Huh, TIL that someone had abolished Encyclopedia Britannica…

You HAVE to love Ackman trying to encourage an Encyclopaedia Britannica revival. Amazing... Perhaps we could sell them door to door

Also, Britannica still exists online. He should try googling it, he might learn something.

I strongly suspect he'd hate that as well if he tried to read it.

It certainly doesn’t provide the support to his political positions he’s hoping for. Real shame it’s an Illinois company now not a British one tho.

Next he'll be pushing for an update to Encarta

Oh snap

When did Encyclopedia Brittanica go away? As far as I can tell it’s fully online, and many public libraries (and maybe Harvard libraries?) make it available to cardholders.

Sue him if this is untrue. Right wingers have no shame.

Has he commented on the ADL whitewashing the Nazi salutes or is he keeping schtum like most pro-Israel accounts?

dmk1793.bsky.social•27 days ago

He's been defending Musk (naturally)

He really needs to watch The Plot Against America.

the man makes Rabbi Bengelsdorf look sagacious by comparison

Sorry, I've been trying not to ask, but I have to. Did you Google his name, or did you just remember it?

dmk1793.bsky.social•27 days ago

I googled it relatively recently when trying to work out who Jonathan Greenblatt reminded me of, and I have remembered it ever since
