Last night, I had a bizarre nightmare about flying a fighter jet in the year of 2047, trying to defeat a rogue outdated Drupal site that became sentient and decided to destroy the world akin to Horizon Zero Dawn. It also somehow involved a misconfigured view. 🥲 #Drupal

It sounds like my one nephew’s preschool room is trying to ban Spider-Man because the children end up getting mad and acting mean to each other over who gets to be Spider-Man.

Every move Trump has made in the last few days is purely anti-Ukrainian. It's not a negotiation and it has nothing to do with energy prices, with a peace process, or with Zelensky's attitude.

Just a way to desensitize the public so nobody will be shocked when they start executing people for calling it AI instead of SI?

George Carlin once joked about societal depravity reaching the point where America would televise executions. The Trump regime has actually gotten us here.

Gotta say, I didn't think that reclaiming televised executions from the terrorists was on Hegseth's to-do list.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Simplytest.me can now launch Drupal CMS site templates. Pick one from the homepage and get a live sandbox running it in under two minutes. mglaman.dev/blog/simplyt...

Maybe because any web comic platform should never be valued at 8 billion. VC money chasing the dragon is killing the Internet.

The vulnerability, which gives locally run apps and terminal commands complete control of the agent, has raised serious doubts about Meta's AI privacy promises.

Newsom just lost all momentum he had toward a POTUS nomination in 2028. At least they're telling us who they are.

@anildash.com warns that “cancer capitalism” is what happens when venture capitalism, meant to only be a small portion of an investment portfolio, grows uncontrollably, to the detriment of the entire economy. www.anildash.com/2026/09/02/c...

yeah, this stuff is far from my area of expertise, but i have yet to see anyone convincingly explain how the causal chain is supposed to operate here. it feels like the "AI will kill us all people" spent too much time watching Terminator 2 and the Animatrix.

Only thing I want to hear from him is "I didn't know Bannon was involved, I'm out."

simplytest.me got a real round of updates. It has been redesigned to focus on launching out-of-the-box sites first, along with a pile of bug fixes. mglaman.dev/blog/simplyt...

A Drupal 12 proposal would let editors reference unpublished nodes they already have permission to view. The per-field option stays off by default and is still under review. https://bit.ly/3UEE2I0 #Drupal #Drupal12 #EntityReference

The Drupal Association has launched the first-ever global Drupal Ecosystem Retrospective and we want to hear from you. This is your opportunity to share candid & anonymous feedback on where the Drupal ecosystem stands today. 🔗 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #Drupal #OpenSource #DrupalCommunity

I love how quickly I can fix interfaces that I make in Views. On this site, I have a remote feed with aggregator items that were simply sorted by date. Sometimes I do get a post from the future, usually from The Programmer’s Fulcrum’s Ghost blog, and that would […] [Original post on nokoto.org]

The Drupal Association is asking the community to assess what is fragile, resilient, or threatened across the Drupal ecosystem. Feedback for its first global retrospective closes September 20. https://bit.ly/4xYRF3v #Drupal #DrupalCommunity #OpenSource #DrupalCon

I believe in this so much that I've been sponsoring xjm at a base level for the past few months. I hope you'll join me. Details at xjmdrupal.org/sponsor-me And tell your friends! I hope, especially, that companies, nonprofits, and Drupal-using organizations of all types, will sponsor xjm's work.

In my work on the Security Team, I get direct visibility to the care that xjm puts into ensuring high-quality releases and accurate advisories. xjm would spend more time doing that with more sponsorship. If you want to make a high-impact investment in Drupal, sponsor xjm to keep releases moving.

It's National Suicide Prevention Month, so you've likely heard a lot about 988 and the Crisis Text Line. This is different. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... This is a guide to the numbers you can call before things get to the point of total despair: warmlines and other forms of peer support.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Open Source code and the stewardship around it have different economics. That distinction helps show what a project might charge for, what it must budget for, and how it could fund stewardship without making the code less open. dri.es/open-source-...

I never expected to see Drupal mashed up in a pinball machine, but here we are! Looks like a fascinating project. events.drupal.org/rotterdam202...

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

The ergonomics of breastfeeding a floppy newborn in the backseat of a car is kind of ass. But, I did it for the first time ever without a disaster so that feels like an achievement. Someone should give me a cookie or a sticker.

Well, if *all* the "AI" were gone tomorrow, there'd be a lot of pain, both literal and metaphoric. LLMs being gone tomorrow would make some people's lives harder, but no more so than they were a couple of years ago, and would bankrupt a bunch of shitty people. Oops.

I have one answer.

“I asked ChatGPT, I asked Grok” Yeah well I asked a Halo 3 lobby and they all said you’re a dumb bitch

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

When AI causes harm, responsibility should follow meaningful control. Model creators control training and release, product builders control permissions and deployment, and users control deliberate misuse. dri.es/responsibili...

It’s not often that you’re in a room in Labor & Delivery, both you and your fiance are running on half asleep, and when he mixes up a time with An alarm he already set, you loudly say “YOUR CACHES ARE STALE, YOU NEED TO CLEAR CACHE”, But when you do, you’re 2 Drupal developers who had a baby! 💧🐣
