βThe study suggests that acute COVID-19, regardless of Long COVID status, is linked to an increased risk of car crashes presumably due to neurologic changes caused by SARS-CoV-2. These findings underscore the need for further research into the neuropsychological impacts of COVID-19β¦β
This is the lesson that Israel learned from Gaza. The world will do nothing as they bomb schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings.
Don't go to Lygon Street, then. It almost makes me forget how much I hate big cities.
My take. Every year. (Yes thatβs my hand writing). bsky.app/profile/emil...

Seeing graves this small should stop the world.
On the ground war looks like this: children buried before they had the chance to grow up.
Meanwhile the men who authorise & escalate wars do so from safe rooms, far from the bombs. Rapist felons make decisions, & ordinary people bury their children.

We've got a baby, we can feast!
We can dine three days at least.
Baby blood and baby bones.
Baby butter for the baby scones!
The thing about bullies is that they never expect anyone to push back.

Just learned that if you disable "Copilot and Other AI" in your Teams lecture, it will also disable automatic recording/transcription. This is to "prevent Microsoft 365 Copilot from accessing any sensitive information that may have been shared"

Below the headline is a medical illustration of a semi-transparent human torso showing internal organs, with both kidneys highlighted in bright red.

Stay safe. I hope you can relocate soon.
Our pets really help keep us grounded, don't they? I don't know how I'd survive this dumpster hellfire of a world we find ourselves in without my snugglebum of a cat.
One hundred fucking percent THIS.
Needed to replenish my car's fuel tank yesterday as it was very low. Bad timing. There were long queues at the servo with everyone filling up before anticipated price hikes due to the war.
Iβm so pissed off about this. π€¬
Philosopher and writer Albert Camus defined gangster morality as βan inexhaustible round of triumph and revenge, defeat and resentmentβ. Sound familiar?
Iβm always telling my kids, βLife didnβt used to be like this! THIS IS NOT NORMAL.β
Laura Tingle is stuck in Dubai due to airspace closures. She gives an update of what's happening there. I welcome her reports as they're unlikely to be tainted by propaganda.

The gap between what Australians need & what their government funds.
Between the billions for submarines & the crumbs for housing.
Between the million-dollar salaries for political appointees & the women dying because domestic violence services are stretched beyond breaking point.

The phrase βpreemptive strikeβ is as insulting as when we were sold βhumanitarian pausesβ in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesnβt matter.
At least I managed to get back to see π¬π§ family six months before WWIII started. Although, I think it actually began when π·πΊ invaded πΊπ¦ and our governments sat did nothing. Putin, Netanyahu, and their US Puppet saw what they could get away with.
Does anyone have the courage and means to stop them?
