@bheater I like this one, but the all timer has to be Richard Sharpe Shaver

@Charles_Hawtrey @damianreloaded not really. Like all the subject matter freaks took over Wikipedia immediately. For instance, I once created a Wikipedia article for my friends because they were in a lawsuit against another band with the same name. The trial win was that even though they were relatively unknown, they had a song on Tony Hawk and a bunch of split EPs on SubPop, cited by moi. Uninspiring except that someone came by and made one of those dumb membership charts which are useless

@damianreloaded when I was in university it was relatively new but a super handy thing to do was read the Wikipedia article which barely existed and get all the references to read for a bibliography because the university had all the books and journals

@lenaoflune that actually sucks

@Anarchaeologist whoa whoa Abyss… I *thought* we were just having a good time…

@LarsTheWanderer for whatever reason, of all the antisocial shit I’ve been listening to my entire life, THIS is what pissed off my Dad?

@damianreloaded the thing with Wikipedia is that it is generally trustworthy because the various subject matter is important to someone somewhere, they’re teamed up with a bunch of people who are the same, so it’s not as if the stereotype is even true that anybody can just go write anything - those nerds will change it back immediately. It’s the same bias as any other printed thing, just distributed.

@mrk one of the all timer tweets has got to be Jay Bucheral during the initial Covid shutdown saying “I have vastly overestimated the amount of Tool my wife wants to listen to”
