Pretty sure they are actually his tattoos. Here are the Texas, 10/6, and Punisher tattoos that he posted previously. All three are visible in the Nazi tattoo photos.
(The neck tattoo mugshot guy is a different person with the same name) ImageImageImageImage
Here he is with the Punisher and Deus Vult tattoos elsewhere on his profile, plus the left hand tattoo from the mall after the shooting. ImageImageImage
Okay yes it's his swastika tattoo Image

Is this a typical thing for Twitter to do? It's "sensitive" content in that it shows that a mass shooter had two Nazi tattoos? Image
(I honestly don't know, maybe this is how it's always been, I've only seen the sensitive warning on things like violent videos/photos)
Didn't know that you can't see Quote Tweets on posts that are being limited, like this one is apparently. Twitter -- a neat site!

I've been playing around with this tool for a couple of months, and it's insanely cool once you get the hang of it. It lets you leverage OSM's data for geolocation, but without having to learn how to use Overpass-Turbo.

bellingcat.com/resources/how-…
The tool lets you search for intersecting features within a certain radius of @openstreetmap's data. You can use this for geolocation.

For example: show me all parks in NYC within a 50m radius of a one-way street with a 25mph speed limit, Catholic church, and Italian restaurant.
OSM's dataset isn't perfect or complete all over the world, so you can't always get ultra-granular. But it's pretty fantastic at letting you layer geographic details to get a list of potential geolocation candidates.

Wrote up a summary on @bellingcat that shows how the recently-unearthed Odnoklassniki account of the Allen, TX mall shooter is definitely, absolutely, certainly his.
bellingcat.com/news/2023/05/0…
As much as I'd like to actually be the greatest digital spelunker who delved deep for hours to find this obscure OK page, I literally just saw the second paragraph of an NYT article, used these search filters (male / USA / birth date), found the shooter's page.
3rd result. Tada. ImageImage

Took a while, but I found the Odnoklassniki profile of the Allen. TX shooter described in this NYT article:
ok.ru/profile/574887… Image
His YouTube account: youtube.com/@dustyshacklef…
The most recent post on his OK profile is basically his manifesto/suicide note. He closes it with a quote from South Park.

Government motion for pretrial detention of Jack Teixeira was just posted: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Why would he smash his Xbox? Image
Initial reporting on Teixeira noted that he intel drops started in October 2022. New report we had last week in the NYT shows he actually started posting right after the war started in February 2022. Image

Since 2014, our YouTube channel has basically been a giant repository for us to dump videos that we embed into articles. Our new social media manager is cleaning it up and making it actually presentable, and maybe even worth following. There's some neat stuff in there!
If you've see the Navalny documentary, you have to watch the full, 49-minute (!!!!) call between Navalny and one of his poisoners, Konstantin Kudryavtsev. The movie only shows ~2min of the call.
We recently did a very neat tutorial on using NASA FIRMS in OSINT work -- this is a resource that shows heat-generating events, such as major structure fires, forest fires, and so on.
