Cool open-source investigative tool I just learned about: alltext.nyc. It lets you search any text found in Google Street View images from 2007 to 2024— graffiti, shop signs, street text, you name it. Just type in what you see, and see what pops up.

ICYMI: on Twitter, an OSINTer ('Vleckie') is being blamed for a US airstrike in Yemen that killed 8 civilians.
in a thread, she'd marked a group of houses as an underground bunker — from satellite imagery alone. those houses (not a bunker) were subject to a US airstrike. 8 innocent people dead.

In Viktor Orbán's Hungary you're perfectly OK organizing neo-Nazi concerts over and over again, even if you're part of a group banned/designated as a terror group in multiple countries
But Pride, let alone protesting a Pride crackdown as an opposition party, gets you banned.

💥Hungary sliding further into authoritarianism: Viktor Orbán’s close ally, Speaker of the House László Kövér, banned the entire liberal Momentum party faction from parliament and fined them €175,000 for protesting Orbán's Pride crackdown—setting a precedent to ban other elected opposition MPs too.

According to their Telegram channel, Africa Corps (Африканский Корпус) is opening new "selection points" (forgive the dodgy Google Translate output) in Kazan, Naberezhnye Chelny, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnodar.
Interestingly enough, the amount of money promised for signing up depends on the place.
