Okay, sweetie, just stay calm and don’t panic. I SAID DON’T PANIC. You’re making me nervous.
Now, to do this the RIGHT way, we need a portable X-ray unit. Of course, your father always forgets the portable X-ray unit. He remembers the dog’s birthday. He remembers to refill the hummingbird feeder. He remembers the name of every horse in every Western ever produced in the history of cinema. But he forgets the portable X-ray unit. I have to do everything. Anyway, it’s time to locate the detonator.
Do you have a protective suit, honey? I bet you look so precious in a protective suit. It’s not patronizing—what does that even mean? Well, I suppose if you don’t have a protective suit, you can tape a bunch of throw pillows to your head and torso. I have about two dozen on that loveseat in the front room. I sure hope it’s enough. Let’s see if I can get a look at the battery on this thing. That reminds me: the TV remote needs new batteries. I’ll let your father know by shouting.

August is traditionally a month when many in the northern hemisphere go on a much needed holiday from the heat and enjoy a well-deserved break from work.
However, this will not stop our Pitch-burgh contest winners, who were incredibly excited about starting the work and demonstrating how an open source competition like this can deliver cost-effective benefits for the Drupal project.
For the boring part, most or all of the agreements are in place (with some still being signed this second week of August), and the initial grants are starting to arrive in the awardee’s bank accounts. As previously mentioned, this is a first for the Drupal Association, and it has taken some time to figure out important things regarding contracts and how money is moved. In the end, we want to make sure none of us get in trouble with the tax collector.

The simple argument that a junior doctor working in Scotland today is not worth 28.5 percent less than a junior doctor working in 2008 has powered the British Medical Association Scottish Junior Doctor’s Committee’s (SJDC) campaign to fully restore our pay after fifteen years of inaction. Our campaign’s central motivation is to restore junior doctor […]

Alright, let’s cover this again, with a bit more explication, since the idiots are really doubling down on “oh no, decreasing population.”
Population collapse is the biggest threat to civilization.
• Japan had it's largest total drop in population since 1968.
• U.S. population flatlining as birth rate stagnates.
• China's fertility rate hits record low.

It’s not Donald Trump Ronan Farrow has a deep dive on Elon Musk: Initially, Musk showed unreserved support for the Ukrainian cause, responding encouragingly as Mykhailo Fedorov, the Ukrainian minister for digital transformation, tweeted pictures of equipment in the field. But, as the war ground on, SpaceX began to balk at the cost. “We are not in a position to further donate terminals to Ukraine, or fund the existing terminals for an indefinite period of time,” SpaceX’s director of government sales told the Pentagon in a letter, last September. (CNBC recently valued SpaceX at nearly a hundred and fifty billion dollars. Forbes estimated Musk’s personal net worth at two hundred and twenty billion dollars, making him the world’s richest man.) Musk was also growing increasingly uneasy with the fact that his technology was being used for warfare. That month, at a conference in Aspen attended by business and political figures, Musk even appeared to express support for Vladimir Putin. “He was onstage, and he said, ‘We should be negotiating.
A PR offensive to inundate the American public with pro-Ukraine war advertisements during the 2024 election is the latest initiative of neocon chickenhawk Bill Kristol. While targeted at GOP voters, the campaign appears to be another Democratic Party front. Defending Democracy Together, a neoconservative outfit led by career chickenhawk scribe Bill Kristol, has launched a new initiative called “Republicans for Ukraine” to transform the 2024 presidential election into a referendum on US funding for the NATO proxy war. Urging Republicans […]
