Sharing a tool I made, Linetime, and my workflow for bulk geotagging photos for iNaturalist.

Time to repost one of my favorite maps: all 22 lots in Somerville, MA that legally conform with contemporary zoning (as of ~2016)

The two closest stops in New York City are just 40 meters apart from each other: WILSON AV/GREENE AV and WILSON AV/BLEECKER ST on the B60 southbound. You can see both the stops in this Street View image.

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? MAMDANI: I've spoken about-- TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons

In the UK this week? Join Bellingcat contributor Dr. Ollie Ballinger at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social for a talk this Friday as he unpacks our investigations into, and the open source tools we built to track suspicious ships operating in international waters. events.bl.uk/events/onlin...

FYI if you call Schumer's DC office (202-224-6542), press 2, and then press 1, you can talk to an actual staffer

It makes you feel like the housing crisis is a feature, not a bug, perpetuated by the property owners at the helms of our cities.

(explaining an american car to a european) yeah so imagine if you were sitting in the back seat while driving,

Zohran Mamdani was the first mayoral candidate and Democratic official to stand up to the Trump administration over the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, which he saw as a violation of the First Amendment.

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

Which photo editor at the New York Times decided to go with this glamour shot?

I'm still seeing significant GPS interference near Venezuela. gpsjam.org?lat=10.60659...

Does anyone know where this detailed demographic/voter reg turnout data comes from? I can’t find it on the BOE website.

At some point, the reliance on these euphemisms becomes a kind of propaganda or acquiescence.

Is that a wooden katana? Is that LAPD standard issue? Why are they beating people waiting in line to get into a bar?

LAPD on horses charge at and beat guests standing in line to the Short Stop in Echo Park. @shoton35mm.bsky.social

I first started mapping GPS jamming in case it was an early warning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I hope it's not a sign of some mad Trumpian attack on Venezuela.

The data clearly shows Brooklyn voters are the most motivated by Halloween I Voted! stickers.

If you aren't paying attention to what is happening in Illinois/Chicago, you're missing out on Bovino and federal agents using tear gas, pepper balls, and force against the people. Check out our investigation alongside @evidentmedia.org

Recent GPS interference near Venezuela and Trinidad, per GPSJAM, as noticed by a Bellingcat workshop participant. I believe this is a recent development for the area. CC @lemonodor.bsky.social

The housing shortage in New York City is killing people.

#Jamaica needs our support more than ever right now and, never ones to shy away from self-reliance, they’ve set up an officially sanctioned website for recovery donations. The footage of Hurricane Melissa’s destruction in St. Elizabeth coming in from my family is HARROWING. supportjamaica.gov.jm

If you want to try your own queries in PIMINTO, my geospatial AI search tool, now you can: piminto.obliscence.com. There are some pretty neat features that I didn't include in the demo video, including a third way to query besides text and images. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjH0...

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.

He's still got it, folks.

What percentage of politicians in your country are still relying on this site as a primary means of public communication? It feels slightly maddening that this isn't being treated as an extremely urgent problem.

I'm excited but a bit sad to announce that I've left Bellingcat to start a nonprofit investigative outlet focused on the far-right. We're called Decoherence Media, and we're launching today.

" That whole ordeal - being in a prison, no phone call, no lawyer, no shower - that entire situation threw me for a loop. It wasn't just the arrest itself. ... I mean, before all this happened, I didn't know that federal officials were basically untouchable." www.npr.org/2025/10/24/n...

Apparently as much as $2m for the mailers alone! www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

The New York City Council's seemingly illegal electioneering advertising campaign is still live. Now with over 300,000 impressions on Facebook and Instagram. Early voting starts tomorrow.

Virulent anti-Mamdani push poll combines questions about his actual positions (housing affordability, millionaire tax) with Islamophobic questions implying that he supports "making halal mandatory in all city restaurants" and investigating "Israel's role in 9/11" (via @jccoltin.bsky.social)

Why does the graphic on this poster say "stochastiaica polite"? Why does the whole thing look like this? Why does this poster exist at this specific intersection?

Would be interesting to know who is in charge of the California Highway Patrol.

New satellite images show the scale of demolition that has occurred on the East Wing of the White House in less than a month.

What does "appear to show" mean? Why use one clear word like "shows" when you can murder the English language this way? The image is clear. It shows something.

@council.nyc.gov is blatantly violating the City Charter's prohibition on using government resources for electioneering with their mailers and social media posts opposing pro-housing measures 2-4. Chapter 49, §1136.1: there is no ambiguity about how illegal this is. www.nyccfb.info/law/charter/...
