Re: Are you "queerphobic"?

While I'm here, I might as well get into trouble. ;) It looks like the Signpost will be amplifying the Tranarchist's essay in their upcoming "In the Media" op-ed. ( § ) Instead of noting that the MfD concluded that users can write pretty much whatever they want in essay-space as long as it's not con...

Re: Political bias and squabbling

probably the most biased line ive seen in a while is in a section of the "Unite the Right rally" article : "Efforts by Trump and his supporters to rewrite the history of the rally" Why does such a section even exist? Just describe what did happen and leave it at that. Unless the goal is "This artic...

For your amusement, I passed this along to parish coroner Bones, who has now published his examination in the disinformation report. ;)

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

I missed the story about Avisa Partners when it came out. In the hilariously skinny section about this on en.wp the lobbying for EDF and Bayer-Monsanto are not mentioned... despite it being in the third paragraph of the article cited: Selon plusieurs éléments obtenus, Avisa Partners a vendu des pres...

Re: WSWS: Mobilize the working class against French police murders and state repression!

I've been poking around on en.wp & fr.wp lately, and I noticed that in the 374K jumble of letters that is the French page on the pension reform protests there is one (and only one) occurrence of the word "émeutes" and that is Macron being quoted on TF1. :lol: That said, well after Macron ignored the...

Re: WSWS: Mobilize the working class against French police murders and state repression!

I dunno. Sarkozy was brash and unpleasant and had all sorts of legal troubles (he was recently sentenced to three years of prison, but of course two were suspended so he could do his time at home with an electronic bracelet). Hollande caved to the neolibs at every turn and helped them implode the So...

Re: Emmanuel Macron's terror regime murders teenager

That's quite a change from the original title... "Meurtre de Nahel : le mouvement ouvrier doit intervenir ! " 17-year old Nahel apparently got a job as a pizza delivery driver without having a driving license, which usually costs around €1000 to get in France. If you fit a certain profile (cf. délit...
