"Misinformation isn’t going to disappear. We’re still going to be here, working against that". A powerful quote from a member of our team in this Guardian interview, reflecting on their work and Meta’s decision to end the third-party fact checking programme in the US.

My marine biologist son Rob has lived on the same island for 7 years, doing painstaking work to improve biodiversity and train local people in conservation. Here’s a new video. Nothing dramatic (he’s not Attenborough and doesn’t have a film crew). Just a healthy coral reef: youtu.be/2wlk-yfYi9Q?...

The most talked-about moment in women’s soccer last year, and indeed for the past several years, wasn’t a goal, nor a piece of skill, nor anything that happened during a match. It was an unwanted kiss given by a then-federation president to one of the game’s biggest stars.

All this talk of how BlueSky is just a liberal comfort zone but over on the other place, former cabinet ministers are getting hyped about a petition to re-run the general election.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

In the past 24 hours, Nancy Mace has tweeted about Trans women in bathrooms over 120 times from her two Twitter accounts. Not 12 times…120 times. Including this incredibly thirsty tag of JK Rowling.

I know it feels so natural to blame this on ‘shitty journalism’, but if more people realised just how dire the journalism industry is right now, they might understand how clickbait has become necessary so important journalism can be funded. I’ve never met a journo who likes these headlines.

Tech analysts in the Observer today are suggesting that X will merge with Trump's Truth Social Obviously it already feels like that's happened in some senses. But a formal merger would solidify X's formal status as an explicitly hard/far-right platform

I really don’t understand this whole ‘stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.
