Danielle Smith admits her Sovereignty Act wasn't needed to do any of the things she's announced today, that it was just for grandstanding.

I finally got around to catching up on the results for both the Mariners :cm: and Hearts :hm: ladies...

Hearts thrashed Hamilton 6-1. Katie Lockwood with four.

The Mariners were unlucky not to come home with a point as the Victory scored a stoppage-time winner. Chinese international Wurigumula has become a real game-changer for the Mariners in recent weeks.

There was some excellent football to be had today...

The Mariners :cm: got off the mark with their first win of the season today in the F3 derby.

They played like the team that won the Championship last year. Hungry and made the most of their chances.

In Scotland, a Lawrence Shankland goal was the winner for the Jambos :hm: against St. Johnstone.

Zander Clark was also on point in goal.

I'm so glad Luongo returned to the squad after so many years. Such an underrated player...

Ouch.

Perhaps the UCP's energy would be better served trying to fix this than using our kids to further their own hateful agenda...

"The most recent data from Statistics Canada paints a dire picture. Alberta’s schools are by far the lowest funded, per pupil, in the country. As a result, we have a significantly higher ratio of students to teachers than every other province. Public education in Alberta would need an increase of $1.2 billion to bring Alberta just to the Canadian funding average."

Here's what I'm currently reading and listening to:

Michael Katz has published a new translation of Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov.

It's about 900 pages, so it might take me the entire six weeks to get through it. The cover design and typeface are beautiful.

As it's moving into the Advent season, I thought I'd do a reading a day from Fleming Rutledge's great book Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ.

My current podcast rotation can be found here.

I have been digging the back catalogue of the Tech Against Terrorism Podcast.

And finally, this Spotify Playlist highlights some of my favourite tunes at the moment.

I'm always open to recommendations...

Adler on Jespersen, speaking about the UCP AGM:

"Well, it was a social conservative orgy, and it was so orgy-like."

"I mean, who the hell wants to return to the
days of Alberta social credit, except (for)... a handful of hillbillies?"

I so want to send this to my father-in-law, who was once the President of the Alberta SoCreds...

When you try to set a healthy boundary by cutting off all contact with your toxic inlaws - only to have them passive-aggressively troll you through the postal service.

Yup, trolled. Analogue style. In the mail. 🤣

This was yesterday's effort. A card for our wedding anniversary in a few weeks. Printed with no return address. Probably in the hope of fooling us.

The card itself... well, it was blank. They deliberately sent us a blank card!

How much more passive-aggressive can you be?

This is an excellent example of what narcissism and emotional abuse look like...

RCMP charge Ottawa man with terrorism offences…

“The force said it uncovered evidence that Macdonald allegedly helped to create and distribute three propaganda videos for the Atomwaffen Division.”

Twitter will fall and the #OSINT community has no new home. We should collectively worry about it.

#OSINT practitioners need to be connected to the world, to the news, discuss with a lot of different communities. This is why Twitter was the perfect place.

My main scenario is:

- Less and less people will create content on Twitter

- Getting data from Twitter will be more complicated and so you will see less "OSINT investigations" publicly

- The OSINT practitioners will be divided in multiple small communities

- Fact checkers / Journalists will be lost. If the info is no more available on Twitter, they will need to find another entry point

- Big org like Bellingcat or big Twitter account like mine will stay big aka it will be almost impossible to "build" a big account

- The popularity of #OSINT we saw after the beginning of the war in Ukraine will continue BUT almost exclusively among young people (students, ...)

- OSINT will be used (badly) for political reasons (find opponents, dox people, ...).

- Platforms, websites are more and more closing access to the data. No data, no investigations.

- We are on the verge of multiple Internets (RuNet, ChiNet, ...). The era of 1 global Internet is probably over

- As a consequence, doing an OSINT investigation in one part of the world will need more knowledge but also will be more dangerous as countries will have more control on "their" Internets

- To finish, regulations. We will have more and more regulations about data and the use of #OSINT (especially in Europe). Politicians will (badly) try to regulate this space

Yep, imo the future for #OSINT is quite bad.

We need:
- A public space
- An international norm
- OSINT practitioners need to weigh on the political debate
- A coordination / partnership between #OSINT companies (life will be hard for all of us)
