Whoops.

· #Ebola: WHO’s chief reiterated to press that global risk remains low.
· #Hantavirus: RFK Jr announced that DHHS & CDC declared the cruise ship hantavirus outbreak over & have ended all US response
· #COVID: Massive booster study about COVID shots blocked by CDC Acting Director Jay Bhattacharya has been published in journal JAMA Open Network

And much more.

"Stay apart, stand together, mask up, & stay strong."

It's hard to believe that Colombia elected the candidate, who so blatantly copies the body language of Mussolini. But there we are in 2026.

Trying to live COVID-cautious, but then your directest next door neighbor works on a cruise ship for two months. then traveled to Singapur, where there currently is high incidence.
In the shower we can smell their food rests, soaps and perfumes since they are back.
This apartment is trying to kill me.

Yoga duckling is my hero.

It's not as if we didn't already hate you enough, USA, you arrogant, greedy, imperialist shit of a nation.

Thankfully my beautiful partner wasn't woken up, bless her righteous sleep.

#BoycottUSA #UnitedStatesofASSHOLES

Some asshole just launched fireworks at 3 am, presumably to remind us that there is a world cup, that we are trying to boycott, happening in the united states of assholes. Fuck off. #BoycottFIFA2026

"Yet despite all this, compare the media focus on US crimes in the context of hosting the World Cup with the attention given to Qatar, Russia or Brazil. Where is the reporting about US human rights abuses? Where are the televised news specials about US repression and policies of mass murder? Where are the anguished op-eds about inner city gun violence? Where are the protests by national teams against the politics of the host nation?"

Was ist der Begriff für so Knips-Schalter, die in der Mitte eines Kabels zBsp. einer Lampe installiert werden?

Which does sound like a miracle and i can only hope for Reusser, that she does not damage her body in some long-term way.

In short, there are problematic aspects to this treatment. Yet it seems to help certain people. But maybe only in certain sub-types of Long COVID? And what happens, if it does not help? Will people blame themself for failing? That's why it should be free of charge and people should stop preaching about it in silly podcasts.

Similarly, i would never make fun of someone who gets better through homeopathy. It's not for me. But again, if it works, it works. Another problematic aspect above is activation therapy. As we know, from a number of studies, this can make symptoms worse. But the article remains vague on exactly how this is done in this treatment. On the other hand, we have the case of Marlen Reusser, who had #ME type #LongCOVID, but got better using this method & went on to win races again in elite cycling.

The longer i think about this article, the more i think of it as a cheap shot. If someone gets better by saying stop to symptoms, visualizing a time before the illness and circling around a piece of paper with symbols printed on it, i may have questions, but ultimately good for them. If it works, it works. Belief and autosuggestion can help in healing. I would be too sceptical for this. But who am i to criticize someone who succeeds like that. The one problem i have is that it costs money.

Long Covid und ME/CFS: Heilung in drei Tagen? https://www.woz.ch/!4C332NV50EHR

Expensive miracle cures that sound like snake oil are aggressively being pushed in Switzerland, for instance in the podcast So Long COVID. When in fact they can do more harm than good.

#LongCOVID #ME

And yet another instance of someone coughing in my direction after they see me wearing a mask. It must be around the tenth time. I stopped counting at seven, because even one time is too depressing to even conceive. The kicker this time, i know the guy and where he lives. By name. In fact we grew up together, our parents were friends. But i also know that he was part of the anti-mask protest movement. And must be someone who can't remember faces. He never greets.

Suggestions what i should do?

Why are so many boomers using their phone on speaker in public spaces? In more general terms, why do boomers imitate the most annoying habits of younger generations?

I think it's because boomers are the generation that is the most desperate to be seen as hip. The most ingratiating generation ever. I would much prefer them, if they stil said "you dig?" and had not given up the back to the land movement after one rough winter.

What are your theories?

ixi already posted an emergency reactionalysis. This is great.

#BoardsOfCanada #LP5

Boards of Canada album 5, the latest developments:

"On Thursday the 16th, two important things happened: https://boardsofcanada.com no longer redirects anywhere but lets users "register for first access". A few hours after that, a video that is similar to the VHS tapes but is significantly longer and contains a new track was uploaded to the BoC YouTube channel and various social media platforms. https://youtu.be/6bghDcbzfEU"

#BoardsOfCanada

Good news for #BoardsOfCanada fans. (Or is it good, if one of the decipherable messages is "i love jessu"?)

The article is paywalled, but title and lead sound atrocious. Apparently Signal content can be retrieved from iphone notification backups even after the app was deleted?!

It is also part of a case in which people were charged people for alleged “Antifa” activities.

What is the word i am looking for, preemptive subordination?
