One theme connecting the essays is “enchantment” and its flight from societies such as our own. Modernity has given us countless things we would not want to be without, but its instrumental approach to nature and contempt for more established cultures has left us in many ways spiritually naked.

Searching for a phrase that will encapsulate his philosophy, and channelling the ideas of Oswald Spengler and Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, Kingsnorth plumps for “reactionary radicalism”. Suffice it to say that by the end of his book the noun is firmly in the adjective’s shadow.

by Tony Wikrent “A curtain of darkness is settling over our nation.” Heather Cox Richardson, Apr 11, 2026 [Letters from an American, April 10, 2026] It feels like something shifted in the United States this week after President Donald J. Trump threatened on Tuesday that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought […]
AI-powered election meddling, addiction-fueled gambling profits, and more from The Lever this week.
The scientist’s purpose motivates the modeling exercise and guides the construction of the model. Specifically, the scientist constructs a model with an eye toward making available model narratives that enable the modeler to produce an answer to the motivating question in terms of the target. The model acts as a surrogate for the target in […]
Not precisely a surprise, given they sent Kushner, Witkoff and Vance to negotiate. Apparently Vance talked to Trump six times and Iran says that the negotiations were going OK until Netanyahu called Vance, then suddenly it seemed like the American delegation was negotiating for Israel. More to the point, the US wanted the Strait open […]
I dessa tider — när ljudrummet dränks i den kommersiella radions tyckmyckentrutade ordbajseri och fullständigt intetsägande pubertalflamsande tjafs — har man nästan gett upp. Men det finns ljus i mörkret! I programmet Text och musik med Eric Schüldt — som sänds på söndagsförmiddagarna i P2 mellan klockan 11 och 12 — kan man lyssna på seriös […]
Six Palestine Action activists face a retrial after being acquitted in February following over a year in prison. If convicted, the six Palestine Action activists and 18 others will likely be sentenced as terrorists, facing long prison terms. The jury has not been notified about the ‘terrorist’ designation, and the British media cannot report this information under a court order. Activists will also be prohibited from telling jurors how their efforts sought to impede the Gaza genocide. The prosecution followed […] The post UK seeks to jail Palestine Action for ‘terrorism’ amid UK media blackout first appeared on The Grayzone. The post UK seeks to jail Palestine Action for ‘terrorism’ amid UK media blackout appeared first on The Grayzone. . It would indeed have been far better if the Trump loyalist Mark Rutte — instead of devoutly praising someone who persistently undermines the alliance — had told his genocidal maniac, ‘daddy,’ one or two home truths …

AI coding tools have evolved fast — from inline suggestions to full-blown agents that can scaffold modules, write tests, and refactor code across files. But what does that actually mean for your day-to-day work, and where should a seasoned developer start? Our next session on Tuesday, April 14th at 11:30am Pacific (what is that in my timezone?) is led by Scott Falconer of the Drupal AI Initiative, breaks down the current landscape of AI-assisted coding into clear, practical tiers: inline completions (think autocomplete on steroids), chat-in-your-IDE copilot workflows, and the newer "agentic" coding loops where AI plans and executes multi-step tasks with your oversight. We'll look at what each style is good at, where it falls down, and — critically — how much control you keep at each level. Coming out of DrupalCon Chicago 2026, we're starting the #ai-learners club, where we share tips and tricks and answer questions about how to use Drupal and AI together. Think of it kind of like Drupal Dojo, but for AI. For our inaugural meeting, the topic is: What's your Drupal + AI setup? Join us on Wednesday, April 8 at 9:30am Pacific (What is that in my timezone?) for a live "show and tell" of what folks who attend are using for things like: models, modules, skills, tools, agents, IDEs, workflows... whatever! Let's share what's working and what's not and try and help each other level up. :) Note: The session will be recorded and uploaded afterwards for those who can't make it live. But it's way more fun if you can! ;) Sold as a lifeline for the next generation, Trump Accounts risk deepening inequality while delivering limited gains to the children they’re intended to help.
How do I find my local H&R Block? Can I file my taxes online? Fine. I’ll come in person. But what happens after my taxes are filed? I’m sorry, what? Is that his name or his job? Test your knowledge of the midterms, sports betting, and other issues that really matter.
När Lunds universitets internrevision granskade 80 fakturor efter tjänsteresor var det bara sex som var helt korrekta … Internrevisionens slutsats var att kontrollen måste skärpas. Nyheten fick Andreas Walther på Fysiska institutionen att gå i taket. – Ungefär varje år tillkommer det nya regler och nya dokumentationskrav. Men det kommer inga nya resurser, säger han. […]

OK, I don’t remember anything about this cocktail. Because I mixed this one up about a year ago. Thankfully, I found my blog notebook, which I thought was lost forever. So here are my musings: Frosted glasses are so pretty! No Maraschino cherry–had a strawberry. This is okay, I’m not a huge fan of Brandy.Continue reading 2-in-1 International Recipe Card Collection: Classic (1977)
