Lyme disease is ancient

It's been found in 3,000 year old mummies

Not lab made

More nonsense from the US Health Secretary

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.

There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."

The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.

​There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.

There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.

It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.

​That needs to change. And fast.

Hmmm… who to believe… Andy Burnham or the compulsive liar who got sacked twice for lying, lied to Parliament, lied to The Queen, cheated on two wives and ignored the Ministerial Code. Tricky one.

If a white person born in Australia can be Australian without Aboriginal ancestry, and a white person born in America can be American without Native American ancestry, why can't a Black person born in England be English without Anglo-Saxon ancestry?

With Liverpool, Chelsea and Man United struggling, is it only Brighton who can stop Arsenal winning the league?

[Alf @seagulllass]

@Squawka @Brightonian_ And to think some #bhafc fans wanted Hurzeler gone! 🤯 #keepthefaith

[FK Kauno Žalgiris @FKKaunoZalgiris]

Well, it looks like they’re pretty good 🤔

Next week we will make our debut in @Conf_League league phase with away match against @BHAFC ⚽️

[Alf @seagulllass]

@QuintusOrigen @JimmyMu35984013 ‘Zero fanbase outside Brighton’? You have no idea what you are talking about. Supporters around 13 mill with yes, the highest % being local but also global interest:
• United Kingdom: 71%
• United States: 10%
• Rest of the World: 7%
• Indonesia: 6.9%
• Brazil: 5.1%

[Alf @seagulllass]

@kevymartins @JimmyMu35984013 No we don’t. We do want to compete for titles and trophies but, playing by the rules takes time, patience and an amazing chairman and board who genuinely love the club.

[Alf @seagulllass]

#bhafc Love this!

[Judge Red MUFC @Judge_Red_mufc]

If City are removed from the equation it puts Brighton in a position where they could become a regular in the CL places. That removes pressure to sell and establishes them as an elite. That changes the perception of the club to the outside world. They already have a great infrastructure.

They have the ambition to turn up at any big club and take them on toe to toe. We hate coming up against Brighton. They have ambition and haven’t reached their ceiling if they even have one.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Amazing it has to be said again, but yes Hitler was the bad guy in World War 2

If any of your kids grows up not being clear about that, you've completely failed to educate them

[Alf @seagulllass]

@KieranMaguire Yes, apparently it is.

September: An excellent month for the Seagulls. #BHAFC

▪️Manager of the Month: Fabian Hurzeler
▪️Player of the Month: Pascal Groß
▪️Goal of the Month: Lewis Dunk

Brighton topped almost everything… except the sprint table!

▪️Possession: 64.8%
▪️Shots on target per 90: 5.7
▪️Big chances: 22
▪️Possession won in the final third: 7.2 per 90
▪️League-high: 16 goals

Yet the Seagulls' physical data places them 16th in the division for sprints per 90 (97), suggesting their early-season success is built more on control and positional efficiency than sprint volume.
