Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:

As Understanding of Russian Hacking Grows, So Does Alarm
“it now appears Russia exploited multiple layers of the supply chain to gain access to as many as 250 networks…The hackers managed their intrusion from servers inside the United States…“Early warning” sensors placed by Cyber Command and the National Security Agency deep inside foreign networks to detect brewing attacks clearly failed…SolarWinds, the company that the hackers used as a conduit for their attacks, had a history of lackluster security for its products, making it an easy target…Some of the compromised SolarWinds software was engineered in Eastern Europe, and American investigators are now examining whether the incursion originated there, where Russian intelligence operatives are deeply rooted.”

Drug reverses age-related cognitive decline in a matter of days by erasing ‘blockages
“The drug, ISRIB, has already proven effective at restoring brain functions of patients dealing with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Down Syndrome…“ISRIB’s extremely rapid effects show for the first time that a significant component of age-related cognitive losses may be caused by a kind of reversible physiological ‘blockage’ rather than more permanent degradation,”

Random Favorite Songs Video
The band Black ‘N Blue was formed in 1981 by Jamie St. James and Tommy Thayer (yes, the dude from KISS). This was at the beginning of the Hair Metal era.
If you are interested in the beginning of that era, there are a few shows on Amazon Prime you can check out:
Inside Metal: Pioneers Of L.A. Hard Rock And Metal
Inside Metal: The LA Metal Scene Explodes 2
The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years
My favorite song from Black ‘N Blue is Chains Around Heaven from their self titled album:
