Chat logs acquired by our client, @LogicallyAI show that HART, a group of anti-lockdown activists in the UK, have been engaging in the spread of medical #misinformation. We are proud to stand by their efforts to expose these lies and prevent their spread.

On This Week in History, we noted the 107th anniversary of the beginning of World War 1 and recommended the acclaimed book, “Guns of August,” by Barbara W. Tuchman.

This week in 1914, WWI began. We recommend reading “Guns of August,” where Barbara W. Tuchman details how it all began. The book made such an impact that JFK read it during the Cuban Missile Crisis & it inspired Doris Kern Goodwin to become an historian.

Quote of the Week:

“Never be distracted by people’s glamorous portraits of themselves and their lives; search and dig for what really imprisons them.”
