We built our own CIA-like intelligence hub

DeltaSweep is a real-time OSINT platform built to track military activity, geopolitical developments, and emerging events across the Middle East.

Built using the same research workflow behind CaspianReport, the platform combines military aircraft tracking, naval monitoring, satellites, GPS jamming detection, OSINT feeds, military bases, and resource infrastructure into a single operational dashboard.

This is not a sponsorship. I’m one of the co-founders of the project, and after years of juggling dozens of separate tools and trackers, we decided to build our own system.

174. Climate Action with Kyle Whyte

💾

What resources do Indigenous studies provide for addressing the crisis of human-made climate change? And how is the climate crisis linked to settler colonialism? In episode 174 of Overthink, Ellie and David chat with Indigenous philosopher and activist Kyle Whyte about his work on climate action. They discuss how Indigenous people are often blocked out of conversations about environmental impact, the common mischaracterization of the land back movement, and the importance of kinship. How are certain groups disproportionately affected by climate change? Is climate change actually a new problem? And how can respecting land rights of Indigenous people offer some solutions to climate change? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts question who is called upon to respond to the crisis of climate change and how non-Indigenous people should engage in discussions surrounding climate change and colonialism.

Welcome to the Jungle

Alexis Figueroa is willing to do the unthinkable to get a celebrity’s autograph. In this episode, we follow him as he attempts to get the one autograph that got away, that of an aging rocker he’s been after for more than a decade.
