the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre"

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

I forgot to note that this was a thread, so: Here is a 🧵🧵 on the direct connections between Heritage Foundation, Nick Fuentes and the far-right Texas billionaire who is fueling the rise of Christian nationalism. If you do not already know a lot about Tim Dunn, I recommend changing that.

Robert Downen @robertdownen.bsky.social · 4d

Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis.

Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.

After bringing white South Africans to the United States as refugees earlier this year, the Trump administration has now granted protection to members of far-right European parties.

This plan, which becomes official today, makes the country's refugee program into a tool for white nationalism.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records.

We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility.

They’re disappearing people.

No due process. No accountability.

Could ICE have 'lost' 3,000 immigrant arrestees in Chicago?

At least 3,000 jailed immigrants have vanished from federal records, according to human rights attorneys and organizations.

Childhood diagnosis didn’t get her needed support, or even understanding, because they didn’t understand autism at all back then.

Many late-diagnosed #autistic people feel regretful or angry that they weren’t diagnosed sooner. I understand why, but if it helps at all:

My sister was diagnosed when we were kids & her diagnosis just got her put in torturous ABA therapy & SPED classes that didn’t challenge her intellectually. 1/2
