Such a useful thread this on how to forensically fact check ( or find reputed forensic checkers for you ) as highly polemic news is breaking …
Some quick thoughts on why large parts of the mainstream media keep slipping up on Gaza/Israel (and why it was the same at times with Covid): The main reason is a failure to keep pace with modern news gathering techniques, but there’s more.

On Friday, the sun put on a dazzling show for us. My friend @TheVastReaches and I worked hard over the last 5 days to produce this incredibly detailed 140 megapixel image to illustrate how wonderfully dynamic and beautiful our star can be. Make sure you zoom in!

Friday I captured around 200k images of our sun. I asked my friend @TheVastReaches for help working all the data so we could create an incredibly detailed image of our star, and we're nearly done. Take a look at this close crop of the final 140 MP pic we'll be sharing tomorrow:

Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married or own a house; as if life was some kind of grocery list. But nobody ever asks if you are happy. - Heath Ledger

Dear UK friends, protect your amazing NHS at all costs. The US health system, enclosed by capitalism, is brutal and inhumane. It bankrupts people and leaves those who can’t pay to die.

The death of a political party, filmed up close for the first time ever. It’s like an Attenborough film about extinction. nitter.gq/PravG/status/157731824…

8% over two years, which is a big pay cut, especially for the much lower paid rail workers (as opposed to the better paid train drivers - who are mostly not striking). Dishonest from Shapps, as ever.
I've written to Mick Lynch to urge him to put Network Rail's fair 8% pay rise offer to his members. RMT is prolonging these unnecessary strikes which are a kick in the teeth to workers who cannot get to their own jobs.

Amazon Prime to hike price. On 15 Sept, the monthly membership price increases from £7.99 to £8.99, and annual membership from £79 to £95. If you currently pay monthly, and want to keep it, if you can afford switch to annual now, to get next year at £79. Pls share.

Rwanda says it will only accept 200 refugees. The UK has made a down payment of £120,000,000. That’s £600,000 per refugee to Rwanda!

Sunak, Braverman, Zahawi all speak proudly of their parents coming to the UK, building new lives and giving them a good start. Perhaps all PM candidates should declare if their parents would have been allowed to come to UK as they did if this Govt’s laws had been in place.

I’ll be honest. I did not think our country had produced a man more stupid than the burglar I once prosecuted who posted selfies of him committing the burglary on his own Facebook account. I was wrong.

When you hear Rishi Sunak propose a £200 *loan* as a solution for households facing energy bills rocketing by £693, remember: He's the richest MP, who last night in Parliament pushed through a tax cut for bankers worth £1,000,000,000 a year. Sunak's on their side, not yours.
