Tate looks like a malevolent mule.
Andrew Tate says “Come arrest me, you think I don’t wipe my phone every night?”, unaware of the large amount of phone metadata collected every time his mobile connects to cellphone towers. Which tower you connect to, who you call, how long the call lasts, etc etc.

Interesting thread on critical thinking being taught in schools so that kids can learn to recognise disinformation and misinformation.
🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
