I know a lot of you wanted a technical breakdown of this meme so here it is!

I don't think you will find this level of detail anywhere else so keep reading if you don't want to miss out.

Thread 1) @elonmusk is promoting racist misinformation in the wake of the #allentx shootings. There are a number of examples but I want to focus on this graph, which has been shared and liked hundreds of thousands of times. What's the story behind it, and why is it misleading?

My initial review of Biggar’s ‘Coloniaism’ now published. It won’t get the attention of reviews from his friends in the right wing press but please disseminate as widely as possible? @Sathnam @kenanmalik @DalrympleWill https://t.co/IGFKfQOrps

I've debated for a long time about being public with this, bc it's heavy & I still haven't come to terms with it. But I have a rare pre-COVID datapoint so will do it, hoping it helps people:

Right before I got COVID, I did neuro testing to see if I had ADHD.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

Recently I wrote a piece about Tory MS Janet Finch-Saunders' incredibly high staff turnover.

One former staffer said they'd to ask permission to go to the loo.

This story has moved on quite a bit since then.

This is well worth your time.

Not catching a common virus for a year or 2, or 5, does not make you respond to it like an immunosuppressed person the next time you catch it. Avoiding pathogens doesn’t damage your immune system.

Deleted my earlier post, as I wanted to correct it & do a a detailed debunk. It took me six reads to even start to understand what the authors had done, because the methodology makes little to no sense in many ways. Here goes- 🧵

What do Financial Times readers think of the mini-budget? This is the most-recommended comment on our news story:

The fracking ban will be scrapped on Thursday, as per @benrileysmith, with planning requests for new drilling expected within weeks. Yet this is what new chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng wrote on March 6 👇🏼

I just spoke with a senior employee from Amnesty International.

Their sum-up: “It’s a dark moment for the movement, there’s no other way to put it.”

Also: "We threw a party the Russian state was eager to attend for its own political purposes.”

Why this report really gets it wrong is that Amnesty is basically criticising Ukraine for fighting to try and win the war. The Ukrainian strategy of fighting for their cities has been crucial to their successes so far.

It is somewhat ironic, is it not, that Tory MPs achieved the workplace change they needed by withdrawing their labour.

BREAKING: The heads of MI5 and the @FBI have used an unprecedented joint speech to warn that China is their biggest “game-changing challenge”, with the UK doubling efforts to combat Chinese "activity of concern". 1/
