Re: Baked Alaska (Tim Gionet) and the goons storm Congress

I've seen this before, pathetic as expected. Why in the FUCK is Mr. Baked suddenly a "celebrity"?? His wiki article dates from 2017 and has always been a long angry pissing match.

Making him "famous" might only legitimize his deranged political ideas. If any.

The Left has completely taken over the 'pedia.
That happened a loooong time ago. And we could not possibly list all the instances of their hypocrisy. Try looking thru the history of Jimbo's talkpage--censorship of criticisms is routine there.

Re: 20th anniversary thread

Here's a link to the article at Archive.is: https://archive.is/PUbvI Thanks and I can already see one stupid factual error: In 2015 the US talk show host and comedian Stephen Colbert coined “truthiness”, one of history’s more chilling buzzwords. That was in 2005. I remember because I saw that episo...

Re: Jake Angeli: the shitshow of shitshows

Parler has been dropped by Amazon AWS (its major hosting service) and by Apple and Google stores. The website goes yo-yo constantly today and is supposed to go completely dark at midnight. https://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambrown/2021/01/10/conservative-social-media-app-parler-is-pretty-much-dead/?sh...

20th anniversary thread

Because January 15th is the "official" 20th anniversary of Wikipedia. Which, please recall, was the work of Larry Sanger and Ben Kovitz, and had damn little to do with Jimbo. Five years later, Jimbo started lying to the press about the beginnings, and had loads of support from his WP insider crew. Y...

Re: Ivan vector loses his job

Who knows what other sites he was logged into. It is routine to see office workers sitting in front of work computers with FB, Twitter, IG, games etc. running. Apparently some employers have given up and are tolerating it. If they can't do it on the desk PC they'll use their phones, and work will s...

Re: Jake Angeli: the shitshow of shitshows

Found in the Parler article, which is being controlled by Molly "GorillaWarfare" White but editwarred anyway: Extremism expert Chip Berlet said of Matze's opinions on hateful content: "I think he's full of it.... I think he knows exactly what he's creating, he's encouraging people who basically don'...

Re: Oceanflynn

check the book wiki, although it's outdated by now (because Cirt now has so many socks he's impossible to follow). He gets special protection from a long list of WP administrators.
