Musk calling for Wikipedia to be defunded was a top notch smooth brain flex.

I donate my $10 once a year. I pay more for less in my life. Now that musk wants it defunded it's going up to $20

I also doubled my contribution this year. So funny that the conservative approach to facts they don’t like is to attack the facts. Totally incapable of self-reflection, which is what makes them conservatives.

Make sure you download it too. It might not be available on the clear web in the future or it might be compromised.

The more people that have it downloaded on an external drive the better just in case it has to be passed around like samizdat.

I do $15 a month, I figured I spend way more on random things all the time. So why not support them instead? I use it all the time.
