Pick of the Day: Depths of Wikipedia (in NYC) 8/23 & 8/26

Born out of a passion project during quarantine, one Annie Rauwerda has excavated many of the most intriguing nooks, cracks, crevices, corners, and, of course, depths, for her creation, Depths of Wikipedia. Shooting up to be a popular hub for what’s most fun on the Internet’s favorite library, Depths of Wikipedia has since become a live show that Annie tours with, even coming out all the way to LA at Dynasty Typewriter just last week. We caught the wonder that she has curated from her extensive combing through all of Wikipedia and it was one of the more delightful things we’ve seen throughout 2022.

So, NYC, you shouldn’t miss your chance to see two live editions of Depths of Wikipedia, happening in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, this month. Tues. Aug. 23rd at 6:30PM ET, Annie will take over Caveat in LES and even livestream it. Tickets are $20 for in-person and $10 to stream it from anywhere. Fri. Aug. 26th at 8PM ET, Annie will go to the heart of Gowanus, Brooklyn to bring Depths of Wikipedia to Life World. Tickets are only $15 and you can (and should) go get them here.

Also, if you’re curious about becoming a Wikipedia editor, Annie does a pretty great job of selling everyone of joining into that wondrous community.

Update on Kyle Kinane vs. @Pace_Foods

Within the last 24 hours since we reported this story of one Kyle Kinane hilariously taking on the automated corporate Twitter account of Pace Picante, not only have several news sources online picked up the story, but it’s become an entry in the Pace Food Wikipedia page, several other corporate higher ups got involved, and someone at Pace might have lost their job.

We’d like to think this whole incident might lead to an entire social media manual for corporations in how to handle the Internet and not implode, specifically dealing with comedians, and how they’ll still probably get it kind of wrong.

UPDATE: This entire incident was orchestrated by “master prankster” @RandyLiedtke.
