I've long given up on Wikipedia. Every single time I've tried to contribute anything, or correct a spelling or grammatical error, my edits have been backed-out and reverted by what I assume was a staff-member or moderator. The whole website is one giant clique and fiefdom and unless you're part of the *clique*, good luck contributing. Honestly I'd wish someone would fork the damn thing because Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation, are toxic as fuck. ---
This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces.
"In a time of misinformation, in a time of suppression, having this place where people can come and bring knowledge and share knowledge, that is a statement."
How the world’s largest encyclopedia became the factual foundation of the web, but now it’s under attack from the right wing, tech billionaires, and AI.

It will be a whole new level of hypocrisy if they manage this whilst they've actively campaigned against sensible gun control measures — mass shootings by trans people represent only 0.087% of all mass shootings.
This is all another way to fearmonger about 1% of the US population.

I once spent an hour getting ready and going through my gear, then an hour and a half on a boat, then dove for nearly an hour with my (then) girlfriend and a few others, filming the entire thing. It was a spectacular dive, so much wildlife. It was also my SO’s first dive as a certified diver.
Except every time I clicked “record” I was stopping the recording, and every time I stopped it I started it. I captured nearly 2 hours of glorious footage of my fins, my hands, and my belly.
well can I tell you my perspective as the beneficiary of the work you do?
I rely on your information as one of the most highly credible, and the most deeply insightful sources of information as the invasion drags on. I'm always proud to promote it and grateful to see it. furthermore I know you do it out of generosity, and I appreciate that immensely.
I propose not to think of it as rework, but as your most rehearsed and thoroughly prepared production to date!

What I'm listening to today: "Puppygirl Forever", minasheep (Jami Lynne remix)
This is "breakcore" (is this breakcore? I think it is breakcore), cheerful happy hardcore pop, but in this remix it's going just a little too hard, the accelerator's pushed just a little too much, giddy until it gets a sort of a sinister edge, like a upbeat sugar high gone just a little too far, like… okay I guess like a puppy girl that's just a little too excited. I was trying not to say it
@futurebird I don't, I am familiar with a lot of Giger concept art for the Xeno art, are you referring to Necronom IV? The one with the very VERY phallic head
Il video inizia con un'immagine completamente oscura, che poco a poco si illumina da destra, rivelando una luce brillante che si avvicina lentamente al centro dell'immagine. Questa luce, che potrebbe essere la Luna, diventa sempre più visibile e luminosa, illuminando gradualmente il cielo notturno. La luce crea un effetto di sfocatura, con un bordo luminoso che si estende verso l'esterno, conferendo un senso di profondità e dimensione. In basso, si intravedono piccole luci rosse, probabilmente le luci di un veicolo in lontananza, che aggiungono un elemento di scala e contesto alla scena. La luce continua a crescere in intensità, illuminando maggiormente il cielo e creando un contrasto netto con l'oscurità circostante. La scena rimane statica, con la luce che domina l'immagine, mantenendo un'atmosfera di quiete e contemplazione.

I know you're probably exhausted with the topic of Robodebt. It's been going on forever. It's been a very very long road and the biggest arseholes behind it clearly got away with it, instead of going to jail. But I ask you to read one more article today, and reflect on the impoverished morals of Australian politics over the past decade that led to such an abuse of power.
People died because of this vote winning obsession with "welfare fraud". The real fraud is conducted by lobbyists, bankers, traders, developers, politicians, and their mates. If you're not one of the people who enjoy passive income from your wealth, then you're standard of living is being slowly crushed to make others richer.
"The government will pay hundreds of thousands of robodebt victims more than $500 million. But we may never know if public servants knowingly acted unlawfully."
