Damn @jackmurphyrgr.bsky.social, a damn fine lead that peaked my interest immediately. Going to subscribe so I can read.

A little mall shooting in my neck of the woods, thanks jeezus we had Mexican Spider-Man there to throw a bowling ball through a window. A few people injured but thankfully no deaths. www.instagram.com/reel/DRoHVrA...

I’ve worked on thousands of criminal cases in my lifetime and I’ve worked on lots of shooting cases. Never seen anything like this. Leaving evidence in in a garbage bin from crime scene does not seem like best practices. It’s not a “who done it?” case, but this still feels sloppy. #DCshooting

I feel terrible, I read @courtwatch.bsky.social , been a subscriber for a while, always love their pieces/info and I thought it was paid...turns out it wasn't. Doesn't cost much and the sub keeps them going and cranking out the good stuff. Sub here: www.courtwatch.news/subscribe?re...

I think the Mamdani visit to the Oval Office yesterday has broken Stephen Miller. Miller was seen in the Oval Office this morning:

Is there a reason that both Nuzzi and Lizza can’t both just fuck all the way off? There are thousands of ethical and talented journalists out there but these two elitist fucks seem to just fail upwards. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Love this! I’ll have to drop in and check it out. @giancarlofiorella.bsky.social What games you playing?

This Saturday, November 22 I'll be streaming a 12-hour gaming session to raise funds for Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children via @extralife4kids.bsky.social! That's right: I'll be playing video games from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST. Come join and donate for a good cause! www.twitch.tv/gianfiorel

Have you seen our viral new database? COURIER created an easy way for you to search all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. (Note: Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.)

Hey, friends, we've just published a video this week that might interest you and your audiences. Feel free to amplify in any way. It's also available on all other major platforms: bsky.app/profile/free...

I did not know that they sold loose button containers in bulk. Kinda cool.

God damn you @theonion.com God damn you and your humor that hits so fucking close to home!

Benn Jordan @bennjordan.bsky.social doing the lord’s (or insert your preferred imaginary deity here) work out there! LPR data has always been something I’m most worried about and this piece has got me even more concerned. It’s great to be informed but…damn it all! youtube.com/watch?v=uB0g...

Ah yes illegal immigrants, famously known for their unparalleled ability to get mortgages and buy real estate.

Bellingcat has been named an undesirable organisation in Russia because of our reporting on the country dating back to the downing of MH17 in 2014 by Russian-backed forces. We will continue to report accurately on Russia and will not be intimidated by disinformation and false accusations.

Thank God with all the shit that’s happening in the country right now that this story made it to the CBS News feed. I feel informed.

This image really is the gift that keeps on giving 🤗

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

#PublicDefender in San Francisco getting it done!!! Excellent work, I know the frustration of trying to serve some of these leadership types in tech. 🕵️‍♂️ www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

I logged back into my dormant Twitter account just to like this video 🤣 We have a lot of ups and downs but one thing remains true, I ❤️ California.

Hey everyone! Trumps new health are plan just dropped! Instead of suffering like the rest of the schmucks with shitty healthcare, you can message the President on Twitter for premiere concierge service! www.cnn.com/2025/11/02/p...

What could go wrong? Erik Prince and his cronies getting contracts to track down brown folk on American soil. theintercept.com/2025/10/31/i...

One of the benefits of being a subscriber to indicator.media is the excellent training sessions offered by @craigsilverman.bsky.social. They also have a great growing collection of investigator guides that Craig also seems to update with new information as it is developed. Good bang for your buck!

I am definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, but my IQ dropped immediately after listening to the nonsense coming out of Kevin O’Leary’s face on @cnn.com. I’m sure we’ll have Russia shaking in their boots, knowing we might have robots that will come into their towns. 🤣

This was a joy to watch. I mean the irony that it came from the Cuban diplomat made it ever so sweeter for me 🤗

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I love this. The US Government can’t get its shit together to help the American people (you know, everyone not involved in politics or the military) but regular folks, people struggling themselves, are stepping up to help feed families. #SanJose #SNAP #Benefits www.mercurynews.com/2025/10/28/b...

Can't imagine going through life as miserable as this dude. Also, whoever he is, the odds are I knew him at Columbia ten years ago.

Now one of my favorite Effin Birds:

Come on all you Mangione fangirl fuckheads! Make some noise for justice why don't you?

Love em or hate em, this is some good stuff. I hope they actually get into the hands of those that have been targeted or are likely targets.

I love me a good newsletter, especially one jam packed with open source investigation goodness. Nicely done @bendobrown.bsky.social 🕵🏽‍♂️

Habeas corpus you say? Loved him, he was a decent fellow whose only downfall was his regular tardiness, suspending him was necessary to show him there are no freebies in this administration.

President Bone Spurs has the audacity to weigh in on folks that served in Vietnam. 😑

Thank God our troops have once again put themselves in a space to protect us from these…umm…this man in a chicken costume. 🐥🐤🐔 #Merica #RedWhite&Blue

I just had a visceral flashback to the worst desi people I went to undergrad with ☹️

Smuggling routes, illegal fishing operations, and shadow fleets. There’s loads going on at sea. Try to track some ships yourself, this month in the Bellingcat Open Source Challenge. Find the exercises, created by our volunteer @tomi-mcc.bsky.social, here: challenge.bellingcat.com

Nothing like going into the Doctor”s office to have him break both of your legs, then say, “Don’t worry, I’m going to fix you right up!” 🥸🤡 @scrippsnews.bsky.social

I wrote about how vicarious trauma can find you when you least expect it, through two experiences that I've had while working with images as an open source researcher. Neither were graphic. Both had a serious impact on me. giancarlofiorella.com/2025/10/04/w...

This motherfucker. Good lordy.

His use of PCR sparked a movement that has freed thousands of wrongfully convicted people. Dr. Blake’s testing alone helped to exonerate more than 50, including several sentenced to death. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/s...

It’s strange. As an investigator, breached data is an invaluable tool. As a citizen, it is frustrating to see my info out in the open. What’s more frustrating is how the companies that are supposed to protect our data try to make it up to us for allowing our data to be breached. 1/2

What can you say, this man has his finger on the pulse of what Americans want.
