Learning how to fight misinformation that impedes progress in climate change, pandemic response, democracy, and all things important. Unlikely to respond to DMs
Imagine you're in a sudden disaster like a burning building, sinking ship, airplane crash, where your goal is to get out quickly before you die. Now, you would think that everyone around you would have the same goal, right? Researchers in disaster behavior know otherwise. 1/6
Honestly never thought this day would come. But my pinned report about Trump and Epstein, which is 36,500+ words and is the most comprehensive, sourced, and terrifying report on this subject available in the US, is now far and away the most read report PROOF has ever published.
So many supportive comments. Thank you so much. I’ve been asked why I was sacked, so a quick explainer. We as Guardian journalists overwhelmingly opposed the deal & went on strike & we needed a union spokesperson to talk to the media, which I took on. On the day of the…
Earlier this year, I lost my beloved job at my beloved Observer when the Guardian, in its great wisdom, gave the newspaper away to a podcast company...who promptly sacked me. So, forgive my delight today, in being nominated for FIVE awards in the British Podcast Awards!! 1/
One day your children will be grateful for every covid infection you protected them from.
🇺🇸🇺🇸OK - TRUMP JUST POSTED THIS🇺🇸🇺🇸 DJT is mentally ill. An intervention is required. Why are Americans tolerating it? This is not leadership. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It’s Zimi @zhouliang_mask zimiair.com for me! I usually wear the plain black KN100 headstraps but also enjoy their limited edition designs as well as the @RackMask filters compatible with the Zimi frame.
Horrible migrants are killing Europe, says horrible migrant arriving in Europe
The premiers and I are united. With a changing global landscape, we’re working together to secure new trade deals and build a stronger, more resilient Canada.
I've seen enough to call it: If we don't roll out covid vaccines for 50+ here in the next boosters, and if there's not good uptake, we're going to see an even sharper uptick in mortality for 50-75 year olds. Bookmark this. Come back and check it a year from now.
Paramount axed Colbert report because Trump didn’t like it, they give $1.5 billion to South Park, who- literally the next day- go after him 10x harder than Colbert ever has. Genius.
I hope so! Bruce was way behind for so long but once the campaign started his signs were everywhere as opposed to PP, never saw so few especially in our neighborhood. He didn’t bother to step into the riding he was so focused on being PM.
For those who need to hear it today: Trying to not catch Covid, and trying to not spread Covid, is exactly the right thing to do.
Eat the bread you don't want to end up like Colbert
"The after-effects of COVID-19 may be affecting us more than we realize and report. Suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection generally leaves physiological rather than symptomatic after-effects." No kidding. 😕

Hot tip I learned—shop at a Dollar Store or other discount stores (with cookies active) before you buy airline tickets with Delta Airlines (soon to start individualized surveillance pricing). Using incognito mode may not help much because Delta knows who you are as a passenger.
