@gascoignep @RoryStewartUK Did you bother to read the thread?

Is this the image of Jesus?

There's a lot of talk about the Shroud of Turin lately, so let's break down the evidence.

Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk's X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. Produced by Catherine Karelli, Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jake Horton. Graphics by Jacqueline Galvin.

@toobaffled @dastrapool Stick to @NaomiAKlein for sanity. Doppelgänger is a very good book to understand the lure of conspiracy wormholes

Walthamstow tonight.

Will you retweet @elonmusk?
