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.

The thousands of volunteer editors who write, edit, and fact-check Wikipedia adhere remarkably well, over all, to one of its core values: the neutral point of view. But Elon Musk, like others on the right, insists the site is biased against conservatives.

The View from Inside Beatlemania In 1964, on the band’s first world tour, Paul McCartney took pictures that have only recently been discovered. What do they show us?

From 1963 to early 1964, as the Beatles travelled from Liverpool and London and Paris to New York, Washington, and Miami, Paul McCartney shot dozens of rolls of film. More than five decades later, hundreds of his photographs were rediscovered.

I wish there was any recognition in US politics that the ONLY time in history β€” ever in all of history! β€” NATO has actually activated Article 5 mutual defense was to help the US after 9/11 β€” and then NATO fought with us for 20 yrs in Afghanistan. We have been the biggest beneficiary of NATO blood.

DOGE’s rampage through institutions has parallels in China’s Cultural Revolution I survived Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party’s purges. What's happening now with DOGE reminds me of the CCP’s Central Cultural Revolution Group.

Girl 'saw Bigfoot' when she skipped school in Salford – he has a 'great jawline' EXCLUSIVE: Speaking to the Daily Star, Deborah Hatswell described her run-in with a hairy, 'strong-jawlined' apeman she now believes to be the mythical cryptid, Bigfoot

Regret to report that the β€œBigfoot” you saw in a park in Salford while you were bunking off school in 1982 was a particularly hairy flasher, probably from the Salford area. Or several cats in a long coat.
