Re: Scotland implodes

The UK press covers the story with their usual "panache"

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceq3w7lq95jo

Imagine how many "activists" are screaming and spluttering right now? "Another fucking old white man" etc. etc.

Re: Should this forum send a representative to WikiConf 2024 to monitor what the Wikipediocracy representative is up to?

Apparently Zoloft plans to attend WikiConference North America (Indianapolis,4-6 October 2024) https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13519 I'm planning on attending this conference, as I did in 2016. Are any other Wikipediocracy members interested in attending as well? Why, you may a...

Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....

Good luck. I got very VERY sick of studying these lesser freaks more than 10 years ago. Repeated name changes on many of them don't help--sometimes the name change isn't listed in the WP:Changing name noticeboard.

Re: What's so special about Marjorie Taylor Green?

Say what you like about the Vig, his comment about Hanlon's razor fits her perfectly. "Far right" does not describe her as ideally as "far nuts".

Re: Wikipedia now down to 16 Bureaucrats

I think Wikipedia dodged a bullet here. I think the only reason 28Bytes wanted to be an Arbitrator, was to help people like Malleus. Which is a shame really. A Wikipedia modelled on doing what suits editors who think and act like Mallues, would surely have imploded in a lake of flaming shit many ye...

Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFkL4ME-8dQ Worst performance I've seen from her so far. She comes across as patronizing, unpleasant and uninteresting. She looks tired and cranky, with no hint of the low-key energy and understated enthusiasm with which she discussed crypto shenanigans, not with any...

Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR

Okay dudes and dudeoids......it's been about 2 weeks since the stink. She made the New York Times . Though it's not exactly good news. And these Republican congressfolks probably aren't going to accomplish anything but set up a flea circus for the world's media to laugh at. In the 1970s, a Congressi...

The "official" list, and you know what I think of their "official lists" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrats Yes, Steve "UninvitedCompany" Dunlop has been very inactive since last year.

Re: Twitter's decline

Not only is X-shitter filling up with (even worse than ever) shit.....because your feed is "tailored for your miserable personality", you have to go to Reddit or Facebook to find out what's really happening.
