Re: "Tenet Media never existed"
Now the article is called 2024 Tenet Media Investigation , probably to bury it.

Re: A memoral for "100 Reasons NOT to go to Graduate School"......
Funny.....a web search for "reasons to avoid graduate school" either point to that blog, or to the websites of major universities showing the requirements for graduate studies/warnings about the costs, or a few "listicles" blathering about assorted issues and non-issues. The blog owner has a near-m...

Re: Hostile BLPs
Should have started this thread years ago. Today's example: This is how Lucy Guo was treated in the San Francisco Chronicle today. "The youngest female billionaire in tech history" or something. https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/lucy-guo-youngest-female-billionaire-20290410.php And ...

Re: Rochester Institute of Technology is Wikipedia IRL
Well, don't feel TOO bad. Higher education in general has been declining in quality, while prices go berserk. Places on the west coast that are similar to RIT, like Evergreen State College and CSU Humboldt, have also become paranoid prison-like compounds. You should see UC Berkeley today. It is one...

Re: Are other Wikis such as JustPedia, ConservePedia & InfoGalaxy connected to Wikimedia?
Go check out the worst wiki ever, Metapedia . Not just Holocaust denial, but an overbearing obsession with National Socialism and WWII, and related subjects. And NO "degenerate art". It's the Angry White Incel-O-Pedia. Not a "reference work" in any delusion. The primary, almost the ONLY, "Editor": ...

Re: How many of the WMF people I ran into in 2016 are left?
Cult slaves like Andrew Lih, Phoebe Ayers, and Lane Rasberry will probably die in the cult. And that's nuff said. Shades of the "boomers"* who slaved for Lyndon LaRouche's EIR (Execuitive Intelligence Review) magazine from the mid-1970s to the 2000s. Paid very little, probably living in crap apartm...
