Even across the Atlantic I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing and how the news came through. In my office in Sheffield UK. All work stopped. Phones started ringing with people saying have you seen what is happening. No more work was done that day .

FUN FACT: On 10/22/12 Trump said gas was at “crazy levels” and Obama should be fired. Gas that day: $3.69. Gas prices today: $4.22. If $3.69 was a firing offense, what’s $4.22?

Too few realize this, but Russia occupies less Ukrainian territory today than in March 2022. Control dropped from about 28% of Ukraine down to 20%. That is a clear failure by any metric

I think the general consensus of people around the world is that Americans can get fooled by a con man once, but to return him to power a 2nd time after having seen his corruption, incompetence, ignorance, & buffoonery, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s the American people.

Where are the articles reflecting on the media's failures? Or any honest attempt to fill gaps in the reporting? Why has no mainstream outlet followed up on newly unearthed facts about the marathons, reported first by @bylinetimes.bsky.social & @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social & now Emma Monk? 8/

No journalist looked for evidence: of his marathons. Of his scholarly impact. This is what Professor Jason Stanley discovered when he went looking, that if you look at the available metrics: "Arday's impact is easily comparable to the leading scholars in his academic field." 6/

Yet TODAY, the Times can publish a piece today, citing the fraudulent marathons that Arday ran "on a broken leg", a claim he never made. It was a hairline fracture *that was reported at the time*. And the headline of the piece? You cannot make this stuff up. 5/

The fact that we as humans drive this by clicking is also a factor. In Ireland recently a fatal motorway crash was caused by 4 teenage boys joyriding the wrong way down a motorway whilst streaming it for clicks, is fed from the same animalistic thrill of the chase nature. No filters where clicks are

There is so much more to say. Some of it here. We cannot let this lie. It's not politics. It's not ideology. It's not a culture war. It's a question of basic humanity. A man is dead. And he should be alive. And maybe he still would be. If it wasn't for us. ENDS

And that's not to even go into the fact that Jason Arday was autistic. That a world-leading expert in autism Simon Baron-Cohen had publicly identified him as a suicide risk. This from Will Self - who has two autistic children - is essential reading. 10/

Here's Jason Arday's death - and the media's role in it - trending on social media, again. And yet it's *nowhere* in the mainstream media today. It's "fallen" out of the news cycle in the same way that Russian scientists "fall" out of windows. 🔗

You are right, and people in UK still threw street parties spontaneously when she died. Across the ‘world’ people will celebrate when Trump dies. He has however ignited a previously dormant thread of hatred, fear and power greed that was clearly very close to the surface in many cultures.

So, Mr. Tiny hands claims that there are 1,700 known Iranian sleeper cells in the us. So, Why is ICE wasting time, money, & resources to round up nannies, farm workers, gardeners, daycare workers etc? B/c it wasn't about stopping illegal immigration but about using a fear tactic to stay in power.

Attack a woman by attributing to her the misdeed of men. Classic. That's also why the only person in jail in the Epstein scandal is a woman. Or why of all the corrupt, inept members of his administration, Trump has only fired women.
