The best way to protect yourself from airborne viruses is a high quality respirator like an n95. Covid made all my hair fall out and now I have long covid. You don’t know what your magic number infection will be where you get it and never recover. Mine was 1.

Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

Trump is gutting the bank regs set up after the ’08 Great Recession. The Fed governor in charge of bank regs is gutting regs and laying off 30% of staff. She weakened measures to detect possible failures, watered down bank supervision at the FDIC and gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The latest draft of the US-brokered deal that Ukraine has agreed to broadly is less favorable to Moscow, leaving the most sensitive issues to be decided by Trump and Zelenskyy — territorial issues and US security guarantees, but Kyiv had agreed to cap its army at 800,000

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable. Green: Would you still love me if I never got better? Blue hesitates a moment before answering. Blue: What a silly thing to ask. Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore. Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.

I’ve been talking about online disinformation networks for a while, on Twitter/x before I quit there, and I am glad they are finally being exposed. Foreign actors and disinformation bot networks have been a major cause of the disinformation cycle pushing propaganda in the rise of fascism.
Erin Candy El / on 16 @ @eri...•2024-10-16 X The Cold War is online. Russia has been using online disinformation to meddle in our democracy since at least 2016 but it really started getting bad in 2020 with Kremlin funded anti-vaccine and anti-science disinformation to destabilize our economy during the pandemic and further anti-government rhetoric to brainwash people against Trudeau to garner support for Peirre Poillievre because the CPC will work with Putin. You can tell who is an online disinformation agent paid by the Kremlin by who publishes blatant disinformation that benefits Russia, usually anti-Ukraine, pro-trump, anti-science, anti-government, anti-immigrant, pro-eugenic, are common themes all together usually, is a sign they are working on behalf of foreign interests and they push the narrative that Canada is broken, that Trudeau is a communist and that only conservatives can save everything. Erin Candy El / on @erincandy X.com Putin's biggest investment is psychological warfare. The cold war is online. Think about how much damage the pandemic has done, and is doing. The civil unrest caused by people who have been radicalized by Russian disinformation put pressure on the government to abandon all mitigations and now public health is regressing and Putin is laughing from his bunker at his success. We have to expose these disinformation networks. The goal of this disinformation is to reframe everyone's mindset to an individualistic one, an unhealthy society doesn't take care of its most vulnerable, they want people to distrust science. 4:11 PM • 2024-09-07 • 266 Views Erin Candy @erincandy / on X.com I literally studied the rise of fascism in my university degree. Fascist always use the same propaganda playbook it's easy for me to see when it's happening. Disinformation warfare: blame marginalized groups as the enemy to unite your voters using disinformation, democratic elections are rigged if they lose, anyone who disagrees or calls out lies is the enemy, distrust of the media is pushed by calling it fake news so their followers only accept news that's being manipulated with disinformation, discredit scientists and education because smart and educated people are the enemy of fascists and their disinformation cycle. Fascism rises when politicians can't hold onto power in a democracy. Putin has been using disinformation to disrupt western civilization and so many Americans and Canadians have been brainwashed to spread disinformation. It's dangerous and we need to continue fighting against it or democracy will fall. #cdnpoli 5:57 PM • 2023-10-02 • 4.6K Views

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Yes, mental health and bullying play a role.

Both issues are almost certainly made worse by a neuroinvasive virus which causes anxiety and affects executive functioning, leading to increased aggression and diminished resiliency.

I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right.

Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.
