. På besök i vår huvudstad kunde jag som vanligt numera inte låta bli att gå förbi Stefan Nilssons gravplats på Katarina kyrkogård. Stefans korta sorgsna toner — som jag ofta spelar när jag sitter och skriver eller läser — har under flera år blivit en del av min vardag. Stefan skrev den sorts musik […]

In the 2020s, a cursory search about the latest hot new band which has seemingly arrived from nowhere usually uncovers a private school education or the Wikipedia entry of some parent.

On 25 and 26 June 1955, the Congress of the People was held in Kliptown, South Africa. Proposed two years previously by Z. K.

You’re traveling through another neighborhood, a neighborhood built from a maze of zoning-board restrictions. A journey into a redlined land whose boundaries are the imagination of cranky homeowners and bored busybodies. That’s the signpost up ahead. Your next stop: the Twilight Zoning Board.
Episode 1:
“The Man in the Bottle”
A genie grants four wishes to a pawnbroker and his wife. They use the wishes to be approved for a commercial zoning variance, a land-use study, a water and sewage application, and a lawyer to help with the thirteen additional permits they need to open a second location.
Episode 2:
“King Nine Will Not Return”
The sole survivor of a World War II bomber crash cannot find any trace of his crew, but he does see jet planes flying overhead, because the city allows apartment buildings to be built only near the noisy airport, away from single-family homes.
Oil and gas industry handouts in the big, beautiful bill will cost consumers an additional $170 billion in household energy costs.
In the coming weeks, we are going to see some big changes in how (and where) credits are given when working on issues. The new system can do everything that the current system can, but it will enable us to progress further in the GitLab issue migration.
User and organisation profiles won’t change, and they will still have the same credit listings, only reading them from the new system. Likewise, marketplace ranking won’t change either.
Opening the door for GitLab issues
The next significant milestone for us (Drupal Association and the Drupal community) is to migrate Drupal.org issues to GitLab issues, as this will provide everyone with the advantages of using a proven and dedicated system for managing project issues. This is part of the GitLab acceleration initiative that we started years ago.
On 26th July 2025, delegates from over 25 countries convened in London for the inaugural conference of the Global Alliance for Palestine (GAFP).

My husband and I gaze at each other while we brush our teeth, savoring these final moments together before we go our separate ways.
I kiss him goodnight and do a series of somersaults to the other side of the bed. I’m wearing a red slip to make sure this is how he pictures me during our time apart. He hates to see me go, but he loves the sight of my barely covered derriere tumbling away.
Once I reach my side of the mattress, I change into the plaid flannel onesie with closed feet and a butt flap that my husband thinks I donated to Goodwill last spring. Then I practice capoeira to release the last bits of energy from the day before hitting the hay. Without his contacts in, my husband mistakes me for an L.L. Bean fleece blanket fluttering gracefully in the breeze from the AC vent.
Meanwhile, my life partner tosses, turns, and loudly attempts to learn Mandarin on Duolingo. None of these activities requires me to relocate to the couch, which is good, because we no longer have a couch. There’s no room for any furniture in our apartment except the bed.
