I, a journalist/writer type, get social media ads suggesting I apply to join the intelligence services on an alarmingly regular basis.
But anyone who has met me would likely agree that I'm too hapless and weird to be a spy. (Or AM I?👀)

Tbh It would be really embarrassing to have a whole infamous spy agency and then be defeated in military operations by a reporter. Zero offense or Bellingcat.
Russian state media are today alleging that a Bellingcat reporter was involved in an attempt to hijack a Russian fighter plane.
We would like to make clear that Bellingcat had absolutely no involvement in the alleged activities and the accusations towards us are entirely false.

I'm not sure why I bother checking out the freelance listings on Upwork.
So much is like: 'We want you to write a 3000 word blog on this highly specialist subject that will take days of work. We'll pay you $100.'
But I guess someone is taking work at that rate otherwise they wouldn't be asking. 💀
