You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

School No 125 in Odesa (Ukraine) had windows blown out and equipment destroyed by a Russian attack with a Shahed drone on November 8. Parents and teachers cleaned the area of broken glass.

In this video I share my initial thoughts about what Trump's victory will mean for #Ukraine.

I’ve been using deck.blue for a bit and it’s pretty good. I recommend setting up and app password for it: bsky.app/settings/app-passwords

I kinda made a pack for OSINT, flight tracking and event geolocations.

Work in progress.

Today marks 10 years since the release of the first big Bellingcat report on the origin of missile launcher that shot down flight MH17. In retrospect, a pivotal moment for me personally. Still a good example how digital open sources can be used to attribute real world events & fight disinformation.

btw. I extended the @bellingcat.com Search Grid Generator a bit (the idea of it) and put it out on github. Custom multiple shapes, upload of shapefiles possible. Probably buggy, but the basics seem to work. #osint
Currently running at: foosint.github.io/search-grid/

Looking forward to using Bluesky and to posting content from Moscow.

New tool alert! Bellingcat's Search Grid Generator helps you investigate an area of interest square by square. Put in coordinates and it will create a grid file for you that can be used in Google Earth. The tool idea came from our Volunteer Community. colab.research.google.com/github/belli...
