Here's a description of the Russian attempted access to NLRB from the whistleblower complaint. whistlebloweraid.org/wp-content/u...
21. On or about March 11, 2025, NxGen metrics indicated abnormal usage at points the prior
week. I saw way above baseline response times, and resource utilization showed increased
network output above anywhere it had been historically – as far back as I could look. I noted that
this lined up closely with the data out event. I also notice increased logins blocked by access
policy due to those log-ins being out of the country. For example: In the days after DOGE
accessed NLRB’s systems, we noticed a user with an IP address in Primorskiy Krai, Russia
started trying to log in. Those attempts were blocked, but they were especially alarming.
Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created accounts that were used in
the other DOGE related activities and it appeared they had the correct username and password
due to the authentication flow only stopping them due to our no-out-of-country logins policy
activating. There were more than 20 such attempts, and what is particularly concerning is that
many of these login attempts occurred within 15 minutes of the accounts being created by DOGE
engineers.

Exactly! One aspect of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump's driven by it. In normal folk those impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He takes glee from others' suffering. Shutdowns, cuts, El Salvador deportations, markets tanking - it's fun for him.

It summarizes Trump openly supporting massive tariffs, Harris warning they’ll harm the economy, and Bill Ackman later claiming no one could have foreseen them. Included is Ackman’s tweet expressing disappointment and calling the tariffs unforeseeable.

When I asked about genocide in Myanmar, FB said it unfortunately couldn't read Burmese text but that it was working on it ... but "we still don't know if it's really going to work." It had been in Myanmar for seven years and had already been accused of helping to facilitate a genocide
One of the people I interviewed while at Facebook headquarters was Guy Rosen, who was then Facebook’s head of product and is now its chief information security officer. I interviewed Rosen about how it could be possible that Facebook had failed so terribly at content moderation in Myanmar that it was being credibly accused of helping to facilitate the genocide of the Rohingya people. What Rosen told me shocked me at the time, and is something that I think about often when I write about Facebook. Rosen said that Facebook’s content moderation AI wasn’t able to parse the Burmese language because it wasn’t a part of Unicode, the international standard for text encoding. Besides having very few content moderators who knew Burmese (and no one in Myanmar), Facebook had no idea what people were posting in Burmese, and no way to understand it: “We still don’t know if it’s really going to work out, due to the language challenges,” Rosen told me. This was in 2018; Facebook had been operating in Myanmar for seven years and had at that time already been accused of helping to facilitate this human rights catastrophe.
