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.

Yeah, I want to make it real for people - some of us use ML to help your pets live longer and it works really, REALLY, fucking well. All without giving Sam Altman a dime - just good ol fashioned CNNs and Computer Vision

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.

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."

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! 💧🐣

ImageX outlines how Drupal teams can manage colour across theme CSS, colour fields, Layout Builder Styles, CKEditor palettes, and Single-Directory Components. Editor flexibility still needs governed, accessible design-system choices. https://bit.ly/4aLIKce #Drupal #DesignSystems #LayoutBuilder

ImageX Explains Drupal Colour Management Across Themes, Fields, and Components

Colour control in Drupal rarely sits in one place. ImageX’s overview is strongest when read as a workflow map across themes, fields, components, and editor tools.

Never put an image or file field directly on a content type. Use a media field instead. A media field lets you reuse the same asset across your site, with a central library to browse everything. An image field can't be reused anywhere. #drupal #media

I miss when technology was exciting. Google was cool, search worked, information felt wildly, wonderfully accessible. Amazon was a wonderland of book discovery. The Kindle is a marvel! And now it's all the rancid sadism of dull men.

A CMO told me connecting a new DAM to her websites was quoted at ~$100K and three months. The reason? Three CMS platforms meant three integrations. That's the hidden cost of CMS fragmentation, and why more orgs are standardizing on Drupal: dri.es/the-cost-of-...

The cost of running multiple CMS platforms

Running multiple CMS platforms duplicates integrations, security, governance, and expertise. Standardizing on Drupal with different operating models reduces that cost while preserving flexibility.

Capitalism has always served rich people first, and foremost. But what we are experiencing now is something much worse. A transition to techno feudalism where they no longer pretend to value production, competition, or public prosperity. It's by far more extractive.

The air is full of smoke, the food is full of parasites, and the water is full of data center bacteria but at least we stopped all that DEI children's cancer research!
