t seem to focus.
It’s only been a day since the fire, but it feels much longer. They said the communists are planning a violent uprising, so we need the Reichstag Fire Decree. Apparently, it’s going to suspend the right to assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and other important-sounding stuff in our German constitution.
Should we do something? It feels like we should do something. Hopefully, I’ll feel more like I can dedicate the brain space to that just as soon as I finish my work, which is tuning this glockenspiel.
Drupal 7 EOL Has Passed, But Many Sites Remain
It has been over two months since Drupal 7 reached end-of-life (EOL) on 5 January 2025. Official support and security updates have ceased, yet thousands of organizations, businesses, and government agencies continue to rely on Drupal 7 to power critical websites.
For many, the transition to a newer platform has been delayed due to budget constraints, resource limitations, or the complexity of migrating custom-built Drupal 7 applications. With no further security updates, the urgency to find a solution is growing.
The Current Landscape for Drupal 7 Sites
The end of official Drupal 7 support means:
Republican lawmakers in the Sunshine State are advancing a suite of bills making it easier for employers to exploit society’s most vulnerable.
Leaked documents show UK intelligence operatives grooming British politicians to silence academics expressing skepticism of London’s Ukraine proxy war effort.

Climate groups say ministers are abandoning climate commitments at the behest of the aviation industry
The second administration of President Donald J. Trump has already started working its special magic across the Washington, D.C. capital region. Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have fired tens of thousands of federal workers, with more to come. Those who have lost their jobs include people who find housing and other support for veterans struggling with mental illness. They include civil servants who maintained safeguards to prevent our nuclear weapons from becoming dirty bombs. They include healthcare researchers developing treatments for cancer and other killer diseases; workers who ensured that low-income, homeless, and rural students were able to get an education; agricultural researchers who opened up international markets to American farmers; and too many others to...
