FFS! - Parlour Parlour data diva Gill Matthewson turns a critical eye on the brand new Grokipedia entry on Parlour, finding it sloppy, deceptive and biased.

We had a lot on last year and didn’t manage to post much here at all. Let’s try this year! We have an excellent new piece up now by Gill Matthewson on the horror that is the Grokipedia entry on Parlour 😤🤯

Aptly titled FFS
