Numerous Wikipedia users working for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) have been persistently adding references to the group in various articles. The scheme included attempting to mention ADL claims about antisemitism in the article about the reddit-driven stock market boom in video game retailer GameStop. The ADL editing campaign is another example of rampant efforts by paid editors and those with conflicts of interest to exploit the site’s open editing model.

That put March 2021 as the 19th-driest March on record for Boston. If you draw that out since January 1st, the year-to-date standing is 7th place. (WBZ-TV graphic) It should come as no surprise that abnormally dry conditions have been growing across the state and across southern New England.

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) — It’s been more than a year of masking up, sheltering in place and working from home. We’ve avoided public transportation, hugs and handshakes.

Nikola Jokic might as well be coach Michael Malone’s security blanket. With the game on the line, there’s arguably no one better. The MVP frontrunner did it again Friday night, staving off a furious San Antonio comeback to hang on, 121-119, and extend the Nuggets’ winning streak to eight. The Spurs, down 11 points with less than four minutes remaining, stormed back to make it a one-point game with 10 seconds left. After Michael Porter Jr. made one of his two free throws, the Nuggets survived a frenetic chase to the Spurs’ basket where San Antonio couldn’t convert on multiple close looks. “In those situations, the clock moves so slow,” Malone said. “It is like watching a movie, and I was just waiting for the buzzer to sound before the ball went through the hoop. … Feel really fortunate to pull this win out. … But, yeah, this is a little bit of a stressful job.” The Nuggets, now 34-18 overall, have won 17 of their last 20 games.
