Today marks 40 years since the death of #Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. This documentary has been 2 years in the making and features exclusive never-before-seen interviews with those who worked with him directly. This is the man they knew. youtube.com/watch?v=CCc9L6…

You may have seen teens on TikTok filming themselves “speed-running” Scientology buildings—seeing how deep inside they can get before being thrown out. The church has decried these trends as trespassing and harassment. But Scientology is far from denouncing TikTok. Since early 2025, some centers' TikTok accounts have been especially active, pumping out social videos about the church, often using popular songs and trending audio, presenting a more approachable, amiable, and youthful face. According to observers and ex-members, the strategy is not working. “Young people who are not Scientologists really see Scientology as an object of ridicule,” said Tony Ortega, a journalist who’s been covering the church for more than 30 years.

#Scientology’s longtime 'president' Heber Jentzsch died on Oct 30 at 89. We heard the news in January, but we also heard that church leader David Miscavige took the unusual step of writing a tribute to Heber. We were unable to get a copy of it. Until now. tonyortega.substack.com/p/bizarre-scie…

@DrAnnieHickox Thank you. It’s great they’re bringing attention to Scientology, but it’s time the press stop sensationalising and start focusing on survivors’ stories of abuse.

This website visualizes social media as a room with 100 people in it 3 people are producing most of the toxic content Most people assume 43 are producing toxic content, because these 3 are hyperactive Engagement-based ranking amplifies the 3 provocative, high-reaction users. The other 97 quiet voices disappear or self-censor. And the loud minority thinks it's the majority: the more someone posts, the more they believe the public agrees with them! thenoisyroom.com

I was quoted in today’s Daily Mail. What I didn’t expect was for Scientology to outright deny the speed runs are happening here. All you have to do is search social media and you will see the evidence. Hilariously delusional. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” - George Orwell, 1984 Last night at the #AmnestyMediaAwards 2026, @AdrianLester delivered this powerful excerpt from 1984. Two plus two make four, and peaceful protest is a human right. Right now, power is testing the limits of the law. Authoritarianism is advancing deeper into our lives. Journalists are not observers but essential defenders, casting light where laws are twisted, voices are criminalised, and peaceful protest is met with handcuffs rather than accountability.
