Israel’s main justification for its deadly blockade on Gaza was built on a lie. The New York Times repeated it for months.

Yesterday, Keir Starmer announced that ‘unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza’, the British government will recognise the state of Palestine by September this year. While Starmer will claim that this half-commitment represents major action taken to address the horrors being faced by Palestinians in Gaza, in reality […]
I used AI to make a video that sucks. It is bad. It is boring. But I made it in under an hour. And now it is my entire personality.
To some, my AI-made video that sucks is only that: a video that sucks. A two-minute-long, barely coherent amalgam of regurgitated stock photo tropes used to promote my private business coaching sessions, populated with the kind of really hot women you can only find when you prompt a planet-frying neural computer with the words “really hot women.” The lip-sync is off. The voices are wooden. The breasts are turgid and spine-deforming.
But to me, my video that sucks is a revelation. It is my burning bush. My bodhi tree. It has delivered unto me two pieces of sacred knowledge:
First, videos that suck are the future. If I could make a video that sucks this much in one hour, imagine how hard I could make something suck in two hours, or even three. Through simple extrapolation, it becomes apparent that the amount of suck is bounded only by how many hours I can devote to it when I am not promoting my private business coaching sessions.

An extraordinary opportunity exists to support Drupal CMS, boost your organisation's credits, and bring one of the leading minds behind Drupal CMS directly into your organization.
We're seeking sponsors for Cristina Chumillas, the UX and Product Design Lead for Drupal CMS, who has been defining and driving the product direction since the Starshot initiative started in May 2024.
We were lucky to have Cristina engaged in this role full-time for seven months, thanks to Lullabot. Now we're looking to extend this to ensure we can deliver on the strategy for Drupal CMS 2.0 and beyond.
Why Core Contributors Are Business Game-Changers
The real value of this sponsorship goes beyond supporting Drupal—it's about what core contributors can do for your business.
"Working with a core contributor is like having a superhero on your team,” explains Pam Baronne, CTO at Technocrat and Drupal CMS Product Owner.
Tech regulation raises some of the thorniest questions of our time — about free speech versus hate speech, copyright versus fair use, truth versus manipulation. Yet these debates are increasingly irrelevant unless states can first establish digital sovereignty. Without the will to enforce laws on multinational corporations, “tech regulation” is a dead letter. Both the […]
My production company, Knuckle Sandwich LLC, is officially suspending active search operations for the most gangster enchilada in the Albuquerque and larger Bernalillo County area.
Initially, our search was a small film crew conducting a half-day television segment. It was meant to be lighthearted and normal, with a funkalicious twist. Around the four-hour mark, we were off the chain and descending into a financial and existential disaster. Albuquerque Police Department, in coordination with the New Mexico Department of Public Safety and the New Mexico National Guard, conducted a thorough and extensive search of Bernalillo County drive-ins, dives, holes, spots, hideouts, and stops. Our civilian volunteer search party performed two days’ worth of city searches. Upon their refusal to continue, Knuckle Sandwich LLC held what was not originally called a draft, but upon further reflection, was a draft. In conjunction with the Albuquerque mayor’s office, a reverse curfew was put in place: No one was to return home until the most gangster enchilada was found.
Time is what prevents everything from happening at once. To simply assume that economic processes are ergodic and concentrate on ensemble averages — and hence in any relevant sense timeless — is not a sensible way for dealing with the kind of genuine uncertainty that permeates real-world economies. Ergodicity and the crucial distinction between time averages […]

The second webinar in the Bringing Drupal AI Into Your DNA series focused on rolling up your sleeves and getting Drupal’s AI module working on real sites. Hosted by Jamie Abrahams, co-founder of FreelyGive, and Marcus Johansson, lead developer on the Drupal AI initiative, this session balanced developer-focused walkthroughs with honest takes on what’s working and what still needs your help.
This session is part of a free, public training series backed by the European Commission in partnership with the Drupal community. The goal: to equip builders, developers, and digital agencies with ethical, open-source tools and knowledge to bring AI into Drupal sites responsibly.
