Strong support for mitochondrial theory of fatigue and brain fog in Long COVID:
"At the cellular level, we saw that the mitochondria of the muscle, also known as the energy factories of the cell, function less well and that they produce less energy," says Rob Wüst, Assistant Professor at Department of Human Movement Sciences at the VU University. "So, the cause of the fatigue is really biological. The brain needs energy to think. Muscles need energy to move."

"The quality of a city can be judged by the number of people who *stop* being pedestrians, and decide to sit down for a while."
—Jan Gehl, quoted in #Straphanger
By the way, when I told Jan that North Americans often objected that if you put out benches in public, they’d just be taken up by the unhoused, he replied:
"Then put out twice as many benches!"

I always got a giggle biking by the HFC (Halal Fried Chicken) and now I have some context. https://hfcnederland.nl/
On a whim I tried following the hashtag on one of my favorite stickers, #shypower which I now know is by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamja_Ahsan and now I’m down a fried chicken rabbit hole: https://www.middleeasteye.net/discover/british-muslim-hamja-ahsan-artist-fried-chicken-shop
Bring back self-hosted blogs, reinstall a feed reader, make your feed icon prominent on your blog. Blogs + Atom/RSS is the best decentralized social media system we've ever had!
And yes I am saying that as co-author of ActivityPub: self hosted blogs is the best decentralized social networking we've had
Can we have one of those folks with the giant hook just off stage remove the guy shilling an eco coin at #37c3 🤦🏻
Weekly deaths, all causes, up to 24th Dec.
RIVM has a snazzy new graph which now uses solid blue for the band of expected deaths, instead of the earlier two black lines.
The data itself is horrifying, and completely what I expected due to the wastewater figures.
Note that we don't have any measures other than vaccinating the elderly. That's all we did. Are doing.
No shutdowns, lockdowns, mask mandates, distancing, NOTHING.
In Dutch the acronym for #autism spectrum disorder is ASS. I can mostly handle this, but every now and then my therapist puts up a picture like this and I burst out laughing, and then I have to apologize for being an 8 year old.
