We all like to engage with cute animal videos of baby monkeys, little lion cubs… But what if they’re shown in small cages and in boxes, ready for sale? @foeke.bsky.social & contributors @chrisosieck.bsky.social and Darcy White track down a wildlife dealer www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/02...

If you voted Republican, and you care about your country, please act rather than rationalize. Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, money, country, and future, tell your elected officials that you wanted something else.

Nice to see my work being used to question Tulsi Gabbard's suitable as head of DNI. She didn't really have any answers.

Ukrainians are fighting and dying every day so that we can be safe and enjoy the right to say asinine, ignorant, and cowardly things on podcasts.

People often ask me if seeing dead Russians bothers me.

No, it doesn't. At all. Zero percent.

I could not possibly care less of a Russian mercenary dies. They agreed their life is worth a few rubles, and who am I to deny that to them.

If you're new to BlueSky (or even if you're not!) and you have your own website domain, you can change your username here to match that site. Go to settings -> change handle and select "I have my own domain". That's how I'm @ariehkovler.com and not a @$.bsky.social. Also acts as a soft verification.
