1. At the onset of the invasion of Ukraine, RTArabic's website had 2x the visitors as panregional state media in the Middle East. Over the past 3 months its popularity waned, and is now domanited by Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, troucing RT's regional offering by 2000%+. Thread. 2.

1. As the 20th anniversary of 9/11 nears, think it’s important to see how a younger generation of al-Qaeda and Islamic State supporters depict Osama bin Laden on social media. Over the past year I collected 150 screenshots doing just that. Here are some learnings, thread. Image 2. A younger generation of Salafi-jihadist supporters online see bin Laden as the ultimate “Sigma” male, quiet but still “Alpha.” He is still in many ways revered, and speaks to a generation that sees him as “based.” These generation z supporters were children in 2001.
