Fact Check: Peru no longer classifies transgender people as mentally ill
It's Sunday, so here's your Jesus-related cat content.
"Wikipedia is the largest compendium of human knowledge ever assembled, with more than 7 million articles in its English version, the largest and most developed of 343 language projects. Started nearly 25 years ago, the site was long mocked as a byword for the unreliability of information on the internet, yet today it is, without exaggeration, the digital worldâs factual foundation. Itâs what Google puts at the top of search results otherwise awash in ads and spam, what social platforms cite when they deign to correct conspiracy theories, and what AI companies scrape in their ongoing quest to get their models to stop regurgitating info-slurry â and consult with such frequency that they are straining the encyclopediaâs servers. Each day, itâs where approximately 70 million people turn for reliable information on everything from particle physics to rare Scottish sheep to the Erfurt latrine disaster of 1184, a testament both to Wikipediaâs success and to the total degradation of the rest of the internet as an information resource.
âItâs basically the only place on the internet that doesnât function as a confirmation bias machine.â
But as impressive as this archive is, it is the byproduct of something that today looks almost equally remarkable: strangers on the internet disagreeing on matters of existential gravity and breathtaking pettiness and, through deliberation and debate, building a common ground of consensus reality."

Want to hear something shocking and depressing about this?
Recently Mrs B, the Youngest and I were driving through a nearby town and witnessed a mob spraying roundabouts and putting flags on lampposts. It was like a bigots carnival.
Mrs B called 111, the non emergency Police number. Explained what was going on and the operator said "these are English flags and we are in the country of England so it is not a crime". Straight up. Defacing traffic safety measures is fine now apparently according to the authorities.
True story.
