MIRANDA PRIESTLY: You go to your floor beside your bed, and select that Nirvana shirt because you’re trying to tell the world that you are a proud Gen-Xer so moved in middle school by Kurt Cobain’s deadpan honesty and self-loathing that Nirvana became your favorite band, and now that you’re almost fifty, the nostalgia is unbearable… but what you don’t know is that Target licensed the “anti-corporate” band’s logo from massive global licensing hubs Live Nation Merchandise and Universal Music Group, off of which the band’s estate earns a significant portion of its revenue today.
You’re also blithely unaware of the massive legal battle over the iconic smiley face logo that Nirvana LLC claimed Cobain drew in 1991, and then I think it was Marc Jacobs who got sued by your favorite nonconformist punk alternative band for merely using a similar smiley face in one of his collections, sparking a lengthy legal war that only ended when former Geffen Records art director was able to prove he actually designed it. I think you need some pants now.

The increasing use of natural and quasi-natural experiments in economics over the past couple of decades has led some economists to proclaim triumphantly that this development marks a major step along a recent path towards empiricism. According to this view, economics is no longer merely a deductive philosophy; rather, it is increasingly becoming an inductive […]

If you’ve spent any time around Drupal lately, you’ve probably noticed that AI is everywhere — in the keynotes, in the hallway conversations, in the issue queues. You may also have noticed that everyone else seems to know what they're doing, while you're still trying to figure out where to start.
You are not. Not even close.
Those questions — what is actually going on, and where do I even start? — are exactly what the Drupal AI Learners Club was built for.
Where it started
Angie Byron (webchick) has been part of the Drupal community since 2005: core committer, one of the driving forces behind Drupal 8, and one of those people everyone seems to know.
