‘People thought I was a communist doing this as a non-profit’: is Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales the last decent tech baron?

In an online landscape characterised by doom and division, the people’s encyclopedia stands out – a huge collective endeavour giving everyone free access to the sum of human knowledge. But with Elon Musk branding it ‘Wokipedia’ and AI looming large, can it survive?

NEW: The cleavage shot no UK tabloid will print.

If you want to understand how truly ignorant and absent the British media is on Russian interference, read on.

A Kremlin spy scandal, a trove of bikini shots....and still nothing but tumbleweed.

When Trump said he would bring on a "New Golden Age," he was talking about his wallet.

And the only operational high speed rail we have is HS1. Spain has the most in the world after China and France, Italy and Germany have plenty. Let's complete HS2 and extend it to Glasgow. Then consider HS from London to Edinburgh and to Bristol.
