This can happen to anyone anywhere. It may be to a lesser extent but you will find people in all countries who believe in falsehoods usually because they were taught that or like most humans just blame others because it requires no action and is therefore the easiest option.

"America started a war, attacked us. I don't know why. We Russians are so kind and sympathetic." Residents of Karelia, one of Russia's worst regions in terms of quality of life, shared their thoughts about the war in Ukraine. "Why occupiers? Ukraine is very cruel to Russia. Poles and Finns have always hated us. But we haven't done anything bad," they say. 📹: Current Time

From crypto to A.I., the tech sector is pouring millions into super PACS that intimidate politicians into supporting its agenda. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

I have been off Twitter because as a man I call out the 20% who think that women are their possession. Something I believe the owner is. Now you can't even bloke the bots...

Honestly, it makes me sick that these sort of threads still have to be written today, and that we are still where we are. I’m going to the International Society for Respiratory Protection conference next week and look forward to some interesting talks and debates in this area.

Fascinating insight into Google’s comms strategy, including list of private validators, prominent journalists who moonlit as Google validators, even Google’s surveillance of their own worker reactions. 👀 @AlphabetWorkers Google’s spin division is extraordinary!

Woah. Fun. Buried in DOJ adtech antitrust exhibits posted overnight is a highly sensitive summary of Google's monitoring and spinning of the DOJ's search antitrust complaint in 2020 - yes, the landmark case the US DOJ just won. Keep this in mind as you read my thread. /1

@chantellelunt I really don't know who she thinks she is kidding apart from the racists who can not believe their luck.

@JulianChokkattu AI once again shows it's not up to the job and wouldn't pass the basic Photoshop exam. Dismal.

The truly ironic thing is that, during ‘The Long Pause’, the only sound you can hear is the faint hum of the HEPA air filters cleaning the air in the room… …while Dr Ritchie contemplates whether ventilation is only a useful precaution if Covid is airborne. (H/t @Hermione1963)

I think this must be THE most awkward moment of the Covid Inquiry so far. I’ve dubbed it ‘The Long Pause’. I’d love to know what was going on in Dr Ritchie’s head here. I’d like to think she had a moment of reflection of how many lives were lost due to her flawed IPC guidance.

Extraordinary paper on the novel techniques companies use to maintain a social licence.

📢 New study out! @DoriPatay and I attended a corporate affairs conference to gain insights from senior execs into the tactics being used but also their fears. A focus for all presenters was building & protecting a “social license to operate”. tinyurl.com/a3skh4vf 1/5

After Hungary’s 1956 Uprising was crushed by Moscow’s tanks, 200,000 Hungarians became refugees, and the world welcomed them. Today, with no sense of the nation's own history, Hungary's ruling party makes thousands of #Ukraine refugees homeless. hrw.org/the-day-in-hum…

What struck me most about making this programme is just how committed and brilliant our teachers are up and down England to children, and..it's impossible to talk about levelling up Britain without taking seriously the inequalities of race in our country, runnymedetrust.org/blog/many-youn…
