Always fear a woman who has done the reading. At least, that's one takeaway from this article from WIRED published in 2021 about one Wikipedia editor's lone campaign to scrub the site of all Nazi-glorifying material.

Someone got scammed out of 31k on Zelle.

As someone who was a victim of online fraud earlier this year, I can relate. While I did not suffer the losses that the author did I experienced many of the same emotions.

Draconian new laws on abortion and reproductive health combined with hostility towards, you know, sane things, is causing a "red state brain drain." And these states can't afford to get any dumber than they already are.

From the "F around and find out" files, a whistleblower at a Chinese factory making electronics for Apple & Amazon calls them out for illegally employing seasonal underage employees, only to do two years' time in the pokey and have his employment opportunities subsequently turn to shit.
