@LATChrisGoffard Two .22-caliber bullets did not hit Kennedy in the back, they hit him in the armpit. And Alvin Clark was thoroughly debunked as a witness in 1969. What a lazy article.

@CIA @LAPD They knew if any of those holes were bullet holes, more than eight shots were fired and there was a second gun.

Also declassified yesterday: @CIA's previously-undisclosed 814-page 201 file/dossier on Sirhan; and a memo of a meeting between law enforcement agencies four days after the shooting in which @LAPD claimed numerous photos of bullet holes in the pantry were not caused by bullets.

@CIA documents declassified yesterday show that psychologists within Dr Sidney Gottlieb's Technical Services Division (TSD) created a psychological profile of Sirhan Sirhan within days of the RFK assassination, based on the strange automatic writing found in Sirhan's notebooks.

Amazing to see Jerry Harrison, @THEadrianbelew and Cool Cool Cool play songs from Fear of Music, Remain in Light and Speaking in Tongues in London tonight. An incredible performance. I’ve just written a chapter on My Life in the Bush of Ghosts for a new book on Talking Heads, so this was such a rare chance to see these songs played live, catch them if you can. Drugs, I Zimbra, and the opening tracks of Remain in Light were the standouts for me.

Thank you for the recent and historic RFK assassination document release by @USNatArchives. Can you please work with California State Archives and @NIST to make 3D digital scans of the bullet evidence in the RFK case? The @The_AAFS-led study of the evidence 50 years ago was inconclusive but advances in technology could help us understand more about it today

I spoke to members of the media gathered to preview a new museum at the National Archives in Washington, set to open Oct 23, 2025. NARA is “creating opportunities for visitors to go on a journey through history, so they can appreciate their part in The American Story.”

@AlexisCoe Is this elitist sneering really your best writing? It comes off as desperate attention-seeking

"Over time, their theories appear to have hardened like volcanic glass and, for apparent true believers, were just as impervious to fact."

I'm afraid this is exactly the kind of thing that fuels my best writing: “They understood archives the way toddlers understand taxes: not at all, and mostly through tantrum.”

Pleased to say my new archival feature documentary The Watergate Caper: Richard Nixon and the Death of the American Dream, narrated by Harry Shearer, has been selected for the @Film_London Breakthrough Strand at the London Screenings from June 23-25 filmlondon.org.uk/london-screeni…

@RamAbdu Unforgiveable

“They killed my mother — and before that, my brother. I urge everyone: do not go to the American aid distribution points soaked in blood. This bag only contains 2 empty flour sacks — nothing else — & yet they shot & killed my mother as she tried to get us something to eat today.”
