I made a donation to Wikipedia yesterday because I believe in its relevance even more now than ever

Just visit any page of the online encyclopaedia, and click on the donation link that pops up at the top

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

I wanted to see if I could empty a big wooden chest to move it out of my room but I can’t, I still kept a lot. We made space inside though, that’ll come in handy soon for the overflow of fabrics in other parts of the house
And I also re-found a few things either me or mom will wear again right now

Spent half the afternoon sorting old (old!) clothes of mine, mom’s, dad’s, others, that id kept for either re-use or sentimental reasons, as well as fabric. Now we have 3 bags to donate (good quality linen, wool, cotton & lyocell shit from > 20yrs ago, plus stretch synthetic fabrics I’ll never use)

Suggesting Love Island is blowing up in transformative fandom based on 100 fics is bad journalism. Framing two dozen fics here—and guessing at the sincerity of political RPF, a difficult task even for people who know what they're talking about—as a fandom worthy of coverage is deeply irresponsible.

Is Nick Fuentes Winning Over Women on the Left?

There are the Tumblr “Nickstorians” and sincere fanfics. But are young, liberal, possibly irony-poisoned women fetishizing or even falling for the hard-right streamer with the “groyper” following? Wri...

Chiming in to confirm that France 2025 has a very different vibe to 1789 and that NYC’s richest wouldn’t mind living here now

They should be grateful it’s not France 1789.

Yup, as a podficcer, this exactly. Many writers see podfic as a “format shift” that preserves their production (it does), so like a copy or a “reposting”. I feel unsafe without permission bc we’ve had this fight several times as a community… permission & statements are the way the cookie crumbled

"France’s deficit is the logical outcome of Macronism: a massive state combined with tax cuts for rich people. The president bows to oligarchs."

It's so rare to read this outside of left-wing newspapers, I feel like crying. 😂

If even the Financial Times say it, maybe we’re led by powerful billionaires who own our media and our politicians

Financial Times @financialtimes.com · 1d

Opinion: More than any other western European country, France is dominated by powerful billionaires paying relatively low taxes. Most voters agree that France should cut its deficit, and the majority says: the super-rich first. on.ft.com/4hedHHZ

Great and practical thread! It’s great to have a transformative statement! This might help you think about it :)
