Archive team is grabbing thousands of sites this week, evidence of elections, of positions, of statements, of everything. And all the other crap we're making online, of course.

I just discovered that the Wikipedia infoboxes for presidents' dogs includes fields for "Term", "Predecessor", and "Successor", as though they were elected 😂 Screenshot is from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_(dog)

Wikipedia editors put an enormous amount of care and dedication into getting information correct. One contributor invested 90 hours and read through 3,000 pages of scientific literature to rewrite just one section of Wikipedia's climate change article. mashable.com/feature/climat…

Do you love my work? Do you believe in kind and thoughtful fact based dialog as the most wonderful thing about being human? Then fight for section 230. It matters. A lot.
