Writing #wikipedia pages about women from #history - especially #Australian women! - has become one of my favourite things to do recently ❤️

Wikipedia has almost 2 million #biographies, but less than 20% are about #women and #nonbinary people 😔

They’re running a campaign for #womenshistorymonth to help change this and it’s super easy to participate!

I finally finished reading The Power Broker by Robert A. Caro and while the book is extremely long, it paints an extremely detailed picture of Robert Moses' work in the City of New York. I read this as a part of the podcast 99% Invisible's book club, which went through all of 2024.

There are some chapters that feel like: 'here's a bunch of data'. There are other chapters that demonstrate how Moses would not help public transit, not on his watch, cars come first! One such example of that would be to run both sides of a highway far enough apart that you could run trains down the middle. Moses just wasn't interested.

And of course, there are examples of Moses pushing people out of their homes to make room for infrastructure. There are other examples where Moses is going to run a highway through some people's homes, even though there was a park one block south of there that would still work. Moses was having none of that. After all, he had the power – built up over decades.

And now that I'm done with The Power Broker, I need to read some more of the books on my shelf. I have such a backlog.

Well, I tried. Sometimes in search reputation management you cannot overcome the SERP features or the artificially promoted content.

pushed a ridiculous (and probably AI-generated) question to the top of this obscure query because - well, it's published on

There is no legitimate informational value in the query itself (I've never written a Tolkien biography, let alone made any "allegations" against Tolkien in such a work).

I wrote 2 blog posts as a response to that Quora question (it had been replicated on at least 1 Website at the time).

Until someone at Google decides that pushing bullshit to the top of the search results does not serve the interests of its users, we'll have to live with nonsense like this. Fortunately for me, I've got a couple of personal sites I can use to at least debunk this question.
