I think I gave them like $15 a few years ago. They’ve got some good stuff on there. Terracotta Army. Waco. Anything about the Beach Boys. Feels good to know I threw them a bone when they needed it most. Only caveat is that it is an “if you give a mouse a cookie” situation and they do email you for more after a while. If you’re not as resilient as me it could become a consistent expense

What a resource… At any given time I will have several Wiki tabs open. At the moment, I’m reading articles on Boethius, POSIWID, Counting Cards and the Cornball Express (Roller Coaster). Admittedly, I have never donated a dime to this site.

Kill every “poster” impulse and put info online for no recognition, no reward, no glory. Hunt for kooky stories in news archives and put them on Wikipedia! Replace dead sources with archived links, expand two-sentence stubs about obscure rivers in the middle of nowhere, fix typos!

The best part of phones is that they’re a small box of all of your friends. You can basically always talk to one of your friends. Even if they’re one million away. Isn’t that just the coolest thing ever. Call a friend today and chat for no reason. It’s one of the best things you can do.

They’re maybe the only ones who understand what it is to live in the future. “Electronic cigarettes” are something you’d be promised at the 1964 World’s Fair. That’s real flying car shit. And they lived to see it. We don’t get it like they do.
