Holy shit.
The whole bloody thing is in the water!
Tumblr media
Got hit by a massive container ship.
Fucking hell.
I hope nobody was on the damn thing when it collapsed.

Look at it!
Tumblr media
It’s GONE!
Fuck.
What’s that?
They already changed the wording on its Wikipedia page?

Jesus Christ wikipedia!
You fuckers really do work fast!
Oh my GOD!
I’m not trying to sensationalise this btw.
I just wasn’t expecting it.
I’m not anticipating such incidents like some ghastly disaster-worshipping ghoul with issues.
I just hope nobody was hurt or killed.
I also worry that the conspiracy nuts will try saying it was faked or some crap. Fuck that shit!

you remind me of a really chill maths teacher and its so great. like your personality. this is such a weird ask im sorry
I find it less weird than you'd expect, considering I'm currently planning to teach math. There are some dry math teachers out there, so I'm glad my vibes are at least right lol

One of the worst places I've seen antisemitism is Wikipedia (which should be really concerning, since so many people use it uncritically as a source of information). I'm an editor there, but I've been taking a break for my own mental health, but I still feel like I need to fight back and stand up for Jews even though it seems hopeless.
The people who do this are smart and know how to manipulate the system to get away with their bigotry. They use biased sources, but claim they're fine. One example: they're trying to change the title of the article on the October 7 rapes to "Alleged October 7 rapes". Basically denying it, trying to discredit the New York Times report on it, etc.
Or how they say of antizionist-not-antisemitic stuff "x has been described as antisemitic". Or how they uncritically accept Hamas statistics way too often. If you have a disclaimer on every single article about an Israeli settlement that "they're illegal under international law", you should have a disclaimer after every claim made by the "Gaza Health Ministry" that they're an arm of Hamas and can't be verified.
I'm just so tired.

There should be a website/wiki specifically for anti-endo system terms, like Pluralpedia but without endogenic junk.
If anyone makes that, let us know cause that would be awesome!

“…the sight of Elon Musk charging towards Wikipedia with his trademark guile and delicacy was so predictable that it was almost relaxing. He saw a collective resource that people prized and he wanted to hurt it.”
Thoth knows Wikipedia’s not perfect, but I’d sooner have it handy than not have it.

sometimes when I'm bored, I go through the list of recent bad faith Wikipedia edits that have since been reverted. a lot of them are politically contentious/offensive topics that attract crazies and trolls in general, but sometimes there are completely innocent inoffensive articles that people attack for no reason. some guy yesterday vandalized the article on the chemical element francium

Does any horror story about small towns capture the vibe more horrifyingly than this paragraph on Wikipedia
Tumblr media
This small farming community is known for its mob killing, its unsolved murders, its unsolved disappearances, and the annual pumpkin festival
