Have a large Drupal database? You can speed up local development a lot using database images and my new DDEV-mtk add-on. See github.com/weitzman/dde... and the links presented there. Thanks to @previousnext.com.au for MySQL Toolkit (MTK). #DrupalConVienna

This takes courage. Courage has always been costly. buff.ly/K5gi48o

There's a NASA presser happening now in which acting admin Duffy said "This very well could be the clearest sign of life that we’ve ever found on Mars." That doesn't mean it is a sign of life. We covered this cool rock in 2024, paper in Nature is out today: 🧪🔭 www.sciencenews.org/article/nasa...

FOX: Are you for any green energy personally? ZELDIN: Uh, well, I am for whatever President Trump is advocating for.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Excited to announce Acudo: a new ATProtocol app that brings cryptographically signed RSVPs to your events. It bridges traditional ticketing (like Ti.to) with the decentralized web, creating verifiable attendance records that actually mean something. 🎫

reasonably sure this is the first time a regional government agency has launched a new service with an elaborate broadway musical parody

I made a new add-on for DDEV github.com/weitzman/dde.... Great when your site has a very large DB. This builds upon the MySQL Toolkit by @previousnext.com.au

Really wonderful essay about how writing expands and polishes your thinking. Delegating writing to the bots is profoundly unhealthy kupajo.com/write-to-esc...

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I'll be attending the Evolve Drupal conference in Cambridge, MA on June 6. I'm looking forward to the sessions and the hallways chats. www.evolvedrupal.com

When it comes to security, we don't take shortcuts. Tag1 completed SOC 2 compliance in record time and built a Trust Center to prove it. Ready to partner with a team that takes security seriously? https://bit.ly/3ETxFsR #SecurityFirst #SOC2

"The chill is everywhere because the message is coming from the top." A summary of Orbanization in major media circles from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social. His newsletter, Status, is well read in the media industry, which he describes as "under siege." www.status.news/p/donald-tru... [paywall likely]

This post summarizes one of my core beliefs so brilliantly. Some folks think science is dull, and dries out the magic of life. On the contrary, science dazzles and puzzles and enriches my life so much. open.substack.com/pub/richardd...

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Drush has a new cache:warm command that implements the nifty cache warming API that will show up in Drupal 11.2. See github.com/drush-ops/dr...

I'm late to the party, but I want to *highly* recommend the TV show This is Us. I can't think of a more moving family-centric show. I have one more episode left and I can't bear to say goodbye to these characters. www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/this_is_us
