Weekender: Truth, Power, and What We Choose to See

We're deep into the Ben Mauerberger investigation here at Whale Hunting, and the threads keep pulling us in new directions—from Thailand to Switzerland to the Maldives. More on that soon. But for now, let's talk about what's been catching our attention this week.

This week's picks share a common thread: they're all about people pursuing truth in systems designed to obscure it. From veterans fighting for healthcare to drug kingpins living openly in Dubai, from AI chatbots replacing doctors to comedy legends navigating show business—these stories ask hard questions about power, accountability, and what we're willing to see.

This story is open to all and our work is available for free to anyone who signs up with their e-mail. But investigations like this aren't cheap. If you believe accountability journalism matters, consider upgrading to a paid subscription—or sending a one-time boost. Every contribution directly funds more reporting like this.
