#drupal who is picking sessions for #Drupalcon? There are competitive solutions to Acquia’s Canvas that have been ignored for two back to back American cons. Track chairs have an obligation to show the community more than Acquia’s narrow vision. The community can innovate too.

I know when someone dies on the “other side”, it’s human nature to maybe feel certain despicable things. It’s hard wired in. But they’re people. Just like that person you love most in the world. See them as a person. Imagine you loved them. Imagine they loved you.

Charlie Kirk tried really hard to make logical, fact based arguments that didn’t rely on his faith. He was happy to have faith based debates, but that wasn’t his default mode. It didn’t matter if you agreed or not, he had fact-based arguments you could wrestle with.

At the end of the day, facts need to be how we navigate most topics. Feelings don’t trump facts. Your faith, while important, needs to be focussed in places we don’t or can’t produce data. This is one of the things I appreciated about Charlie Kirk.

Most of my friends in the OSS world know I grew up waaay more conservative than they can stomach. Most of the people I grew up with consider me far too liberal. I don’t really align with either party. We need to be collectively trying to reduce the energy in the pendulum.

So many have said so much in the last 2 days. Much of it hateful. If your ideology allows you to support or condone the assassination of a figure you disagree with, you are the problem.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

Just in case #drupal hasn’t clued in on this yet: You can’t put figma into your customer’s preferred dev pipeline. Figma wants to own the cms layer too. They’re officially competing with you. Drupal needs to be innovating the entire website delivery pipeline. Including design.

Leia would have been an actual Princess, Tarkin would have been destroying the Emperor’s home world and knowing it wouldn’t matter to him. What better of an example of Palpatine’s absolute commitment to subjugating the galaxy?

A good friend and professional #StarWars artist once mentioned to me how much better the PT would have been if Naboo had been Alderaan instead. This criticism has been rattling around in my head for nearly 20 years and… it feels more true by the day.

🎙️ "Hopelessly entangled with #Drupal"—Karoly Negyesi @chx shares his two-decade journey, from coding milestones to community challenges. A must-read for open-source enthusiasts! 🔗 https://t.co/xy9P2xxdYy #OpenSource #DrupalCommunity with @gaborhojtsy & @EclipseGc

#DrupalCMS for Wordpress developers by my colleague @jazzs3quence

Literally ridiculous. Can you imagine #Drupal leadership taunting https://t.co/Iupmfph1Ip or Pantheon from the main Drupal Twitter account?

To all #WordPress developers exploring new horizons: Give #Drupal a try! Our welcoming community and robust platform might be just what you're looking for. 🤗 #OpenSource #WebDev

If a FOSS community cannot criticize its leadership, it’s lost the plot. I’ve criticized #Drupal leadership and their decisions so many times. Sometimes people listened; more often they didn’t, but I was never bullied about my modules or kicked out of community spaces. #Wordpress

That is a lot of things!

Not every day you get Star Wars AND a live orchestra

https://t.co/hI8CQOJGUB is working on converting core to OOP hooks and feeding me requirements for the rector rule. By now manual work is only needed to fix indentation and comments and nothing else. Even __FUNCTION__ got resolved.

This is such huge news. A lot of us have wanted the ability to have OOP in our regular Drupal hooks for a long time and this makes that possible and gives us so many benefits and DX improvements. Thanks to everyone involved.

Building and selling a theme like you would in #WordPress has historically been difficult in #Drupal but with the ability anticipate what sites are using via recipes, I think we’re on the precipice of a huge shift.
