New long COVID study suggests tiny packets released by gut bacteria may help drive gut problems, immune activation, and brain-related symptoms in some people with long COVID.
This study focused on extracellular vesicles. In simple terms, these are tiny packages released by bacteria and other cells. They can carry different materials and may send signals from the gut to other parts of the body.
The team used stool samples from 103 people: 12 pandemic controls and 91 people with long COVID. Samples were taken 3 to 6 months and or 12 months after infection.

El poder ya no busca conquistar tierras, sino incapacitar estados.🛡️🏛️ #Geopolítica #Estado #Poder #Seguridad2026
Estamos ante el surgimiento de un "Cinturón de Estados Débiles". Cuando la estructura estatal se fragmenta, la legitimidad social se diluye y la intervención externa se vuelve la norma. Un desafío sistémico para el siglo XXI. 🌍📉 #RelacionesInternacionales #Análisis #Oriente
Türkiye demuestra que la verdadera fuerza exterior nace de la cohesión interna. La gestión de los conflictos históricos no es debilidad, es el blindaje necesario contra las fracturas regionales. 🇹🇷⚖️ #Turquía #Estrategia #Democracia #PazRegional
First, I explore the pastoral approach taken by priests, bishops, and major commentators during the implementation of the liturgical changes between 1964 and 1968

"I russi ci vendevano gas a buon prezzo, ora lo compriamo dagli americani a 4 volte tanto".
"Con il gas russo le bollette si abbassano".
Le cazzate russe sul gas si sprecano. È arrivato il momento di smontarle una per una.
1/➡️
Una breve premessa di carattere generale.
Vendere gas all'Europa, per la Russia, assolve ad una duplice funzione: 1) È un'enorme fonte di entrate; 2) È una leva geopolitica molto forte ed un modo per indebolire l'UE, favorendo le relazioni bilaterali con i singoli Paesi.
2/➡️
La riduzione della dipendenza europea dal gas russo ha ridimensionato queste nostre vulnerabilità nei confronti della Russia, mentre loro hanno perso un punto di forza su cui contavano molto. Forse troppo, tanto da invadere l'Ucraina convinti che l'Europa si sarebbe piegata.

Twenty something years ago, I picked up a mystery infection that hammered my system and left me with all sorts of health problems.
I'll come back to some of those bits in a mo, but here's the point of the story:
After a while, I discovered that I'm ok with exercise as long as it's a very small increase of something that I'm used to.
(this is not an 'all you need to do to get better is exercise' thread, and it's not a prescription of exercise to people with any chronic illness, I'll explain that more later too)
I am getting questions about whether Trump's threats alone are illegal. The answer is yes.
1. Additional Protocol I states “Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.” (also DOD LOW Manual §5.2.2)
1/
2. Threats of use of force also violate the United Nations Charter, which provides "Members shall refrain in their international relations from the THREAT or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state . . "
2/
The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties also provides "A treaty is void if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations."

