This appears to be a combined set of exports from a SQL database. Here are the first lines
Because this is a combined export (likely from the command line) of various tables, the file is not readable by a typical SQL editor, and needs to be split into pieces to make it so.
I'd rather just turn it into CSV chunks to start cleaning up the dataset for further analysis
There are 215,000 lines or so in the WordPress Comments table. As you can see, comment_author_IP is available, which is broadly useful to get a sense of where people posting replies to the Heritage blog are coming from in the world.

After creating a CSV chunk with only the WP comments table, now I can view columns and extract their content as needed. After extracting IP addresses from the author column, I can eliminate duplicates and work on analyzing their presumed geo origin, which is of interest to me
Dataset was a little dirty and a hassle to clean up.
Here are the 60K extracted IPs from the WP Comments table:
The goal is always to make Zelensky look bad and Ukraine undemocratic for postponing elections despite the reality that the country is not in a state to hold an election successfully without external interference.
Further, changes of leadership during times of war can provide fissures which spell certain failure in the face of said covert interference, and Putin knows this well.
The Kremlin's strategy is to fracture public opinion amongst those who do not understand the issues.
Ever feel overwhelmed or distressed after taking in the news?
You might be experiencing vicarious trauma. 😰
It can happen when you are exposed to traumatic events, even from a distance. This thread 🧵 is about how to spot the signs and protect your well-being.
What does vicarious trauma look like? The signs can be behavioral, physical, and psychological:
> Social withdrawal, irritability, trouble separating events from life
> Headaches, gastrointestinal trouble, fatigue
> Intrusive thoughts, cynicism, disturbed sleep, or feeling numb
Steps to control your exposure to distressing content:
Before you view, hit pause and ask yourself:
> Do I need to see this now?
> Do I need to see all of it?
During viewing, try making the window smaller, lowering the sound, or reducing color saturation.
Great list! 👏 TYSM for recognizing me as a "very niche" cybersecurity creator and influencer who is known as "THE go-to expert" in my respective areas of security.
Down below👇I have linked four‼️valuable stories for #tech, #infosec, and #cybersecurity professionals.
👀🧵
1. Are you aware that conversational AI tools may be secretly collecting & analyzing your users' sensitive information, posing a growing threat to their privacy & autonomy?
These are not conflicting views. You can want for the people of Palestine & Israel to peacefully co-exist and for the apartheid & genocide to end while also decrying the garbage leadership of both nations. Yes, I cheer for the death of terrorists who do not love their own people.
No, I will not give Netanyahu an "attaboy" for genocide which includes 20K children and destroying many multiples of other lives/communities for the sake of eliminating Sinwar. Nobody should. The atrocities in Gaza cannot be left unanswered. Those responsible must face the ICC.
Reviewing the government's complaint against the alleged Israeli Embassy shooter "Elias Rodriguez" revealed additional suspicious patterns of behavior which could be markers of tradecraft that strengthen my case for intelligence involvement in the murders of Sarah and Yaron.
1. Pro Timing & Logistics:
- OPSEC: Last-min ticket purchase (3hrs before event)
- Planning: Interstate firearm transport via commercial airline
- Minimal exposure window via 1day operation (arrived May 20, attacked 21st)
- Target-rich environment: Gathering of Israeli diplomats
2. Behavioral Anomalies:
- Immediate surrender after attack, unusual for genuine extremist
- Calm confession without lawyer present
- No escape attempt despite advance planning suggests mission completion priority
- Theatrical political messaging: Keffiyeh as prop
