Today is the feast day of St Mungo, also known as Kentigern, the seventh century patron of Glasgow whose miracles are represented on the city's coat of arms. Happy feast day to all Glaswegians wherever you are.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

Not to make light of the editorial failure, but look how far Twitter lies now permeate in to normal discourse. We think we know about the racism but the utter contempt for truth since Musk bought the platform is deliberate & very dangerous. You can’t foment racism with fact checkers in the building.
