BREAKING: mass media still totally silent two weeks after UN Secretary General says world's biggest carbon emitters (like the US military, for example) must drastically cut emissions starting now in 2022 if global climate catastrophe is to be averted 🧵
Some advice to Ukrainians:
1. Ukrainian hackers post Russian casualty numbers on Russian official websites and social media accounts. That's not bad. A better idea - post instructions for sabotage. For example, if you burn trackside relay cabinets, it will lead to huge delays🧵
The narrative sounds simple: sanctions will crash the Ruble, isolate Russian economy, create massive inflation and hopefully Russia will cave.
But the chart for EUR vs RUB stubbornly disagrees… What’s happening here? Are sanctions not working? Why?
Important thread (I think)
One of my dad’s best friends called him. He was in Mariupol, a bomb landed near him and blew off his arm, killed the family standing 10 metres next to him. His apartment and everything he owns is destroyed. All he keeps repeating is “I have nothing left.”
When we say Kyiv is winning the information war, far too often we only mean information spaces we inhabit.
Pulling apart the most obvious RU info op to date (as we did using semantic modelling), very clear it is targeting BRICS, Africa, Asia. Not the West really at all.
Dear Journalists & Editors,

Linear roadmaps are misleading without a crystal ball for seeing the future. A roadmap that recognizes the existence of risk as time goes on is more honest. But an effective PM needs to anticipate possible branches, too - and create clear criteria for following each path.
If such a demand would have come from farmers, retd agri babus/CACP babus, who masquerade as champions of farmers, economists, sarkari journos, spin doctors, all would have cried hoarse saying that this will mess up the economy; now you will not hear a word; such is the hypocrisy
