Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Terracotta tiles or future mug? Something went wrong somewhere...

Workshop alert! We've recently revamped our trainings and are offering workshops again. If you ever wanted to learn how Bellingcat does our investigations & want to do it yourself, this is the best way to learn! You'll learn from the researchers (like me) who do this all day.

Latest investigation with @thinink.bsky.social, give it a read. Our food increasingly makes us sick, and we found that when governments try to protect us, they get sued by big food companies like Coke & Pepsi. The lawsuits add up to nearly six centuries! www.lighthousereports.com/investigatio...

Every year, bad diets kill millions of people and cost trillions of $. The world’s largest food companies say they want to be part of the solution. But behind closed doors, companies lobby governments to derail public health laws.

Our new investigative series, “Big Food vs The People,” rolling out over the next few months will lift the curtain on what’s going on behind the scenes.

Être visée par des pilotes appelant à “faire une tournante” avec moi pour avoir enquêté sur les violences sexuelles à #AirFrance. Voilà ce que produit la culture de l’impunité : la menace violente sous couvert de “blague”. @jouanan.bsky.social @fannyrga.bsky.social @lecanardenchaine.fr

Losing "cloud" data because of a missile strike on Bahrain wasn't in my 2026 Bingo card...

NEW: On the first day of the war with Iran, the United States used a new ballistic missile. It was untested in combat. Our analysis shows it struck a sports hall, an elementary school, and residential areas — killing at least 21 people, including children. w/ @johnismay.bsky.social

What can journalism do in a world where news is free, people don't trust us, and AI bots answer any question? I guess, maybe, not use AI to write articles? See this investigation by @foeke.bsky.social www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

War disrupts fertiliser supplies, puts food security at risk. A third of fertiliser shipped by sea comes from the Gulf countries and cannot make it to the global market as Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz u.afp.com/SLwf

Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

A metaphor for NATO's position? their surveillance plane doing circles in the sky above Turkey. globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=4d03c0

always worth remembering that "the cloud" is actually just someone else's computer (or their many, many computers)

AWS servers in Bahrain and UAE are down - this physicality of the "cloud" is rarely visible to users. ... unless one needs a cloud GPU in Kenya, then one learns that Google, Amazon etc. barely have any GPU on the continent (just a few in SA, and very $$). www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

#Cameroon Cameroonian authorities are arbitrarily detaining non-Cameroonian nationals deported from the US+detaining +abusing journalists who tried to interview them. But Trump’s administration doesn’t seem to care, @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2026/02...

Looks like a phishing attempt. Anyone else got something like this? @signal.org guessing you don't sent those?

Are you an early-career professional who is passionate about investigative journalism? Are you constantly curious about new ways of doing journalism and making it reach critical audiences? You might just be the fellow we are looking for.

I'll be at the #GIJC Conference in Kuala Lumpur with the rest of the @lighthousereports.com food systems team later this week Please reach out if you're there and would like to grab a coffee!

Projet politique effacé de l’information. On retiendra qu’il est un immigrant qui parle arabe. Super.

How do you even...

People often ask what it's like behind the scenes at the world's top spy tech trade fair, ISS World. Turns out it's like this bsky.app/profile/ligh...

Ohne @lighthousereports.com und speziell ohne @gabrielgeiger.bsky.social, cr0ft0n.bsky.social, @orariccardo.bsky.social & the one and only @emmanfre.bsky.social hätte es diese Recherche einfach nicht gegeben: merci, thanks, danke to all of you! www.lighthousereports.com/investigatio...

I'm a regular complainer, apparently

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Fascinating read on the workers training #AI, and why tech companies recruit for thousands of jobs that don't really exist. If you've ever seen an ad to “Take part in a part-time, remote, freelance project” or “Freelance English Proofreader / AI Tutor” you'll definitely want to check this out.

Recent covers of The Atlantic, and in response the @thecontinent.org about the war in Sudan.

Going through airport security, apparently I had too much mustard and dignity, so I had to leave both with the agents.

THREAD: An ex-DOGE engineer with no government or medical experience used AI to identify which Veterans Affairs contracts to kill, labeling them as “MUNCHABLE.” @vernalcoleman.bsky.social @ericumansky.bsky.social and I got the code. Here’s what it tells us 1/

Kenya's competition authority looked into animal feed market and found: - 4 vertically integrated firms control over half the market - Feed prices are up to 40% higher than international markets - This leads to lower farmer income and higher food prices www.shambacentre.org/why-competit...
