Brent Lee
Host / Producer of Some Dare Call It Conspiracy podcast. Former conspiracist turned debunker. Now that I debunk conspiracy theories, I have become an actual conspiracy theory. True story.
- 25 days post op. Still some bruising, but surgical wounds are glue free and healing up. My nose is looking better too. 🫶
- Looking forward to digging into this podcast and seeing what I can learn.

- Reposted by Brent LeeTwo years *before* Trump (and Musk) took office, journalism had already become one of the world’s most dangerous professions… And that’s why *every* day is #WorldPressFreedomDayat://did:plc:n76zrovpfftqngg74b5r57i7/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lobqmrs4ge2t
- Just what the doctor ordered. 🌞😎🌞
- I lost a piece of my nose while in the hospital. Prolonged pressure from the nasogastric tube. Lol. Reminds me of having a half-punched ticket... How apt. Also, I lowkey hope this will be the beginning of some "Brent Lee was replaced with a clone" conspiracy theories.
- On the mend. 🤘
- Last week, an undiagnosed stomach ulcer ruptured. My stomach contents spilled out into my abdomen and on to my organs. I collapsed, shaking, sweating, screaming. Dying. Within minutes, a chain of #NHS workers began working to save my life and get me back on my feet. I'm already home. Thank you NHS

- In 2018, I lost my passion for writing lyrics, poetry and music. I scribbled one or two lines here and there.. a couple of bars earlier this year. But this past weekend, I was so inspired that I wrote 32 bars. It was upbeat, positive and I meant every word. Progress. ❤️

- Reposted by Brent LeeI was invited to speak on a panel about misinformation, AI, and the "sociology of the future," but sadly, I can no longer attend due to the recent funding cuts. Hard not to see a bit of dark irony in that.
- #womenshistorymonth I recommend this book by one woman who is making history @ninajankowicz.com - a true inspiration. I found it incredibly enlightening, not only to have a better understanding of my sisters & colleagues experience but also as a man online with my own cult of trolls that harass me.
