Deeply unwelcome. I hate that this is even a thought that he has had.

Buying and destroying Twitter started with a joke like this.

Unless Wikipedia is a public company with fiduciary responsibilities, can’t they just say, “fuck you. No.”?

EDIT: They’re a non commercial 501(c)(3). They can say “fuck you. No.”

Well I’m sure glad someone looked into that. Still, I’m anxious he might try to do Bad Things™ to it. Ya know, like he does whenever he gets some idea in his head about something, and then Bad Things™ happen to it.

There's that, and the fact that Jimmy Wales might have a reverse uno card, as he is quietly developing a free and non profit social media platform of his own called trust cafe.
