@OluwasolafunmiA I’m sorry. This app is hectic, is why. 😩

@RGAMeyer I absolutely detest that I don't see your tweets anymore.😭

What is a Fact-Check Menu, and why do cross-border #journalists need one? Fact-checking investigations causes real tension between partners in different countries. It's why since 2021, I created a Fact-Check Menu and use it when coordinating investigations.

This video is inspired by my upcoming panel at DataHarvest Conference in Belgium, this weekend; I'll tell you more about it later. 😉

@TMehnpaine Always! We have to CARE. No care, no colleague. No colleague, no worker. No worker, no business!!

@RGAMeyer This is great. CARE before business.

A Lighthouse Reports survey showed that the tone of emails can ruin collaborations. So how EXACTLY can we write emails that prove we genuinely care about our colleagues, beyond what we can get from them? A few answers here👇🏾

I made this video because I’ve seen journalists complain about another problem; emails that aren’t ‘businessy’ but shallow, showing no genuine care. Videos are easier for me, so tell me if you prefer these quick takes on solutions #CollaborativeJournalism #InvestigativeJournalism

Just got back from Aldi, guy looking after the self check out says on his headset, ‘yeah I went to watch it last night, been blasting out MJ ever since!’ His colleague on the till turns around and says ‘The Michael Jackson Movie?’ He goes yeah it was so good! He then goes over to auth someone’s till and the customer goes, ‘so the Michael movie was good?’ Staff member says ‘yeah so good mate’ I turn round and say ‘yep I second that, it was amazing! You must watch it’ I kid you not, another customer then goes, ‘they missed out so much! And why did it just end like that, like it was Netflix?’ 😭😭 WE’RE ALL IN ALDI TALKING ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON!! Strangers!!! Brought together by the King of Pop whilst doing our shopping! Do you know how insane but wholesome that is in 2026?!! 🙌🏾🤣 #MichaelMovie

Germany’s police association chief told women to avoid men and the incels can’t take it …because he’s a man 🤷🏽‍♀️

In the words of Momma Ru: the library is open 👇🏾 dw.com/en/avoid-men-g…

Mans literally said the prevention for violence is that women should better "not get into a relationship with a man."  He said choose the bear🤓
