Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.

I am one of 24 co-defendants collectively known as the Filton 24, and am currently being held at HMP Peterborough on remand (before trial) since November 2024. In August 2024, heavily armed police arrested me and one other person, pointing multiple large guns at us, flying a drone above our heads, while we were completely […]
The Drupal AI Initiative is responsible for leading the definition and delivery of major AI capabilities for Drupal. Whilst operating in the fast-paced AI industry, we recognise the importance of taking time to ensure plans to deliver our bold vision are robust.
With this in mind, last week, members of the Drupal AI Initiative gathered in-person and online for two days of structured activities dedicated to refining the initiative’s direction, funding model, operational framework, and marketing.
The off-site fostered improved collaboration and strategic clarity. It also served as a valuable forum to present and critically review a newly developed marketing and communications strategy, ensuring plans are in place to extend awareness of Drupal AI far beyond markets where Drupal is well-established.
I am the Overtourist. I’m here to overtour your picturesque town or world-class city. Shooting water pistols at me only hydrates and emboldens me.
I have no idea how anything works here. I will pause in the middle of crowded sidewalks, amble in rushing zones, and fail to possess the correct app, ticket, identification, or change. I will wait to decide my deli order until I’m at the front of the line so I can ask the sandwich maker to explain the difference between mortadella, soppressata, and capicola, and that’s before I start asking him about the bread options.
I am here to sample the substances you’ve recently legalized: psychedelic mushrooms, raw milk, and Indiana Pacers jerseys. I will try all of them at once and hallucinate while vomiting in my Pacers jersey at the precise intersection whose closure most disrupts your morning commute.
Where are your public toilets? I have come to make their lines so long you will never be able to pee again. This might be the way you die, like a cartoon character, the whites of your eyes filling from the bottom with yellow.

Drupal AI 1.2.0-alpha2 was released on the 13th of August and it comes with a lot of stability fixes and some new features.
Note that since this is an alpha, we will not provide upgrade paths from this alpha and more features will still be added before the beta releases.
To discover more about Drupal AI and to access full documentation visit the project page.
Stability Fixes
The release takes us closer to a production release, by fixing a lot of bugs on the added features since the 1.2.0-alpha1 release and it fixes minor bugs on the features that already exist.

What happens to a country when men lose their closest friends?
It’s time to start a movement for new Nuremberg trials. After WWII many Nazis were tried for genocide and various war crimes, and they were executed. I remember a long time ago my friend Stirling Newberry told me that western elites had only one moral rule, “Don’t be Nazis.” Anything short of being a Nazi […]
After years of trauma-induced inertia on the British left, something is stirring. Despite its initial false start — and some internal backbiting, aired unfathomably in the bourgeois media — around 650,000 people have signed up to register their interest in the new left-wing party recently announced by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. Should a majority […]
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released the latest labour force data today (August 14, 2025) – Labour Force, Australia – for July 2025, which reveals that last month’s gloom might not have been the start of a downward trend. The current data has blurred that outlook and the best we can say is that…
There is substantial evidence that the degree of competition in the Australian economy has declined over the decade or so leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has the potential to weigh on productivity, and in turn incomes, and so the welfare of the Australian people. In this paper we calibrate the general equilibrium model from Edmond, Midrigan and Xu (2023) to Australian microdata to answer the following question: If the degree of competition in the Australian economy had not declined from mid-2000s levels, how much higher would aggregate productivity and GDP be due to resources being better allocated across firms throughout the economy? The answer, according to this model, is 1–3 per cent. The model also suggests even larger economic costs once we account for other channels through which rising mark-ups affect the economy, though these are less precisely estimated.
