Excited to watch @independentsage.bsky.social's @martinmckee.bsky.social giving evidence at module 7 of the #CovidInquiry today on "Test, trace and isolate". www.youtube.com/@UKCovid-19I...

SCOOP: We've learned at least three individuals closely associated with Palantir or its cofounder Peter Thiel were involved in an online recruiting effort for DOGE late last year. Step inside the recruitment effort that helped build Elon's DOGE army:

Hi everyone! Welcome if you just joined my feed 👋 I thought I'd just introduce myself. I am Dr. Emma L. Briant, a leading academic expert on information warfare and propaganda in a surveillance age. My work was central in exposing #CambridgeAnalytica and I hope to be your guide through this crazy...

Had a marvellous chat about #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda with the amazing @emmalbriant.bsky.social on the #DataRevolution podcast datarevolution.tech/2024/12/emma...

Wow. This post from @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social has been shared 11,300 times & has 60,400 likes on @bsky.app. On X it has just 8 shares & 13 likes (despite a much larger following). Don’t tell me Musk isn’t throttling accounts. Thankfully the forecast going forward is BlueSky’s.

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.

Obvs, 99% of me wants Harris to be a great PoTUS who heals divisions, restores legal norms and leads the US back to prosperity and normality. But I'd be lying if I said there isn't 1% of me that wants her to arrest All The Trumps, shutter X and cancel every Musk or Bezos gov't contract. #DarkKamala

HE MADE IT!

When we complained that Liz Truss' think tank was breaking charity law the Charity Commission refused to act. After we made it very clear we would sue it caved and has agreed to investigate the IEA.
