Re: A memoral for "100 Reasons NOT to go to Graduate School"......

The full list of 100 reasons will be posted in time Well, still no updates since 2018. Someone was obviously reading it. Some comments were posted earlier this year. I could just imagine the rage directed the blog owner over the years from academic people. Now I wonder if someone ran a "revenge pro...

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: Why Musk had Ken Klippenstein banned from Twitter/X

It was a shitshow--and Stonetoss had dropped out of the "news cycle". No mentions of him since the X-plosion of March '24. Now everyone knows his real name, and Musk looks like an idiot. As usual. And as usual....Klippenstein has also dropped out of the washing machine. The last post of his that was...

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

If you type "David Geier" into WP's searchbox, you don't get an article on David Geier, you get the article about his late father Mark Geier. Both notorious anti-vax crusaders and promoters of questionable medical practices, both sanctioned by the state of Maryland for practicing medicine without a ...

Re: He gone

Let's not forget the AN discussion. A variety of well-known shitbirds showed up to twist and shout, usually in Bbb's favor. They all know damn well what a rotten bastard he's been for 13 years. Yet he still obtains "special treatment" as a "special person". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title...

Re: Experiences with RationalWiki and MetaPedia?

You make them sound so enthusiastic, but most of them seemed utterly listless and/or bored when I visited. I started asking questions and making statements and they did the usual song and dance but I got the impression they weren't really into it - not that they should be, but again I have to wonde...

Should be called USS David Shankbone.
Now THAT would be FUNNY.

It's a bit of a backhanded insult to name a lowly oiler ship after someone. It makes me wonder if some homophobic navy official had that idea--knowing that the gay folks would have no idea it was an insult.
