The irony - what humanity looks like 2023!
Rescue teams of a tourist submersible carrying 4 millionaire and 1 billionaire went missing during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic, and a rescue teams of a refugee boat carrying 800 poor people looking for a better life for their children.

I’ve been where @Ageinvestigates is. And I know what he must be feeling right now. #BenRobertsSmith #brs
There are no journalists in Australia more fearless, determined, and aggressively accurate than @ageinvestigates. When this case began, I had a strong feeling it wouldn't go the way #benrobertssmith wanted it to.
A lot of media people coming out now with personal experiences of inappropriate behaviour by Rolf Harris. If so many in the industry knew about it for so many years, why was nothing said or done? Why did they keep up the charade that he was just a harmless eccentric. #rolfharris

If you're wondering how much work goes into investigative reporting, these are *only* the interview transcripts for a single article I'm drafting right now for @OCCRP. This isn't even counting the court & company records, open source trawling, etc.

Thank you to everyone for your support and love! I have so many messages coming in that I can't respond...also don't want to spill my champagne 😜 #Teamstormy merch/autograph orders are pouring in, too! Thank you for that as well but allow a few extra days for shipment.

Quite the statement here from the family of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick tonight:
"Every time the pain of that day seems to have ebbed a bit, organizations like Fox rip our wounds wide open again and we are frankly sick of it. Leave us the hell alone..."
So yesterday I posted on @facebook some screenshots of homophobic abuse and death threats I’d received over Mardi Gras weekend.
As a result, apparently I’m the one in breach of community standards and my account has now been restricted. #facebook

As someone who works in TV, I know this to be true. I also know that Lucifer is a generic term for TV executives in general. Indeed, some use it as a collective noun e.g “…the Lucifers met at Peacock Gardens for a succulent Chinese meal where many staff bonings were discussed.”
Here are some of the messages I’ve received on social media over Mardi Gras weekend.
This is the kind of stuff that we still cop daily.
It’s not all rainbows. There’s a long way to go. #worldpride #mardigras
