Best train route in the UK, in my biased opinion!

When in doubt, go to Islay.
@wikimediauk.bsky.social for some reason my tag didn't work!
I am on fire, keep clear of me.

One of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work
Catching up on this way too late - congratulations friend. And your dedication was perfect π₯Ήπ she would've loved this.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way.
Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.
Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US.
If youβre planning to protest, hereβs how to safeguard your digital security.
When people ask what my job is, I often say 'Wikipedia' but in reality it's more wide-ranging now than ever: here's a little blog post about what Topics for Impact could look like in 2026 and what I've been up to lately.

They once gave Molly double gabapentin. She proceeded to vomit everywhere, like a horrible furry exorcism. They then tried to refuse to trim her claws because of said boaking. Not today, I said. Not this day. Today the claws will be trimmed.
In memory of Rob Reiner, please enjoy my favourite Wikipedia entry of all time, which is Former Members of Spinal Tap. Any time I need a laugh, I pull it up.

More of this please! Three dimensional childfree women β€οΈ
Really enjoyed Down Cemetery Road and wanted to highlight how refreshing it is to see two women characters who:
a) openly state they don't want children
b) are also depicted as compassionate, kind caregivers to a child
c) and yet do not then change their minds and decide to have a child anyway
Twelve months already! Time flies when you're having fun - looking forward to 2026 and another year @openresleeds.bsky.social @leedsunilibraries.bsky.social π
I think it also gets better with every rewatch which is quite an achievement β€οΈ
I am so intrigued by this!
To my friends from LiveJournal I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom? I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him. I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been I hope you got your houseboat. I hope you got everything. -Hayley DeRoche

I started knitting in October as an attempt to get off my phone and soothe some anxiety.
I am not very good but I did just finish my first little project. The sewing is atrocious but the effort is visible ππ©·π§‘
@lunapuella.bsky.social is an excellent knitting SOS wizard β
Decolonizing does not mean the same thing as diversity & inclusivity. You can have diverse spaces & still have colonialism and colonial
mentality present.
