      Stuff like that is super interesting. I love this investigative journalism. Another one I find captivating is: https://www.bellingcat.com/

      Zerforschung is funny, if you want a fun ride read this about "making photobooks out of your personal messages":

      Perhaps @dang can change the link to the blogpost shared by zerforschung at the bottom of the thread which is written in English?

      https://zerforschung.org/posts/djokovic-pcr-test-en/

    • frakkingcylonsJan 2022

      They have this thread in a blog post in English: https://zerforschung.org/posts/djokovic-pcr-test-en/

      Suggest changing the link to that.
