He was a young man fleeing a war-torn country, desperate to reach his family in Sheffield. Along the way, he lost his phone and could not contact them. Days later, they received the devastating news: he had died while trying to escape armed men. Weak, hungry and exhausted, he collapsed at the water’s edge in […]

Dear colleagues,
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I’m officially done saying sorry. As a woman, I feel the flippant use and misuse of this word gives away my power, if that makes any sense. If you have any free time this week or next, or even in the next couple of weeks, feel free to read the rest of this email to understand further. If not, no worries at all—I’m sure you’re extremely busy this time of year.
My near-addiction to apologizing has been around as long as I can remember. Trigger warning: My dad wasn’t very emotionally present during my childhood, if it’s okay for me to bring that up. Not to make this whole thing about me, but seeking his approval has caused a lot of people-pleasing, codependent tendencies to manifest in the way I communicate. I’ve obviously gotten over most of them, but this “sorry” habit will be the last one to go.
I feel like I just talked forever. I would love to hear about your stuff, too, if you ever want to chat about anything. I’m here for you whenever you need me, just let me know.
Shortly after I moved to Manchester in 2007, I invited my friend Aaron — a Californian — to stay at my place for a couple of days. Within a few hours of his arrival, Aaron had been offered several narcotics, downed a pint or four in Dry Bar, and stumbled out of a city centre […]

The Drupal Association is excited to announce that our t-shirt design contest will be returning for DrupalCon Chicago!
We want to see the Drupal community's design ideas for the official t-shirt, available for all attendees to wear and enjoy. Do you have a fantastic idea in mind? Let’s see your creativity!
The winner will get THEIR design on the front of the official t-shirt for DrupalCon Chicago!
What the judges are looking for
Judges are looking for a combination of creativity, impact, and relevance to the Drupal community. A design that tells a story and aligns with the values and aspirations of DrupalCon attendees is likely to capture attention.
While exploring bold ideas, consider how your design will resonate with a diverse audience. Think of classic elements that make a T-shirt memorable while pushing creative boundaries. Avoid overcomplicating things; sometimes less is more, especially if every element adds value to the message.
Although economics produces knowledge, it is only partial — knowledge that is useful in specific contexts but not universally generalisable. Mainstream economics certainly aspires to be an exact science, but if it is to be considered as such, it only applies to the ‘small worlds’ that economists know how to model. As we all know, […]

History, as the saying goes, doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. As we approach the Labour Government’s decisive Budget, and an abstract debate rages around the future of welfare spending in the UK, a brilliant piece of historical research published this summer sheds new light on the catastrophic impacts of previous cuts to support […]

Normally I ignore the style of government rhetoric and concentrate on the substance. But the Trump administration is so pathetically juvenile it beggars belief: Womp womp, cry all you want. These criminal illegal aliens aren’t getting released. Like clockwork, violent rioters have arrived at the Broadview ICE facility to demand the release of some of […]

1. There’s a turkey neck situation. 2. Is it four thousand degrees in the kitchen, or is it just you? 3. You love your family, but you also wish they’d leave you alone so you can watch Gilmore Girls and eat mashed potatoes. 4. You’re so bloated that you feel like a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. 5. Something that should be moist is instead very, very dry. 6. You’ve been obsessively trying to prepare for it, but who knows what will actually happen. 7. The placemats your kid made in kindergarten are making you tear up. 8. You need to go to an Orangetheory class for your own sanity. 9. There are tender breasts and big, meaty thighs. 10. You fall asleep on the couch at 4 p.m., then you’re wide awake at 3 a.m. 11. You swear you didn’t eat that much, but you look like you’re about five months pregnant, which you definitely are not. Or wait. Could you be? 12. There’s a bloodied history. 13. You’re debating whether to go the all-natural, hormone-free route or to just go for the hormones. 14. You’re not sure why you just walked into the kitchen. Despite record revenue, the Big Tech juggernaut is cash poor and chip rich.
