I spoke with @liashoaib of @BusinessInsider about the enduring threat posed by white supremacist active clubs and the accelerationist core of their ideology & goals

🏆 Insider won 4 times at this year's @TheDrum awards for online media.

I'm particularly pleased with the Digital Team of the Year award for our coverage of the invasion of Ukraine, which stretched us like no event before.

[Secunder Kermani @SecKermani]

Just grabbed a word w/ Imran Khan in the Islamabad courtroom. He’s expecting to be arrested in another case even if released in this one

I asked if it’s now an existential battle btwn him & military leadership?

He said, no, “it’s just one man” who’s responsible: the Army Chief

A fascinating look inside Salt Bae's memeable meat empire by @sophiaankel

It looks "gold from the outside," a former bartender at Nusr-Et London told Insider. "But shit from inside."

[Sophia Ankel @sophiaankel]

It’s finally here! I wrote about the meat empire of the Instagram-famous butcher Nusret Gökce, more commonly known as ‘Salt Bae.’

Watch his full interview with RT here, in which he claimed he acted as a spy in Ukraine and had planned to defect all along. https://t.co/wso0Z92rkl

[Gonzalo Lira @GonzaloLira1968]

This is the full piece that aired on RT, about John McIntyre, an American foreign fighter who spent a year in combat for the Zelensky regime, before defecting to Russia. It’s 17 minutes long, but worth the time.

Some observations.

1/5

A US veteran went to fight in Ukraine. Nearly a year later, he had defected to Russia.

His fellow fighters told @bethanymrd and I that he was unstable, incompetent and left behind a trail of chaos.

This is the bizarre story of a Legionnaire gone wild:

[Alia Shoaib @liashoaib]

@MalcolmNance told us that John McIntyre, or Johnny Alabama as he was nicknamed, was “crazy with a capital K.”

Fellow fighters say he got drunk and urinated in an army vehicle, defaced Ukrainian guard posts, and was eventually barred from handling weapons.

Hard to imagine a better first question to ask a Hinge match.

[Insider @thisisinsider]

Volunteer trainers in Ukraine have accused a US volunteer of being an underqualified "war tourist." They allege he improperly trained soldiers and may have endangered lives. The story paints a messy picture of the role of foreign volunteers in Ukraine. ⬇️

It's depressing to consider, but I suspect the demise of skiing in the Alps will prove to be far more consequential to the rich world's awareness of climate change than news that one third of Pakistan is underwater.
