Six days is how long it took for nearly 300 activists from across Europe to mobilise, organise routes through four countries, and set out toward the Turkish-Syrian border in a desperate act of solidarity with the besieged Kurdish-majority regions of North and East Syria, known as Rojava. The ‘People’s Caravan’ — a convoy that aims […]

Benjamin Guin, Mahmoud Fatouh and Haluk Unal Regulation has been asserted to be a brake on innovation. Prudential rules impose capital, liquidity and disclosure requirements, as well as stress tests, to strengthen resilience and manage risks – though some view them as potentially limiting financial innovation. Yet recent evidence from the UK mortgage market suggests … Continue reading Can regulation drive innovation in finance? Lessons from green mortgage products

In the annals of ruses used to provoke fear in the voting public about government deficits, central bank currency issuance, and fiscal activism, the experience of Germany in the 1920s was a long-standing favourite, that could be wheeled out on demand and have immediate effect.

For the past months, the AI Initiative Leadership Team has been working with our contributing partners to define what the Drupal AI initiative should focus on in 2026. That plan is now ready, and I want to share it with the community.
This roadmap builds directly on the strategy we outlined in Accelerating AI Innovation in Drupal. That post described the direction. This plan turns it into concrete priorities and execution for 2026.
The full plan is available as a PDF, but let me explain the thinking behind it.
Scaling the Drupal AI Initiative
The Drupal AI Initiative officially launched in June 2025 with the release of the Drupal AI Strategy 1.0 and a shared commitment to advancing AI capabilities in an open, responsible way. What began as a coordinated effort among a small group of committed organizations has grown into a substantial, sponsor-funded collaboration across the Drupal ecosystem.
Sources said the closure was connected to new counter-drone laser technology and miscommunication or misunderstanding by the FAA.

As the associate vice provost for the Office of Asynchronous Online Courses for Student-Centered High-Impact Learning (OAOCSCHIL, an office we created in the last few years after realizing how lucrative these things are), I want to address a growing concern on campus: the rumor that asynchronous online classes are “basically a scam.”
I understand the confusion. Outsiders are quick to pass judgment on these courses stocked with hastily recorded video lectures from 2020, auto-graded multiple-choice quizzes, and reflection message boards that are now 87 percent bots talking to other bots. Because there are no scheduled meetings with professors or classmates, and grading consists of counting whether students clicked the correct buttons, the fact that we charge tuition for the privilege of participating in these experiences could be mistaken for a scam: one in which no learning and very little effort are exchanged for grades and credits.
But, I assure you, this is not a scam. This is innovation.

Reportedly, Will Sharpe is in line to be the next Doctor on Doctor Who. True or not, he's already an exceptional actor, writer, and director.
I stand second to few in my admiration for how well China has done. But the super boosters are super tiresome. If China had been a small nation, the best they would have done is parallel Japan: do very well, then the US breaks your legs. Reminds me of Americans in 1950 or 95. They […]

Now this Seth… did leave children behind him who imitated his virtues…. They also were the inventors of that peculiar sort of wisdom which is concerned with the heavenly bodies, and their order. And that their inventions might not be lost before they were sufficiently known, upon Adam’s prediction that the world was to be […]
A quart of ice cream every hour?
No.
Any processed food?
No.
What about the processed food advertised during the Super Bowl?
No.
Really? Not Pringles, or Dunkin’ Donuts, or the chips from the Lay’s commercial about the retiring farmer that made me cry?
Still no.
How about the beer for sale at the football stadium?
No.
Even the Budweiser from the ad with the eagle and horse, which looked like Pegasus, that made me cry?
That is also a no from Mike Tyson.
Anything fudgy that makes people feel fudgy?
Definitely not.
What about the single salty tear that runs down your face when you cry?
No, the sodium content is too high.
RFK Jr.’s new inverted food triangle ends the war on protein, but my doctor says to limit my cholesterol intake. Should I still consume more cheese, meat, and whole-fat milk?
Yes! MAHA!
So I can have cheese even if it’s processed?
Yes. No. Trick question.

Over the last two decades, Brazil has become something of an emblem of the global battle for digital sovereignty. It is often referred to internationally as one of the few positive examples proving that countries in the Global South can and will fight back when provided with the necessary political will. For example, in 2024, […]
Consider the example given by Martin Feldstein (1999) of a group of well-heeled economists gathered at a conference or subscribers to an economic journal. If each of us—the economists—were given $1,000, inequality (in the United States) would go up; each of us would be better off and no one would be worse off. So what […]
