Re: Crap or questionable articles

They really have no idea how stupid this looks.

Save the squibs about the fire for lower in the article, and STOP TRYING TO BE A NEWSPAPER. Because it is NOT A NEWSPAPER.

Re: Russia gets real

Russia’s major ISPs have now installed DPI equipment, according to Alena Epifanova, a researcher at the German Council on Foreign Relations. But no one knows if or when Russia will be able to cut off its Internet from the global web. “The information about its implementation process and its scope i...

Re: SHB2000 has nothing better to do

And as @NIDA has said, Ground One has now nominated SHB as an admin (according to NIDA, he's an Antandrus sock) This subject was stupid to me, until someone nominated SHB2000 for adminship. That STINKS. SHB is just another shrieky little patroller asswipe and has written almost no content. It is qu...

Re: Russia gets real

There has been almost NO mention of this in media outside Russia. Below is all I could find. And it sure as hell looks like the Putin government wants to silence political dissent on Facebook, Twitter and other social media. "Unreasonable censorship" my ass. http://rapsinews.com/legislation_news/202...

Re: Trolls: 1 Jimmy Wales: 0

ha ha---you do realize that his talkpage has attracted angry and crazy people for 10+ years? My suspicion: suckers like Smallbones, Masem, and others, who watch that talkpage like idiot hawks, are getting SICK of performing unpaid labor that benefits only Jimbo. They have fought like rabid dogs over...

Re: A perfect example of why Wikipedia editors want to keep the Daily Mail out of Wikipedia

I agree, the Scottish wikipedia fiasco is going to probably be a permenant problem unless they wipe his edits and start over. That will never happen. AmaryllisGardener was unquestionably operating socks, and some other "editorthings" on sco.wp were also clearly incompetent. https://meta.wikimedia.o...

Re: Katherine Maher's dark side

Maher is also described on this page, which will give you an idea of the company she keeps: https://www.ned.org/events/governments-gatekeepers-and-journalists/ Still don't understand why someone with this background wound end up running the WMF, which is anything but "pro-democracy" and "CIA friend...

Re: Inside Wikipedia's endless war over the coronavirus lab leak theory

that reminds me....to change the subject slightly, I have the perfect example of Wikipedia leftists using article space to shit on someone they really hated, it's a classic:
