Covid is still here. It is still damaging your immune and vascular systems. Protect others if not yourself, and wear a mask.

December 16, 2025- “The unique MRI approach identified significant alterations in brain neurochemicals, brain signal intensity, and tissue structure not only in individuals with Long COVID but also in those who considered themselves fully recovered,” he said.

“The research also reported that altered brain tissue was associated with symptom severity in individuals with Long COVID, suggesting the virus may leave a silent, lasting effect on brain health.” - news.griffith.edu.au/2025/12/1

already known...but let's put a spotlight on the next ICC judge (from Canada) who is cancelled from the digital life. No Amazon, no Mastercard, no Netflix account...

Just because Trump doesn't like the ruling of an independent international institution like the International Criminal Court.

ICC judges have been forcibly removed from most digital services, credit cards, and banks.

"Amazon, obliged to implement the sanctions as a US company, had cancelled her account."

Told a co-worker I'm colour-blind because she kept writing in yellow pen and I hated it. Manager overheard, asked if I struggle with our software, I had to keep the lie going. Now they've spent thousands upgrading it for colour-blind accessibility. Oops.

And while I am giving health advice… I had a bike accident yesterday. Nobody else was involved. Just my clumsy self being my own worst enemy, and the tarmac. But damn, thank goodness for my #helmet!
Now, I only have a scraped chin and bloody knees. Without it I would have absolutely hit my nose and forehead. Stay safe out there!

Half my German colleagues are dropping like flies from an apparently heavily mutated Influenza A variant. Most did not get vaccinated (neither against flu nor Covid), and most had Covid in the last couple of months. I fear this season is going to hit hard. And everyone is going to be surprised of why people are getting so sick and take ages to recover…
By the way - masks also help prevent the spread of flu. Just saying…

Who ever could have foreseen this

WaPo breaking news alert. “Hundreds quarantined as South Carolina measles outbreak accelerates in the wake of Thanksgiving travel and a lack of vaccinations

Authorities traced a sizable outbreak to a church in the state's northwest. *Of the 111 measles cases recorded in that area, 105 involved people who were unvaccinated while three involved those who were partially vaccinated*, state
epidemiologist Linda Bell said at a news briefing.”

You'd have thought this would be a bigger story.

A Met officer was accused of running a VIP paedophile ring, which included an MP and a judge, that sexually abused young girls in care.

A Met whistleblower claims it was “covered up” by the force.

There is also another type of attack.

A fake personalised #docusign request.
Deviously the email seem to contain text. In reality it's an image with a link.

I didn't realise this and accidentally opened the link.

Sidenote: Even being a security expert and being very aware that you are handling malicious data doesn't protect you from mistakes.

The system isolation blocked the web request. So, no harm done.

Sidenote: Simply opening a link is very unlikely to cause damage on a system with current patches installed. But it might inform the attackers that your email is in use, making your information/email address more valuable.
