Wikipedia was the third draft.
The first two were called Wenipedia and Widipedia.
Hi @Expedia. Why is it so hard to print a simple flight itinerary? A single simple page with all and only the info I need. The fact that you don’t supply this shows conclusively that you put profits before customers (of course).
Here’s a picture of Batman.
Batman spotted in Turkey.
Resolved: That, as the profit motive is inherently centralizing, blockchain technology should not be used to build decentralized networks.
Protocols, not platforms.
Filthy lucre makes it inherently possible to transform a protocol into a platform.
Trump is the only president to have been acquitted twice of utterly ridiculous charges brought by a corrupt Establishment. Again, not impeached twice: acquitted twice.
By their actions, the D.C. swamp creatures have merely impeached themselves.

I love open source software. It’s one of the best things in life.
If you are (a) 100% devoted to Internet liberty (esp. free speech), privacy, & open source (also open content, hardware, and standards), and (b) you’re interested in nonprofit support of that liberty, particularly through old-fashioned distributed networks, get in touch.
Hi #WordPress developers—please bid on this project if you have time soon to do it! larrysanger.org/2021/01… Thanks!
If the current trial were legit & constitutional, the Chief Justice would be duty bound to participate; he could be impeached himself if he did not participate. He is not participating. Ergo, the trial is illegitimate & unconstitutional.
Mitchell Baker, the Mozilla Fnd CEO, says we need to do more than deplatform people. Ms. Baker, in your position, you should be advocating for more freedom, not less>

I wonder how much #WordPress spam actually originates from Big Tech bad actors who are essentially working to shut down a big source of competition.
If I were evil and wanted to shore up my market reach, I might do this. Rational strategy.
TIL Tom Brady is a football player, and that he won a lot of Superbowls, because Paul Joseph Watson, a Brit, made a video about the left being mad at him.
I guess everybody doesn’t think TV & spectator sports is a waste of time.
“News of the obvious” and surrealistic fake news are both ever-present and increasingly boring constants. This is not good and will not end well. Read >

Hi there @Chase Bank, do you realize that when you cut off the business of some company due to their political affiliation, you are alienating everyone that shares that affiliation? Surely you know this hurts your business. You know? Mkay then.
In principle, I like the idea of crypto/blockchain content projects. But most, if not all, simply trade on the idea of “decentralization”—even as they (probably deliberately) remain functionally centralized. Sorry—I wish the news were better.
Tucker Carlson & Mark Stein brilliantly debunk the very idea of a “reality czar.” It’s incredible that we must debate this.
Educated liberals, if there are any remaining—are you still comfy with such insanity from the Establishment left? Really? Watch >
I have finally fixed the http > https problem. Ugh, taking too long solving problems like that is what I get for self-hosting the site.
Well, at least now we know how desperate Democrats are to get and hold on to power.
It turns out there already are RSS feeds for Mastodon.social pages. See, for example, my feed here: mastodon.social/@lsanger.rss. Pretty cool.
Feedly already lets me view a feed of microblogs from multiple sources. Look at the screencap >
There are certain things I just don’t try, don’t care about, and am totally ignorant about. Like, for years, Kanye West—no idea.
Well, another of those things is TikTok. I checked it out for 30 mins just now. WHAT a waste of time. Good Lord.
Somebody is trying to port his tweets to the Fediverse. An important step toward making social media 100% interoperable. Can anyone help?
Justice Samuel Alito explained and defended his remarks in a pro-liberty, anti-lockdown speech last year, saying he’s not surprised at the reaction he’s received:
11/ Here’s an MP3 of a couple of tunes played on the piano I got earlier today, a George Steck baby grand, before a tuning. It’s close to in tune already.
10/ Particularly if you want a spinet style piano, there are gazillions of good ones for $1K or much less, that at most just need cleaning and tuning and other work that wouldn’t run you more than $500. Do avoid the scams!
9/ The music store owner I got my piano from said movers often must dump pianos people just want to get rid of. Many end in landfills. Some belong there, but some just need expert TLC, like the upright I tried.
8/ The economics of pianos is interesting. The most gorgeous new, high-quality instruments cost 10s of 1000s of $. But there are many more pianos out there than there are active players. You’d be shocked at what you can get free and cheap.
7/ So I looked in Facebook Marketplace and here were a bunch more candidates. My wife told me to spend a little money. I learned that for under $2000 you can get a beautiful baby grand without significant issues.
