Encountering a misinformation campaign in real time. The bystander who tackled the gunman at Bondi was identified as Ahmed el Ahmed (link below). But in almost every tweet I saw, there are people claiming the real person is "Edward Crabtree," referencing a website called "The Daily."

I wonder if real Irish filmmakers know that Udárás na Gaeltachta are not only running a competition for “AI filmmaking”, but have decided to name it after “storytelling”. Ffs.

Social media has done a lot of harm but letting people see human suffering directly and without spin is one of its redeeming features.
Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial."
"Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."
