I’m a Canadian officially involved in American science politics. I feel oddly honored.

More on my unnecessarily deep dive into Commonwealth v. Russ. This time with more maps. Do you like maps? I like maps.

It all started with a Twitter account, some ChatGPT quotes, and someone looking for a good time. This is the breakdown of how a guy convinced Rolling Stone he was the rep for a suddenly popular AI band, Velvet Sundown. www.bullshithunting.com/p/a-free-osi...

Velvet Sundown has drawn a lot of attention in a very short period of time. One internet trickster decided to squat on their social media, and convinced dozens of journalists he was the real deal.

Following the Velvet Sundown AI music drama? Turns out- the news media has been duped. www.bullshithunting.com/p/a-free-osi...

📚 Cults, books, and OSINT. In his latest, @mjbanias.bsky.social‬ shows how open-source tools, and 𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗧 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, helped trace the hidden power behind a cult’s publishing empire — from a single copyright page to a multi-million dollar network. 🌐 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱: substack.com/home/post/p-...

It’s funny that in the Musk/Trump drama, I can’t root for anyone. I hate both of these idiots.

I wrote another post that hopefully teaches you all something cool. Or, just enjoy the Reading Rainbow references.

Holy! @justinseitz.bsky.social and @kennedycatherine.bsky.social - we’re way better than Deloitte. Can we start charging Deloitte prices please!?

Nailed it.

I’m looking for your best cryptid and monster stories. Seen something weird out there? I want to talk to you!

Hot. AF.

The slippery slope of OSINT morality.

Well well well… just a bunch of Russian assets working in the highest ranks of the US government.

Another week calls for another episode of the "Debrief Weekly Report" #podcast! This week @mjbanias.bsky.social joins me in discussing #robots, #cleanenergy and screen detoxing. It's all here and more! thedebrief.org/hydrogen-min... @stephgerk.bsky.social

Well, this isn’t good. apple.news/A6qVKTph6QKa...

I assumed the current US administration was going to be an existential threat. But not this existential… www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I wrote a thing.

My latest piece on AI and that it’s actually really good at scamming you. thedebrief.org/ai-phishing-...

Spent a day in LA talking about secret Soviet technology, CIA projects, and the Cold War. And oddly enough, a weird zeppelin ghost story made it into the mix.

I’m in Los Angeles at Warner Brothers. This is fun.

For all you #OSINT nerds who got your fancy tools and Pythons… sometimes you just got to find the people with the tea, and have em spill it. www.bullshithunting.com/p/a-free-osi...

You gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

This meme genuinely made my day.

Relax into your weekend with tales of premature burials and demons sent to deal with the naughty kids. www.bullshithunting.com/p/for-the-we...

At some points in my week, I very much become alternate universe Lt. Harry Kim from Star Trek: Lower Decks and, as I push the button to destroy all universes, yell, “I’m two pip Harry Fucking Kim and I don’t have to listen to anybody!” I then self immolate into atoms.

“Satanic Panic” level of bottom-of-the-barrel journalism here folks.

And Leisure Guide Sign Up Day in Winnipeg shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember’d; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that signs up his daughters and sons for swimming and skating shall be my brother…

Pretzel!

Adam Driver reading Amazon reviews is my new obsession.

“I only do what I have done I will do better in the morning Afraid of what I might become I will do better in the morning Stuck inside a cycle of opinions Where there's two clear ways And I always take the easy one And I'm always left with the taste in my mouth I will do better in the morning…”

#Manitoba got a mention in Lower Decks! Whoooo! Represent!

Hot.

Twitter died when Elon bought it. Whatever creature it became after was a corrupt zombie-like husk bent on destroying free speech and promoting some neo-fascist oligarchy. So, to sum up, “Fuck Twitter.”

For all my new followers who love #osint- you need to check out this dope Substack. www.bullshithunting.com Shout out to @kennedycatherine.bsky.social, @justinseitz.bsky.social, and @anyuse.bsky.social. Essential follows here!

It’s my cure for depression. Ramen is life. And… it is also death.

Is it bad that I identify most with Laszlo from “What We Do in the Shadows?” He says what I think. All the time.

For all my #osint peeps- I used a video game to track someone. Here’s a taste…

The song “Letting Go” by Angie McMahon has become my new comfort song that prevents me from losing my mind on the regular. It’s like a safe warm emotional blanket, but angry and made of piss and vinegar.

So do I delete my Twitter account or just leave it be and let it rot? What is everyone doing?

It’s been a while Bluesky. Twitter sucks now. I guess I’ll stay here!

Will artificial intelligence be the new geopolitical kingmaker? Experts say it’s getting damn close. Check out my latest article at The Debrief. thedebrief.org/the-ai-arms-...

I need to use this app more.

This is CounterCloud, the autonomous AI powered disinformation system. https://thedebrief.org/countercloud-ai-disinformation/

This is a solid resource. 10/10. Will follow.
