I think it is reasonable to view anti-vaccine disinformation as a form of hybrid warfare; much of it originates in the hostile Trump regime (and quite a bit from Russia too)
UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

I have a number of friends who live close to the US border and used to go over for meals or shopping fairly regular. They have stopped doing it and are instead travelling to various different Canadian areas. This might seem like a small effort, but it definitely adds up.

BREAKING: Canada Just Dropped the Blueprint to Break Free from the U.S. Military Industrial Complex
125,000 jobs. 5% of GDP. 70% domestic procurement. And a deliberate pivot away from American arms manufacturers. This isn’t procurement reform — it’s geopolitical emancipation.

I'm not a fan of physical violence... I just honestly think people wearing these things have 0 consideration for the rights and privacy of anyone else on the planet. And thereby deserve to have these glasses yanked off them and stomped on.
Meta is putting a "Name Tag" feature in Ray-Bans - facial recognition through the glasses' camera. You look at someone, AI tells you who they are.
In an internal document, the company wrote that the timing is good because civil society groups are busy with politics and won't cause problems.

SO, i'm back to my fuckery after recovering from some self inflicted torment as a result of my own shenanigans (i'm not gonna say what exactly) with @skydeck.live. And now hopefully nobody else should have that issue pop up. 🤞

I guess they don't want their pals China and North Korea seeing exactly how bad they're getting pwned. Though with NK, they'd have a pretty good idea since it's also THEIR people getting trashed. 🫤

Yandex has hidden images of the New Cemetery in Severomorsk, the city where the headquarters of the Russian Northern Fleet is located.

Hopefully with all the agreements Canada are working on closely with Europe, they'd also give us access to this jailbreak. I have to wonder if that's the reason behind us tossing some money into additional F-35s recently.
Outgoing Dutch State Secretary of Defence tells podcast that European countries have ways to jailbreak F-35s and make them fully European, if the Americans were to restrict access:
"I'm not allowed to tell you more."
(Probably shouldn't have said any of this at all, lol)

Boasting about 200+ victims when you're a new or rebranded ransomware group, is quite a claim. But there's little evidence that 0APT actually *are* any sort of threat. Investigations into it, suggest a lot of false claims and practically no evidence.

0APT is claiming over 200 victims in quick succession in early 2026. Is it fabricated. Read this GRIT blog to learn what you can do.

The vast majority of us are incredibly lucky that we've never had a completely hostile nextdoor neighbour like Russia. I can't even begin to imagine how bad off i'd be, having attacks on my home country constantly going off. 😣
