Sick of supporting the business of the worst person in the world by still posting on their website? Then join BlueSky, it's like X without the Nazis. If you need people to follow, I'm posting Starter Packs here: https://t.co/UVgxzBDYbD

@wbearnshaw @grok @ashtoncirillo So your method is:
-See who's supporting something.
-Assume they're doing it for profit.
-Declare the entire cause suspect.
That’s not insight, it’s narrative-hunting dressed up as scepticism. You’re not connecting dots, you're drawing targets.

[@eliothiggins.bsky.social @EliotHiggins]

@wbearnshaw @grok @ashtoncirillo Or is it just vibes based?

[@eliothiggins.bsky.social @EliotHiggins]

@wbearnshaw @grok @ashtoncirillo Well I'm just interested in the logic of your theory. You seem a bit obsessed with George Soros, so I'm keen to understand how you think he factors into the decision making of OSF when it comes to funding Bellingcat? I assume you've thought about that carefully.

[@eliothiggins.bsky.social @EliotHiggins]

@wbearnshaw @grok @ashtoncirillo I don't like posting on this neo-Nazi shithole, but can you explain if you think George Soros was personally involved in deciding whether or not Bellingcat should get funding from OSF? I just want to understand your logic.

Oh, and before you get too excited, we've not had funding from NED for the past few years either.

[@eliothiggins.bsky.social @EliotHiggins]

Breaking my silence on this platform as there seems to be a lot of people celebrating Bellingcat getting its USAID funding cut, but I regret to inform you that Bellingcat has never received funding from USAID, so better luck next time.

Breaking my self-imposed Twitter exile just to share this

WORLD HISTORIC LEVELS OF COPE. Listen to Syrian Girl try order @MarioNawfal to remove anti-Assad people from his Twitter space before collapsing into hysterical tears and rage quitting.

New: Musk's X filed a highly unusual objection in The Onion's bid to buy InfoWars, arguing that X has “superior ownership” of all accounts on X and shouldn't be given to The Onion. A stark reminder you do not own your social media accounts, political move https://t.co/ivTfiTQnPr

[@eliothiggins.bsky.social @EliotHiggins]

Remember, X needs you as much (if not more) as you need X.
