Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR

Well he is. Apparently he was that but then decided that he would get more attention in politics despite knowing nothing about politics.

Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR

Now most if not whole of the liberal-progressive /r/Destiny subreddit has turned against Wikipedia because of pro-Hamas biases in latter. It seems like the tide is starting to turn after so many false starts, which would've been unimaginable in 2022. https://www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/1c8dxi...

Re: Molly White is running a blog bitching about NFTs and crypto

Funny WPO thread about a podcast featuring Molly claiming that "Wikipedia is all there is left of the internet" or something..... https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13477 The transcript is a formless horror, so I edited out 146 instances of 'you know' - broke it up into readable ch...
