Since y'all asked nicely, here's my complete history of Robin of Sherwood. One of the finest TV shows ever made. Hugely influential. Most modern cinematic/TV Robin Hood tropes trace back to it.
As Herne would say:
"Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten."

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January
This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.
In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

🎄 On the 4th day of Christmas… “four calling birds” was originally “four colly birds” meaning coal-black i.e. blackbirds✨
So next time you sing the carol, picture the glossy male blackbird with his bright yellow beak and fluting song.

Beautiful to hear the Ukrainian choir at the end of the King’s Speech. As for the speech itself, wouldn’t it be good to hear more of that generous, compassionate and hopeful language in public life?

Most people go into political conversations with their MAGA family ready for a debate.
But debate is the fastest way to push someone deeper into the movement. There is a better way.

A prime example of how the far right can never be appeased. Give them whatever they demand and they’ll bank it, then use it as a new base camp to strike out for more and worse.
