Yes. I think it's absolutely fantastic that in a time of national crisis an MP - who is a qualified pharmacist - has stepped up to the mark.

Presumably you are unhappy that Winston Churchill drew a Colonel's salary (very briefly) in WW1.
Fascinating fact. Around a third of parliamentarians were in uniform by 1915. 24 serving and former MPs died on active service.
I was brought up believing it was just Winston... but he was hardly there. I shall now wait patiently for the "we all knew this already" lot #FakeHistory

This #archaeology thread gives a behind-the-scenes look at the new @discovery show “Hunting Atlantis” hosted by @stelpavlou & @jessphoenix2018

I present findings based on years of interdisciplinary research into the archaeological and historical context around Atlantis
/1
The secrets presented in this thread will anger a large swath of people

They’ve already begun trolling me and other scholars in my cabal after we first spoke up about #Atlantis

BUT I WILL NOT BE SILENCED

the truth will prevail

We all know the story of Atlantis. It’s been popularized, retold, and adapted in movies, on TV, and in comic books

But the true history is still shocking. It’s tinged by violence and hatred and is part of our own 21st century phenomenon of rampant conspiracy theories

The Big Lie About ‘Russian’ ‘Hacking’ theepochtimes.com/the-big-lie-ab… via @epochtimes
@EpochTimes Nearly three years have passed, however, and no one has produced forensic evidence of a DNC “hack” by “the Russians”—and that includes special counsel Robert Mueller, whose 2018 indictment of a dozen or so Russians presents zero evidence to support his accusations.
@EpochTimes Not even the FBI discovered evidence of any hack at the DNC because, in part, the nation’s federal law enforcement body never examined the DNC’s computer servers.

WTF is wrong with people... This super viral thread is word-for-word plagiarism of a two decade old essay (that's mostly been debunked: snopes.com/fact-check/rai…)

Scholars with large followings are sharing this

Do some due diligence! Share Twitter threads based on real research
If you want to share a fun thread based on real scholarly research, share this one on my PhD research into ancient chickens... it's fun, it has pictures of chickens, and it's based on hours and hours of actual research

Or if you just want something silly, but still based on hours and hours of actual research for my honors thesis. Try this thread on ancient use of marijuana. Bonus, it's got some fun gifs

This meme is completely absurd. If it was turned in as an answer in my class it'd get a 6%. And that's rounding up, it's really a 5.55555555%

Let's walk through it:
1. Open borders? Wtf. There were extensive border fortifications throughout much of the Empire. But the idea of closed borders is a modern concept. The Roman empires borders never controlled immigration.
3. Corrupt politicians: Aren't all politicians corrupt? From the first Roman Kings thru the senators thru all emperors, Roman politicians were mostly corrupt.

@DineshDSouza I wrote a book detailing southern Dems support for segregation and repeatedly noted that obvious fact on Twitter.

You, meanwhile, invented a fake Dixiecrat senator and implied that politicians who died in the 1940s and 1950s were still Democrats in the 1960s. That's #FakeHistory
@DineshDSouza If I'm trying to hide the Democrats' racist past as the defenders of segregation, I'm really doing a horrible job.

Here are just a few quick samples from my book.
@DineshDSouza When historians say you're a horrible liar, what they mean is that you're horrible at lying.

Like when you claimed "progressive textbooks" were hiding the "secret" about Democratic support for segregation. All these ones do:

While Trump runs down the straightup Hitler rhetoric about "preserving & protecting Western Civilization," bloated with "America First" chauvinism... #FreeYourself from the Great Tautological Fallacy. #thread #FreeYourMind #TrumpInAsia
From childhood we’re indoctrinated with the notion that America is a Shining Light of Freedom & the President of the U.S. is the Leader of the “Free World.” #thread #FakeHistory #FakeNews
Is the U.S. a Shining Light of Freedom when millions of women are battered and huge numbers are raped every year? Is this a Shining Light to the world?? #MeToo #YesAllWomen
