Always nice when your work is appreciated 😳

@eliothiggins.bsky.social @bellingcat.com I never thought I'd see Bellingcat research skills being used to expose a toxic estate agent

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

Last year I found a TikTok account invading people's homes to spread hate against immigrants. With a little bit of OSINT & a lot of legwork @londoncentric.media and I went looking for its owner. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

🔴How Neo-Nazis Posing as ‘Ordinary Parents’ Embedded Themselves in Anti-Immigrant Protests A year long investigation by Katherine Denkinson exposes the Neo-Nazi and far-right extremists operating openly inside anti-immigration protests bylinetimes.com/2026/01/19/h...

🔴 NEW: Who funds the Free Speech Union? Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. We can reveal that its funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians, and Tufton Street insiders. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/who-funds-...

Appeasing a tantrum with sweets doesn't convince your child to behave. It teaches them that louder screams = more sweets. news.sky.com/story/venezu...

This is really interesting. Study looking at first-episode psychosis as "embodied emotion".

There are multiple Right wing voices on X claiming that AI bikinis 'aren't that bad' because "you can do it in Photoshop anyway". It's all part of the party line that agrees 'boys will be boys' (unless they're immigrants). bylinetimes.com/2025/08/05/t...

Post a pic of where you saw your first concert & the band or artist.

A WIRED review of outputs hosted on Grok’s official website shows it’s being used to create violent sexual images and videos, as well as content that includes apparent minors.

Should the UK Govt ban an entire social media platform? No, but if Musk refuses to safeguard women & children from explicit AI he is leaving them few choices. 5yrs ago I reported on their CSAM problem & it seems little has changed but the loopholes. bylinetimes.com/2021/04/07/a...

FBI have now frozen out Minnesotan independent investigators looking into the killing of Renee Good in order to run it themselves. Dictatorship in full-swing 😔https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/live-updates-woman-fatally-shot-ice-agent-identified-us-citizen-mother-rcna252927

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Still not heard me talking about my book and all things incel? Tune into Caroline Densley's show on BBC Radio Devon at around 11am to hear about the writing process, my motivation, and what we need to be doing for our sons. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... www.aurorametro.com/product/ince...

French Foreign Ministry: “The removal of Maduro from power and the violation of sovereignty constitute a serious act of aggression against the dignity of the Venezuelan people and their right to determine their own future.

FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice? TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision

This is the last Caturday of the year. Only cat pics are allowed in this Starter Pack (except for the pretty dog in the middle). 😂 If you have a cat in your profile pic and you want in, let me know in the comments. 😁

The same people who bemoan teaching boys about misogyny will be noticeable in their silence re this horrendous crime. Victims don't need their selective "support". They need a system which recognises this behaviour starts young & challenges it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Holy shit, was googling around to find out if this could possibly be real and came across this Rolling Stone June 2023 story about the EXISTENCE of this letter, but the content wasn’t known — until now www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Because it’s not just Bari Weiss’ CBS asking this question—in the last few months, I’ve been approached by half a dozen different shows looking to ‘debate’ the same topic. I even got a request from NPR-distributed “Open to Debate” to see if I’d weigh in on “Has Feminism Hurt Women?” NPR!

Even Stalin wasn't this unsubtle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The reaction of the US president to the death of the Reiners. The most recent info on the case says only that their son is in custody. If a random guy on the bus started talking like this, people would be deeply concerned...

The hard/far right are all about protecting women & girls. So why are they resistant to the govt's plan to target boys as part of their anti-VAWG strategy? My book explores this and other related issues in depth & is out now. #endvawg

Telegraph having a normal one. My new book dedicates an entire chapter to the role of the press in fuelling the fire of online misogyny in gaming spaces. The real world community is far more inclusive than these folks want you to believe.

If I hadn't been told this was from a university, I'd have guessed it was written by a 13-ish yr old kid. That TPUSA think it's an exemplar says a lot about how smart they want their followers to be.

A snippet of the talk I gave at last night's book launch. #16daysofactivism #mensmentalhealth

"you're going home in a Yorkshire ambulance!"

Reading up on old Irish cats and really liking the names (from brehonacademy.org/purring-thro...) Also like this bit "cats held a unique legal status that reflects their diverse roles in Irish life, including both practical and symbolic aspects."

Had an excellent evening launching 'Incel'. Big thanks to everyone who came along & bought a copy! Fave reactions were from the women who were pleasantly surprised it "wasn't anti-boy", and who appreciated the focus on solutions. Find out more here: www.aurorametro.com/product/ince...

"We will always be on the side of working people", Farage's 'Letter to the Nation' says today. What he neglects to admit is that Reform plans to cut £300+ billion from the public services that these "working people" rely on every day.

If you're in the Richmond (London) area this evening, we have a few spots left at the Incel book launch. Free tickets are available via the link below to let us know you're coming! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/secret-wom...

X's new transparency feature has exposed many of the platform's influential MAGA personalities as being located outside the US. This is similar to the trend exposed by @kdenkwrites.com in the UK, where foreign 'UK patriot' accounts are even fooling councillors. national.thelead.uk/p/reform-cou...

At their heart, all far right beliefs rely upon conspiracy beliefs. It's unfortunately no surprise that Farage has hinted at them to keep his fans fearful. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oops...The monetisation of "patriotism" by foreign groups is a major issue for most social media platforms: national.thelead.uk/p/reform-cou...

Grew up wanting to be a poet/Kerouac. Spent long enough working in mental health to realise I actually wanted to write in a way that made things better for people.

Ten and a half years in jail for ex-Reform leader Nathan Gill www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

This is really interesting. I’ve spoken to researchers (see link) who have evidence that LLMs counteract conspiracy beliefs in lab conditions, but it seems they work both ways. national.thelead.uk/p/inside-the...

✨Some of the great reviews for ‘Incel- The Weaponisation of Misogyny’, out now from most bookshops! ✨

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Megyn Kelly’s comments on Epstein are really interesting. It’s an unfortunately common reaction & I think a lot of it links to the fetishisation of teen girls. It’s partly why ‘older’ victims find it so hard to be believed.
