I do open source intelligence gathering for journalistic purposes. Safe to say that it's safer to keep my information hidden.
Anyone been having issues with gay ads being forced into your browser?

I haven't, but I also use AdBlock so I don't know what ads they're trying to throw my way.

Seems some republicans are having this issue though. I wonder how they feel about targeted ads

hashtags may help with visibility, but I'd rather stay in my algorithmic shadows while I (attempt to) keep my calm in these trying times

On VPNs, they are not virus prevention.

A note for those concerned about the privacy of your images on BlueSky:
EXIF data is cleared from your photos and videos you post here

However, they are not cleared in SMS, MMS, or Discord if you don't put in the work to clear them. This does help my investigations because EXIF can help a lot to ID

I do think it’s finally an important time to rethink your tech tools. Spread out more and reduce reliance on Meta, Apple, Google, TikTok, etc.

You need to know how to do your own audience distribution. If you don’t yet, you gotta learn this year

figured I needed some profile picture, so this is what you get. I'm sure someone will want to know who I am eventually, but for now you get this.

Just like code, I can't be unbiased, but at most I'm just as biased as my creator

Hello, you can call me Punk.
I do journalistic digital intelligence gathering through open source methods.

I do this as a labor of passion for journalistic integrity and transparency of political entities.

Maybe check back later if I haven't done any reporting on current issues yet
