Wikipedia was founded exactly 20 years ago, on January 15, 2001: today is Wikipedia Day, our birthday. I have been editing Wikipedia -- & writing, teaching and helping govern it -- for 17.5 of those years. #wikipedia20 1/🧵

Made some improvements to: pomodoro.semlab.io An OCR tool for complicated docs that lets you manually select what text to extract. You can now structure the text into fields and download as JSON. It now also supports multipage PDFs. New tutorial video on the home page.

It is with great sadness to report that Effie Kapsalis @digitaleffie is no longer with us. She was a fierce advocate for open access to knowledge at the @Smithsonian and beyond, and a passionate @Wikipedia supporter. @MuseumCN #Museweb #OpenGLAM #GLAMwiki everloved.com/life-of/effie-…

Donald Trump asking the SCOTUS to invalidate an election, suspend the Constitution & just declare him president is wild AF That would essentially mean the Jan 6 insurrection was successful. There’s no way anyone who knows REAL HISTORY thinks that could happen… Again. A thread

I'm losing my fucking mind. ChatGPT just let me boot up a modem, dial into a hallucinated BBS, enter a hallucinated chat room, and chat with a hallucinated person named Lisa.

Matchday two has arrived and football mania has certainly reached the Library. Pob lwc today @Cymru! #YWalGoch #TogetherStronger #ArBenYByd

@nap_time You had a lot happen this year, friend! Being out of it (or reading less, or whatever) is legit

Cosycore. Empathycore. Hobbitcore!! This thread is genius. Let's all be Hobbitcore.

One wonders I guess if the Twitter fiasco is a surprise to corporate shareholders, and if so why.

Let us reflect on this Matt Levine story from May: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… The board didn't have to say yes, and (I don't think) the shareholders had to vote yes. And anyone with a brain (or research background) could have told them and Elon acquisition would be bad, so ?????

@qwertnewto @jersiegel solid answer. Mine is off because we chose this week (of all the weeks) to replaces furnaces with heat pumps ☑️

@jersiegel Yes, permanently. Retrofit old house toward passivehouse standard, and relegate this question to the “Remember when we used to…?” heap

Massachusetts: Is your heat still off?

@jamesofur good luck with the stove, and I am impressed! Caramels are difficult. Wishing you glorious comfort cooking this time around! I may have bought a variety of gelling/emulsifying agents to bring a little molecular experimentation action to thanksgiving :)

Say a prayer for me cleaning the stove now though

It begins #comfortcooking

Come find me at @phoebeayers@mastodon.mit.edu and let's go experience some terrible UX together

You've now got new fake accounts spoofing the apology of the real account for the behavior of the other fake accounts.

@krmaher 1) I was always sad wm-l wasn't/isn't wittier; the funniest members historically had some of the sharpest axes. I always wanted it to be more fun to complain. 2) I've been thinking a lot about how the lessons we all learned about community pushback are, apparently, non-obvious.

{This is a tweet with an audience of approximately 10 people.} Twitter suddenly feels like a much more witty Wikimedia-l.

@TownBlvd We're all lucky to have you!

@smythsewn We got a tiny David Bowie!
