French bigots love Napoleon Bonaparte, even though he was a migrant who spoke French with a thick accent, fought in Syria after proclaiming himself a defender of Islam in Egypt, and returned from the Middle East to take over France. #Napoleon #Napoleone

Napoleon had a far-reaching influence on France, Europe and the world. He gave us the Napoleonic Code and traffic on the right side of the road. He also killed the French revolution, crowned himself emperor and reinstated slavery in France's Caribbean colonies. #Napoleone

Happy birthday to the @guardian, which is 200 years old. It is one of the greatest newspapers in the English-speaking world, despite occasional missteps. Having been an avid reader for years, I am proud to have contributed over 200 OpEds to the newspaper. theguardian.com/profile/khale… pic.twitter.com/S7YEvaBKmW

☕️ And wait till Salvini learns that Italians once regarded coffee as the devil's brew because it came from Muslim lands. 👹 👠👔 Or that the founding father of European fashion was not an Italian but an Arab. twitter.com/The_NewArab/st…

I recall 'The Unexplained' and its mysterious stories of UFO sightings I read as a child. But the adult me views these with scepticism. Still, some flying objects remain unidentified. An informative read about the real-world X-Files. newyorker.com/magazine/2021/… Via @NewYorker

Despite record sales of €44 billion, Amazon Luxembourg, the low-tax haven through which its European revenues are channelled, claims to have made a loss of €1.2 billion. Amazon is taking the piss with its tax avoidance. Boycott it. theguardian.com/technology/20… Via @GeorgeMonbiot
