Elon Musk Also Has a Problem with Wikipedia Lately, Musk’s beef has merged with a general conviction on the right that the site is biased against conservatives.

At a time when many social-media sites have abandoned their safeguards against mis- and disinformation, Wikipedia is a bastion of transparency and accessible knowledge. So maybe it should come as no surprise that Elon Musk has been attacking it.

The left keeps getting identity politics wrong – and the right is benefiting from that | Ash Sarkar Instead of liberation, we’ve ended up with competitive grievance, weaponised victimhood, and a focus on β€˜I’ not β€˜us’, says author and activist Ash Sarkar

You don't want to tell your children that all you did during this time was post. You should be podcasting too

Sou feita de muitos
nΓ³s
desobediΓͺncia e meio-dia
Sou aquela que negou
aquilo
que os outros queriam
Disse nΓ£o Γ  minha sina
de destino preparado
recusei as ordens escusas
preferi a liberdade
e vivo deste meu lado.

Obrigada por tudo, Maria Teresa Horta.

Umberto Eco’s List of the 14 Common Features of Fascism

#3. The cult of action for action’s sake. β€œAction being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”

Elon Musk and people who share his perspective continue to target Wikipedia because they genuinely want to hinder your ability to fact-check information. While Wikipedia is not without its flaws, it offers far more accurate information than X

The thing is, there was absolutely nothing ambiguous about it. It was as ambiguous as me flipping the bird and saying I just had a cramp on my middle finger.

The gaslighting is so huge that we're now being told that the thing we very clearly saw being done twice (Apartheid Clyde doing a nazi salute) wasn't, in fact, what we saw. And we're arguing back, like it's something that grants arguing. It's gonna be a fun 4 years.

The mainstream media may not discuss it, but here's the fact:

Three people β€”Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg β€” now own more wealth than the bottom half of American society.

A handful of corporations control what is produced & the prices we pay.

Capitalism is broken.
