Twenty-five years ago, Wikipedia was an unlikely idea: a place where anyone could share free knowledge.
Today, it’s one of the most visited sites on Earth, not powered by corporate ads, but by people.

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

this isn't an excuse for the republican party's atrocities, but miller's not a party guy at all, he's a fascist and a fanatic pursuing his own personal agenda, and he will burn the party to the ground in pursuit of that agenda if that's what it takes. this is why you don't put fanatics in charge.

An incredibly macabre irony that at the same moment mass language archives are being looted to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, our own public access to our preeminent form of archiving language is being slowly strangled to death.
Yes! The thing abt public libraries that is so beautiful & crucial is the idea that *anybody* could do this — you need no credential, there’s no gatekeeping, literally any person can be an intellectual. You can come from absolutely nothing & yet, by means of curiosity + work, create real knowledge
I wrote a significant chunk of my first book at a Chicago Public Library, an amazing public space where people could read books and newspapers, access the internet, or just keep warm for a while on a cold day. This is appalling.
