PayPal Email Search

Search Google Drive Files connected to domain (and deleted files too)
1. Open index․commoncrawl․org
2. Search URL Pattern "drive․google․com/a/+target domain+/"
Be patient. Try different indexes (since domain registration date). Doesn't work for all domains.
Pastebin search tips
1. Search by keywords in archive org collection search http://web.archive.org/collection-search/pastebin.com/ (last update 2023)

Another free method of finding information by nickname or last name.
urlscan.io page.url advanced search operator: page.url:"/targetusername/" Works the same as inurl: in Google, but the results are very different.
Linkedin OSINT content
Lately, I have been learning more and more OSINT news from Linkedin and I recommend my readers to pay attention to this social network as well.
First, I would recommend subscribing to the OSINT Experts Society Group (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13047129/). It belongs to my old friends at UserSearch.ai and I help them make posts.
To answer a frequently asked question, I'm on Logan, I'm Irina, I don't have my Linkedin profile.
There are also a lot of interesting OSINT bloggers on Linkedin. For example, Valdemar Balle, Alex Lozano and Aidan Raney. The latter, by the way, has recently started doing Substack newsletter:
Thank you very much for your attention!

I hope to send you another letter in 1-3 weeks.
"Girl’s Head beside a Skull" is a striking composition that juxtaposes innocence with mortality, a theme often explored in art to reflect on the ephemeral nature of life.
Rex Whistler had a fascination with beauty and youth, and this painting embodies those ideas while evoking a sense of transience.
I came across mentions that the artwork may have influenced one of the most iconic scenes in Alien 3 - these connections are speculative and not well-documented.
Additionally, the painting is believed to have been commissioned by or created for Lady Elizabeth Clyde, an English socialite, though specific details about this association are scarce.
Unfortunately, detailed records on Whistler’s specific motivations for this painting are scarce, but its symbolism aligns with traditional "memento mori" art, which serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of existence.
Given the lack of comprehensive information, I recommend reaching out to art historians or institutions specializing in Rex Whistler's work for more in-depth insights.
Hope this helps!
I am a newbie about this which is way over my head yet it seems worth being vaguely aware of these resources. Permit me to ask if you can help me with something. I am trying to learn about the background of the painting titled: "Girl’s Head beside a Skull" by Rex Whistler,
I have done many searches with the question "why did he paint this explanation" to no
avail.
Do you have any suggestions where I can get an explanation.. I did click on a promising
link that lead to a goofy 80s song where I learned the term for that is not clickbait, it is to be
"rickrolled. "
If you have the time and idea or not let me know!
Thank you and God bless!
