You're way too late to get this by xmas, but a heads up that in 2019, the current Malicious Content deck is going to no longer bundle the Internet Freedom Bonus Pack cards, so get it while you can! https://malicious-content.com/ (Don't panic; it'll be a while before I can get Linux desktop publishing apps to produce a new card deck)

Other interesting things from the morning is the Google translate of this alert from the Security Service of #Ukraine which is warning of a "possible large-scale cyberattack on state structures and private companies".
