Re: More non-Wikipedia crap from The Blog: 5505 Lindo Paseo update
Still get the impression that all this SDSU fraternity-house business (and various other things you passed to me) connect to real-estate related corruption being "quietly" practiced by SDSU management. Which easily explains why you're on shitlists and no one returns your calls. Still think you shou...

Re: Using Google Gemini AI Gems to exclude Wikipedia and Wikipedia-influenced sources entirely from information queries
One ought to ignore the sources that influence Wikipedia - at least those providing Wikipedia's political/social content, which Wikipedia launders as public consensus. The sources for en.Wikipedia range from old editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica and a Catholic encyclopedia from the late 19th ...

Re: Molly White is running a blog bitching about NFTs and crypto
Crypto is re-living all the lowlights of US financial capitalism before the Great Depression. Worse: they're inventing NEW ways to screw money out of people that were impossible before. Once again, this two-hour video is invaluable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g He mentions the "Axie ...

Re: The "San Francisco Sux" thread
Bike lanes serve no purpose. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/physically-separated-bike-lanes.html Look at a map of Amsterdam; bikes and cars are on entirely different circuits of roads that do not cross thanks to car bridges. The half-assed mess of bike lanes in America are a sloppy compromise for kee...

Re: Crap or questionable articles
Yet another extremely repetitive article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asif_Kapadia Again, if this is paid edited, he should ask for a refund. This IP address is "interesting". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/94.170.106.115 I got this from an IP checker: Hostname: 94-170-106-11...

Re: Scientology Thread
Fishman's case is discussed on Wikipedia Yet another article written by David Gerard, Smee/Cirt, Antaeus, and some very dodgy sockpuppet accounts. Place your bets on who this is. It's not Gerard's friend Tony Sidaway? (I just realized I had posted/talked about Lonesome Squirrel back in 2018, becaus...

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.
This is up there with the 1980s notorious person "Robt. T. Calhoun" who was mentioned in Ivan Stang's High Weirdness by Mail and who has fallen off the map entirely. Stang claimed Calhoun was "obnoxious" and had "associates" and that they fled the country some time before the book hit the printers ...

Re: Molly White is running a blog bitching about NFTs and crypto
If she's such a "great crypto skeptic", why has she failed to notice the rise of $GOAT , and the insane babbling AI chatbot that made millions off it? She's way behind the curve when WIRED magazine scoops her silly blog. https://www.wired.com/story/truth-terminal-goatse-crypto-millionaire/ https://...

Re: Scientology Thread
I finally found it; Lonesome Squirrel , the book written by Steven Fishman, ex-Scientologist: https://www.apologeticsindex.org/Lonesome%20Squirrel.pdf Fishman's case is discussed on Wikipedia , and his 600+ page book is a recounting of why he sued Scientology in the early 1990s. He was a quasi-true ...
