Hi there. Do you, a friend, colleague, or family dog, want to nail #OSINT basics: geolocation, flight tracking, hidden info, disinfo etc? I've published 40 videos on YouTube. Upside: they're free. Downside: my Aussie twang and choice of intro tunes. youtube.com/@Bendobrown/fe…

These tweets by the US mission to the EU just show the alternate reality they're in when calling to "dismantle" fact-checking. It shows a lack of consideration of the vulnerable and at-risk communities that suffer real harms from fake narratives, disinformation and hatespeech.

High-resolution imagery taken on 22 June 2025 at Fordow, clearly shows at least six entry points of the GBU-57A/B MOP bunker busters that struck the facility. The strikes also caused a large amount of dust and debris, which are clearly visible in the image

The US may have attempted to strike the tunnel entrances, but we also saw trucks and other heavy equipment covering them with dirt two days ago. So, it's not clear to me the US did or that it matters. I would think TLAM'ing a pile of dirt is a lot like pounding sand.
