.@SheffCouncil this dead tree was reported to you several months ago. Today it has fallen down. This road has primary school on it and every day hundreds of children walk down this footpath. Very lucky it didn't fall on a child.

Here’s one of the affected employees, who had pushed back on Musk’s tweets blaming performance issues on Twitter’s architecture. “One of the absolute best engineers we had,” one employee tells me. "A legend in her area of expertise.”
My God. The manager that tries so hard to look like they know what they're talking about, but inadvertently reveals they're clueless. Except they don't normally publish it to millions of people.

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night. An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”

It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company. I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects. I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars. Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy." 🧵

1/ When @SuellaBraverman took office she would be briefed on the fact that one in six terror convicts in the UK is far-right. The core ideology driving them is fear that "invasion" by migrants is a form of "white genocide". Here's Renaud Camus - Great Replacement - 2012...
