In 1936 Dale Carnegie published his seminal self-help work, “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” As a book dedicated purely to interpersonal relations I read it in my late-teens early-twenties and took a few damn good lessons away from it. But, I’m not writing today to discuss Dale Carnegie. I’m here to write the […]

Politicians, like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, like to say that kicking healthy people off Medicaid saves money. That's bullshit.

AP’s Israel-Palestine news director, Josef Federman, has spun data to minimize the Gaza death count. Leaked documents show he appeared on a panel aimed at assisting “Israel’s ability to effectively portray its narrative” during a gov’t-sponsored propaganda conference chaired by an ex-IDF official who legitimized killing journalists. The Israeli massacre of five journalists in broad daylight on August 24, 2025 at Nasser Hospital in Gaza’s Khan Younis city prompted a sternly worded statement to the Israeli government from the Associated […]

Laut einer Regierungsantwort soll Friedrich Merz über 12.500 Euro für Styling-Dienstleistungen ausgegeben haben – in einer Phase, in der viele Bürger mit steigenden Lebenshaltungskosten zu kämpfen haben. Die Ausgaben wurden aus Parteigeldern gedeckt. Die Ausgaben für Styling in dieser Höhe sind aus mehreren Gründen ein politisches und öffentliches Ärgernis und ein klassisches Beispiel für eine […]
Plus, how social media shortens your life, a reclusive billionaire’s private bridge, and the Biden legislation that quietly fueled mass foreclosures.
We tend to think of prejudice in negative terms, but there are positive prejudices as well. I was just telling a friend that I’d trust a random Sikh more than any other religion/ethnicity. Just seem to have a very high proportion of good people. Also think well of the diaspora Chinese, as a rule, perhaps […]

by Crawford Spence* There is plenty of work out there on financial intermediaries. Most of this can be found in finance or economics journals and displays little evidence of its authors having spent any time with financial intermediaries at all. Rather, studies looking at asset managers or investment bankers tend to be carried out at […]
I do these occasional posts about science papers. Some are just for fun. But sometimes — honest! — there’s an underlying connection to the greater Crooked Timber project. This post is one of that sort, because it’s about the limits of understanding. Unsurprisingly, it involves biology. So we all learned back in high school that […]

The radical urbanist media loves to throw around baseless accusations like “rampage.” “Godzilla rampages,” “cities destroyed in rampage,” and “world in the grip of rampagism.” The word has lost all meaning by this point. And it’s not even fair because the lawful, beautiful actions that I undertook around the globe against the likes of Tokyo or New York were anything but a rampage. It was a precise enforcement of the law meant to keep everyone safe.
I have nothing against cities. There are plenty of good, honest cities out there just trying to get on with their lives. I’ve known some really great cities in my time. But when a city shows up without papers, without proper authorization, just popping up out of the blue instead of doing things legally, the right way, I have no choice but to act swiftly and decisively. These are really bad ciudades we’re dealing with here. You see an innocent skyline; I see a potential security threat. Those towers can be signaling enemy kaiju. Those electric lights may be sending signals into space meant for alien invaders. You don’t know. I’m not willing to take that risk.
Last week’s webinar brought together three voices helping to shape the Drupal AI Initiative: Paul Johnson, Christoph Breidert, and Kristen Pol. Together, they painted a picture of where Drupal is headed with AI, and what the community is already learning through direct experimentation.
Watch the full webinar recording on The Drupal Association YouTube Channel.
Paul opened with key takeaways from the global AI survey. 79.2% of respondents reported using AI in their everyday work, and over 61% of organisations were already running internal experiments. One message was clear: AI isn’t theoretical anymore. People are trying, testing, and shipping.
The majority of respondents, 79.2%, reported that they were using AI in their everyday work.
