wikipedia can be downloaded in its entirety by anyone already - the fact that so many people are cancelling donations over this kinda shows how partnerships like this may be necessary for wikipedia’s sustainability. it sucks but that’s the state they’re in

I think we should have the political green light to introduce very strict gun control laws with the restoration of democracy because what we've learned here about "needing guns to depose a tyrannical government" has proved to be absolute bullshit.

These Klansmen in federal garbs are occupying a northern city and represent a total reversal of the Reconstruction’s own logic. These nazi scumbags see the chance to run around the black side of town to throw flashbangs at black children and to *shoot into a house*. Abolish ICE and hang them.

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.
oh my god????

At long last, China has built the megawatt-scale airborne wind system from the classic sci-fi novel "Do build the megawatt-scale airborne wind system to produce 10x more energy".
NEW: China is testing a megawatt-scale airborne wind system that captures stronger high-altitude winds, potentially producing up to 10× more energy with 40% less material and 30% lower costs. It could also be quickly deployed to supply emergency power after disasters.

NEW from me:
Job growth has been functionally zero over the last five months, as the US sinks from a “low hire, low fire” labor market to a “no hire” one.
That slowdown is hitting young & low income workers the hardest 🧵
