Text reads: Can you trust what you read online? In a world of hidden edits and corporate agendas, Wikipedia stands apart with every edit, discussion, and correction visible.

In a world where headlines spread without sources, Wikipedia takes a different approach: radical transparency. Every edit and discussion is visible to everyone, making knowledge creation a collective, accountable process that builds trust 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

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.

xAI silent after Grok sexualized images of kids; dril mocks Grok’s “apology” xAI may be liable for Grok generating AI CSAM.

I don’t think it is progressive to force urban homeowners like me who live in fire-safe areas to pay higher home insurance premiums to subsidize people who choose to live in McMansions in places with very high fire risk.

A text adventure game reminiscent of an old green text terminal. The title reads "DADA QUEST System Version 1.0.0". There is a large main area with a prompt and a text box underneath for the player to enter a response. The player is currently on Turn 0 and has 5 points. There are also various icons visible. The prompt reads: "You stand in a cluttered attic above an old shop. Dusty trunks and shelves overflow with strange trinkets-maps, masks, and jars whose contents you can’t quite make out. A trapdoor creaks slightly in the floorboards. What would you like to do?"

My wife started DADA QUEST in a “dimly lit room”… 20 minutes later she was a spy on an assassination mission. Or maybe you'd like to explore the secrets of the Crenshaw Library? That’s the promise, chaos, and sometimes surreal whimsy of this retro text adventure with an AI game master.
