That website was first put up in 2011, part of a string of "fuck you buddy" websites run by Official Scientology but utterly denied by them. The "church" sees any criticism as libel, and is designed by Hubbard to get members to distrust journalists (labeling them "low on the Tone Scale"** and possi...

https://fortune.com/2025/01/13/mark-ruffalo-jimmy-wales-free-our-feeds-x-musk-facebook-meta-zuckerberg/ archive https://archive.ph/ExZju It's funny as hell to see journalists complaining about Zuckerberg the ochlocrat, not realizing that Wales himself tried to become a similar sort of internet ochlo...

Well, as you probably know, I did an analysis of edit patterns, and found that WP editing peaked in total quantitites in 2009. Despite repeated attempts to trick people with bot edits and incessant begging for money, total edit counts are unquestionably well down from the golden era of the late 2000...

Oh, they just HAD to tell us, AGAIN, that "wikipedia is not a battleground" and "Wikipedia is not a forum" and "WP:OWN" and "disruptive editing is oooohhhhh FROWNED UPON gobble gobble blah blah", all that LYING STINKING BULLSHIT we've heard a million times before. WP is all those things and more bec...

Remember this from last year? The Hybrid vehicle article has similar jabber, not to mention poor sourcing, outdated sections, and a LOT of repetition. This HAS to be the result of bot editing. Stupid bastards don't know or care that their bots are generating hash. Under "Vehicle types": In 1978 stud...

The guy is dead, and they're still attacking ...

it just keeps getting worse I dunno....there's an old joke that LA is "Chicago with palm trees", same kinds of governmental corruption/incompetence, same sort of "policing", and the same sort of racial bigotry and so forth. I'd EXPECT the "great leaders of that great city" to do batshit things. Onl...

And if Wikipedia is NOTNEWS, and they claim WP is not a "celebrity gossip tabloid", then why does the fire's article contain a very long quote by actor Steve Guttenberg? Lots of entertainment people are losing their homes in this fire--because they tend to cluster around West LA, Beverly Hills, Pac...

Most of it has little to do with Israel, antisemitism, anti-Zionism and other topics the Heritage Foundation wants to play white knight over. Scientology was a bigger topic when the Barbour- Peter Damien private Wiki was first compiled, but that said, Israel-Palastine was part of the general patter...

Twitter is where right-wing assholes hang out thanks to Musk, and some of them are involved with the forthcoming Trump omnishambles "administration", so of course journos are hanging around. Yes, I get that. Problem is when they foolishly take what they see in there as "factual". Musk is doing all ...
