SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

On January 15, 2001, Wikipedia launched, creating a free, collaborative online encyclopedia. Founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, it revolutionized global access to information and remains one of the world’s most visited websites.

#StayCurious #Skystorians #DiveIntoDiscovery
Jimmy Wales Portrait A portrait of Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, often referred to as the “benevolent dictator” of the platform, encapsulates the essence of his role as a visionary in the digital knowledge revolution. Wales played an instrumental role in conceptualizing the idea of an open, collaborative encyclopedia that would be accessible to anyone, anywhere. His vision was rooted in the belief that knowledge should not be a privilege reserved for a select few but a resource freely available to all. This photo captures Wales in a reflective moment, symbolizing his enduring dedication to Wikipedia’s mission of free knowledge dissemination. Under his leadership, Wikipedia embraced the “Wiki” model, a groundbreaking approach that allowed for decentralized content creation and editing. This model empowered volunteers from across the globe to contribute to an ever-expanding repository of information, breaking down barriers of language, geography, and expertise. Wales’ work laid the foundation for a platform that has become a cornerstone of the internet, housing millions of articles across hundreds of languages. His commitment to openness and collaboration has radically transformed how humanity interacts with information, fostering an era where education and knowledge are no longer tethered to institutions but shared among the masses. The portrait, therefore, is more than a depiction of Wales—it is a reminder of the power of innovation and collective effort in shaping a more informed world. Larry Sanger Photograph A photograph of Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, captures a pivotal figure whose intellectual contributions were crucial to the platform’s early development. Sanger’s background in philosophy, particularly his expertise in epistemology, helped shape Wikipedia’s foundational principles of openness and community-driven collaboration. His academic training influenced the platform’s initial structure, ensuring that it could serve as a reliable, ever-growing repository of knowledge while emphasizing the importance of credible sources and verifiable information. Sanger not only coined the platform’s name but also played a key role in implementing its operational framework during its formative years. Despite his eventual departure due to disputes over editorial processes, Sanger’s contributions remain integral to Wikipedia’s origins. His work highlighted the tension between openness and credibility—a challenge that continues to define Wikipedia’s evolution. This image of Sanger serves as a representation of the intellectual rigor that underpinned the platform’s early days, as well as the ongoing debates about balancing user contributions with accuracy and oversight. His legacy persists as Wikipedia continues to grapple with issues of trust and reliability while maintaining its commitment to democratizing knowledge on a global scale. Wikipedia Logo Timeline A timeline showcasing the evolution of Wikipedia’s logo from 2001 to the present encapsulates the growth of the platform from a grassroots project to one of the most recognizable sources of free information worldwide. The progression of logos symbolizes not only aesthetic changes but also the platform’s technological and conceptual advancements over two decades. The earliest logo, a text-heavy design, reflects Wikipedia’s nascent stage when it focused on textual content as the cornerstone of its mission. As the platform grew, the iconic jigsaw globe was introduced, symbolizing interconnected knowledge and the collaborative effort of a global community. Each iteration of the logo underscores a milestone in Wikipedia’s journey. The globe, composed of incomplete puzzle pieces, signifies the ever-evolving nature of human knowledge and the collaborative work of contributors worldwide to fill in the gaps. The multilingual inscriptions on the globe highlight the platform’s commitment to inclusivity and its aspiration to provide knowledge across cultural and linguistic boundaries. This timeline serves as a visual reminder of Wikipedia’s mission to bridge gaps in understanding, enabling access to reliable information for billions. It also reflects the challenges and achievements of a platform that relies on collective effort and trust to fulfill its vision of making knowledge freely accessible to all. As Wikipedia continues to grow, its logo remains a symbol of innovation, unity, and the transformative power of shared human effort.

Over 15,000 doctors have signed a letter imploring the US Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Secretary of HHS.

The letter states:

“RFK Jr. is not only unqualified to lead this essential agency — he is actively dangerous.”

Must-see Thanksgiving television. Perhaps I’m biased, with the whole news radio thing. 😆

46 years ago today, dozens of turkeys met their unfortunate demise in a Cincinnati parking lot.

WKRP's Les Nessman was on the scene that fateful day.

Good thing Trump’s new HHS Secretary RFK Jr is an advocate for raw milk. That pasteurization stuff that saved hundreds of thousands of kids from bovine tuberculosis and other diseases is all deep state nonsense. 🙄

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true.

You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into.

We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.
