There's an important lesson to be taken from this mornings killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO… the bicycle is the best mode of transportation in the city. If the killer had tried to escape by car they would have been caught by the police, or might not even have made it to the CEO's hotel on time in the first place! If you want to be on time, ride your bicycle.

Despite help from friends, could not get a #38C3 ticket! Does anyone have extra, by any chance?

Why scientists say every new infection puts you at risk of getting long COVID.

"People shouldn’t be lulled into thinking that COVID will be just like a cold"

“Some people — even with mild COVID, develop long COVID”

"The illness can take hold of anyone who comes down with COVID, no matter their age, gender or overall health. It can linger for months or years. It can be relatively mild or completely disabling."

If you don’t mind sharing — what is your reason for supporting #Ukraine 🇺🇦?

For me — living in #Latvia (one of the three #Baltic countries) — there are several. (1/7)

@bearslayer

Thanks for asking!

#Portugal was a formal, brutal colonialist empire. A founding member of #NATO in 1949 while under dictatorship for decades, Portugal brought down the regime in 1974 after losing a colonial war.

As Portuguese national, I have 2 main reasons for supporting #Ukraine:

1) right the wrongs of Portugal's colonial imperialist past by supporting Ukraine in fighting against a colonial empire in the present

2) #StandWithUkraine in joining NATO+EU to be free from tyranny

My M-feed only allows reposts of a few friends. Everyone else is disabled.

My M-feed is just people’s *OWN* thoughts. Conversely my B-feed is wall to wall reposts.
