Twitter is falling apart. Reddit is falling apart. Facebook fell apart ages ago. Meta is a trashfire. Instagram is baloney. Google can't even search for anything you want anymore.

You know what website still miraculously works?

Wikipedia.

You should donate to keep it that way.

The State of Democracy Around the World, 2023

Only 8% of the world’s population actually lives in a full, functioning democracy, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).
Meanwhile, another 37% of people live in some type of “flawed democracy”, while 55% of the world does not live in democracy at all, based on the EIU’s latest Democracy Index Report.

Today a student left an envelope on my desk with a thank you note and a $15 gift certificate for a restaurant. Alas, it would be unethical for me to accept it as I am a state employee who already gets compensated for doing my job. I took it to the legal office where our ethics compliance officer dwells.

Clarence Thomas accepted a vacation worth more than I make in 10 years.

Fuck that guy.
