Elon Musk calling out Wales and Wikipedia for bias: Twitter Files Investigation AfD

Most of Earth: “The MSM is biased.” Wikipedia: “Cite MSM source to confirm this claim.” 🤣🤣 Wikipedia has a non-trivial left-wing bias. @jimmy_wales, what are your thoughts? https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1600200000763756544?s=61&t=bXGWS3Dhb-kRsOH5TLoLBw In regards the [[Twitter Files Investiga...

The only “impracticality” maybe Peak Lithium for the batteries. There is no substitute for oil, life as we’re living it is unsustainable.

Re: Twitter's decline

Re: Section 230 is in trouble -- at last !

Looks like no Free Speech on Twitter: European Union threatens Elon Musk with the Digital Services Act, which prohibits “hate speech and misinformation.” Elon Musk now owns Twitter but the EU is watching carefully lest the self-styled "free speech absolutist" turn the social media site into a platfo...

Another one bites the dust: Display Name 99

He brought the Andrew Jackson article to featured status and eventually got blocked from editing it! SEMI-RETIRED Wikipedia has become a toxic mess. Wikipedia is supposed to be an accessible source of good information available to anyone, and to maintain impartiality by presenting as fact only thing...

Wales the supercilious hypocrite and bigot regarding free speech, unpopular opinions, feudalism, censorship etc. Raquel nailed him on his talk page and got blocked for it: Comment: First they came for the Nazis...

Kiwi Farms, a website that made fun of people, harassed, swatted, hacked their Ubereats password and ordered food to their house and doxed them — three allegedly committed suicide over it — got essentially blacklisted and is offline because trolls on the website threatened someone who was giving hor...

what do you want me to deliver then? I'm the LAST person who would argue with you about the miserable, petty truth of humanity. Exploiting resources until exhausted, organized religion, political madness, corruption, greed, stupidity. We nailed every item on the list already. Also I think that "Rar...

Within that context though Future Perfect and Boing did the right thing.* Good thing OberRanks wasn't secretly dating the WMF Chair or you...
