Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.) It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public. 🧵

We got together last weekend to plant around 420 saplings on the scrub land behind Balvonie Street, already owned by residents. They were received from the @WoodlandTrust after Rachel and Pete sent in a successful application through the #QueensGreenCanopy scheme @QGCanopy

First they came for the parody accounts… and I was pretty shocked, because there are actual Nazis on this platform that should probably be dealt with first.

Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero @EdwardTufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing @NASAWebb image. Thanks to the @WWTelescope for making this possible, and @ADavidWeigel. I only wish @NASA and @POTUS had shown the image this way!

Around this time 34 years ago a huge explosion in the North Sea took the lives of 167 men. ❤️Join us in remembering those who died in the #PiperAlpha disaster and spare a thought for the survivors and all the families affected by the tragedy.

You have not been sued for libel. I have. There are many things I have wanted to say in the last 6 weeks of #DeppvHeard But I haven't. Because whatever I say will be used to attack not just me but others too. Because that's how libel works. That's the whole point of it. 1/

In recent weeks, I've often talked with @bbclysedoucet early evening in Kyiv. And I've wanted to know about the beautiful dome that's always behind her. Just now I asked and Lyse's answer captured how this war competes with the rhythm of life as it was. bbc.co.uk/news

Ok. Deep breath. I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in. The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie. 1/