This is not a warning. This is not a prediction. This is a promise from people who are building the system to make it real.
And the digital control grid is how they plan to deliver it.
Without ownership, you have no control. Without ownership, you are dependent. Without ownership, you are a slave — and the people who own everything rule over you.
2/ Ownership is power.
When you own your home, you cannot be evicted for saying the wrong thing. When you own your car, you cannot be denied transportation for attending the wrong protest. When you own your money, it cannot be frozen because an algorithm flagged your behavior.
Ownership means independence. And independence means you do not need permission to exist.
That is exactly why they want to take it from you.
3/ The shift has already begun.
You do not own your software — you license it. You do not own your music — you stream it. You do not own your movies — you subscribe to them. You do not own your books — you access them through an app that can revoke them at any time.
You already accepted this. You thought it was convenience.
It was training. Training you to live without ownership. Training you to accept that everything you use can be taken away the moment you step out of line.
٢. تحرّك ببطء شديد. لم يسبق لجسمها أن تعرّض لمثل هذا التمدد من قبل. التسرّع سيُسبّب لها الألم وستتوقف عن الحركة. خذ وقتك ودعها تتأقلم.
٣. استخدم كمية وفيرة من المزلق. حتى لو كانت رطبة، فإن مهبل الفتاة العذراء عادةً ما يكون أضيق وأكثر جفافًا مما تتوقع. استخدام كمية إضافية من المزلق يجعل العملية أكثر سلاسة وأقل إيلامًا لها.
Tucker: Easter morning should have been about resurrection, peace, and victory over death.
Instead Trump threatened power plants and bridges in Iran. Civilian infrastructure, blackouts, refugees and dead noncombatants — including over a million Christians who live in Iran. 1/
Tucker: Millions of Christians backed Trump not because he was pious, but because he looked like a protector — of religious liberty, of Christians, of the unborn.
I think the first moment they should have stopped and asked what this really was came on Jan. 4, over Venezuela. 2/
Tucker: The problem was not that Maduro was anti-American. The problem was the motive Trump gave us: we did it for the oil.
That crossed a line for me. If a country says it can take what it wants by force, it is not defending order. It is legalizing theft at scale. 3X
Em 2026 o governo Trump conseguiu:
- Não promover a mudança de regime na Venezuela.
- Não promover a mudança de regime no Irã.
- Deixar claro, de uma vez por todas, que direito internacional, ONU e OTAN não servem para nada.
- Rebaixar a percepção do poderio militar americano para níveis do governo Carter.
- Elevar o status militar, econômico e até mesmo moral do Irã.
- Colocar em xeque todas as alianças dos EUA no Oriente Médio.
- Tornar o Irã uma potência na Guerra de Informação.
- Popularizar armas nucleares e iniciar uma silenciosa, porém urgente, corrida nuclear pelos próximos anos.
- Gastar uma quantidade de mísseis e outras armas de precisão que levará ao menos 5 anos e bilhões de US$ para ser reposta.
Everyone should read this part of the @EUCouncil lawyers’ reply to my appeal before the General Court: they explicitly state they are not obliged to demonstrate current links to Russia in order to impose severe sanctions on a person — including me for my journalism
You think that was the shocking part keep continue reading:
"the Council may rely on "any publicly available sources" and need not await the result of police investigations."
Read that again.
Newspaper reports and open-source material can be enough to trigger sanctions.
In other words, as in my case: if newspapers, trade unions, and journalists in Germany run a disinformation campaign against you — even one not grounded in facts — it can still be used as the basis for sanctions, even when the allegations are factually wrong.
Soy italiano. Acabo de regresar de Madrid donde estuve viviendo 4 años.
Durante la cena, mis viejos amigos y yo empezamos a discutir sobre lo mismo que siempre discutimos: ¿qué ciudades de España son realmente increíbles pero de las que nadie habla nunca?
Estuvimos horas discutiendo. Al final de la noche, teníamos una lista.
7 ciudades ocultas que la mayoría de las personas, incluida la mayoría de los españoles, nunca pensarán en visitar, y mucho menos en mudarse a ellas.
Sin multitudes. Sin precios para turistas. Calidad de vida increíble.
Hilo 🧵
España tiene 8.132 municipios. Los turistas visitan aproximadamente 20.
Estos no son lugares baratos para probar suerte. Son ciudades donde los españoles adinerados viven su mejor vida, completamente fuera del radar.
Para cada una, desglosé los precios de las propiedades, el aeropuerto más cercano, la población, para quién es realmente y las desventajas honestas que debe conocer.
7 ciudades a las que me mudaría. Datos de cada una:
1/ CÁCERES, la ciudad medieval mejor conservada de España
Si llevas tiempo en España, seguro que has oído hablar de Cáceres… pero casi nadie la considera seriamente para vivir.
Error.
Porque los datos —y la experiencia real— dicen otra cosa.
El casco histórico no es solo bonito. Es brutal.
Patrimonio de la UNESCO desde 1986. Calles de piedra intactas, palacios renacentistas y torres medievales sin tocar.
Aquí no hay decorado turístico.
Es real.
Población: ~95.000 habitantes. Tamaño perfecto: no es pueblo, no es caos. Vida todo el año.
