Send them clips from the Museum and here, maybe?

Re: Why Musk had Ken Klippenstein banned from Twitter/X

It was a shitshow--and Stonetoss had dropped out of the "news cycle". No mentions of him since the X-plosion of March '24. Now everyone knows his real name, and Musk looks like an idiot. As usual. And as usual....Klippenstein has also dropped out of the washing machine. The last post of his that was...

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

If you type "David Geier" into WP's searchbox, you don't get an article on David Geier, you get the article about his late father Mark Geier. Both notorious anti-vax crusaders and promoters of questionable medical practices, both sanctioned by the state of Maryland for practicing medicine without a ...

Re: He gone

Let's not forget the AN discussion. A variety of well-known shitbirds showed up to twist and shout, usually in Bbb's favor. They all know damn well what a rotten bastard he's been for 13 years. Yet he still obtains "special treatment" as a "special person". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title...

Re: Experiences with RationalWiki and MetaPedia?

You make them sound so enthusiastic, but most of them seemed utterly listless and/or bored when I visited. I started asking questions and making statements and they did the usual song and dance but I got the impression they weren't really into it - not that they should be, but again I have to wonde...

Should be called USS David Shankbone.
Now THAT would be FUNNY.

It's a bit of a backhanded insult to name a lowly oiler ship after someone. It makes me wonder if some homophobic navy official had that idea--knowing that the gay folks would have no idea it was an insult.

Spot the difference (and then tell us why in the hell there are 2 repetitive articles basically about the same mountain)

Re: Crap or questionable articles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_Power_Station Terrible article. I don't see evidence of any major updates in the past several years. And that giant table of MWh production in the middle of the article is totally worthless, unreadable, and unhelpful for a "general interest reference". It wastes...
