Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs Fake news travels fast. Post in haste, regret immediately. Two’s company, three’s a crowdsourcing campaign. AI for an eye, an untruth for a truth. Beware of geeks bearing gifs. Caesar’s Wi-Fi must be above suspicion. A scrolling phone gathers no moss. Share and share and like. Don’t feed the troll that bites you. Empty influencers make the most noise. Every blog has its day. Blessed are the content creators. There’s a time and podcast for everything. Do not judge clickbait by its cover. A WhatsApp a day keeps your mother at bay. All’s well that trends well. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to phish and you pheed him for a lifetime. Every cloud has a data centre. Spam tomorrow and spam yesterday – and always spam today. The end justifies the memes. Brian Bilston

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
