Wikipedia is a problem for Musk/Trump. Not, as Musk says, because it's "woke." Because it's one of our last reliable tethers to a consensus reality. Therefore, an antidote to disinformation.

Quote of the day:

This is your annual reminder that you are stronger than you think you are.

Every problem you’ve ever had, you’ve found ways to get over, around, through, or under it. One way or another you’ve dealt or are dealing with it right now.

Don’t ever forget it.
