#1 agree with Musk

Wikipedia leans to the left and toward some bad actors. On the vast majority of subjects there is no problem. On some, there is a problem.

example, the Wikipedia article on Antioch has absolutely nothing about the annexation of Antioch by Turkey in July 1939

#3 Make Wikipedia Useful Again!

Speaking of woke, how is the Salvation Army doing these days? I am seeing the red kettles outside grocery stores, but no one is manning them ( or is that personing them?)

#4 Salvation Army* and Marines Toys-for-tots are pretty much my only Christmas givings (besides Rantburg) based on $/% spent on need. They're both awesome.

* Year-round donations

#5 Wikipedia washes leftist dictatorships. They washes them as "leaders"
Fidel Castro is de Cuban "leader" for wikipedia.

For Augusto Pinochet is instead correctly the Chilean Dictator.
