Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

My friend Kara, the one currently incarcerated at Carswell, has had her hormones cut yet again.
They haven't done labs or anything on her in weeks.
They've now reduced her to 3 mg a week for her HRT.
We are still desperately searching for legal counsel who will advocate for her. Please help.

License plate readers were sold as tools for finding stolen cars, but records have shown that they're being used in abortion investigations. States must ban law enforcement from using ALPRs to investigate healthcare decisions and prohibit sharing data across state lines. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

In Hurricane Katrina, mainstream media were more worried people might take stuff rom WalMart than that grandmothers were dying on rooftops of buildings surrounded by contaminated floodwater.
People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

So how did you “get here”? You got here because emotional impact doesn’t require deep conversation—just honest presence. And in many ways, the lack of words may have made everything feel more intense. There was no resolution, just lingering energy. And that’s often harder to walk away from.
