Didn't they try to label ex-Labour leader, #NigelFarage, as anti-semitic to kill his chances of getting the top job?

Pretty sure #RFK is not in any way #antiSemitic in anyway.

What took many #Bulgaria -ns by surprise was the flood of pro- #Kremlin #narratives over the last year and a half. This #Balkan country - once a close satellite of the #Soviet Union - took a pro-Western course after the fall of communism. But #Moscow ’s influence didn’t go away - and the war in #Ukraine highlighted the strength of pro- #Russian feelings in this #Nato country, prompting questions about its Euro-Atlantic loyalty.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of talking about hypertext with my dear colleagues David Millard, @drchargood and Mark Anderson at the University of Southampton. I'm particularly excited to be working together on a project proposal about #Hypertext #Narratives and #CulturalHeritage. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Two instances raised today by #LockTheGate of attempts to block publication of alternative views to the extractive fossil fuel industry. In NSW, the premier is trying to stop activists from live-streaming protests on Facebook. In QLD, mining company Adani tried to block publication of photos showing Indigenous resistance to the mine. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/23/nsw-push-to-stop-climate-protesters-livestreaming-on-facebook-labelled-profoundly-anti-democratic https://au.news.yahoo.com/hidden-adani-mine-photos-revealed-to-public-by-senators-bold-act-214011900.html #protest #narratives

As it is still #Caturday I'd like to introduce another helper who puts some effort into #TheGlobalJigsaw , besides the boss lady. Meet Zhivko, who was proofreading our episode on #Russia 's propaganda machine in overdrive: '60 minutes became two and a half hours' - we have checked out the #Russian talks shows taking over the TV schedules. Many Russians call their TV set the #zombiebox - has it won the battle of #narratives ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xtvrk

#Spellcheck
I'm looking at #popular #narratives, true, but I wanted mentions of key characters, not minions of key characters. #Charlemagne and Steve Rogers would not be happy to be called #minions.
