The Sick Times @thesicktimes.org · 23/09/2026
The Telegraph recently published an article about "sickfluencers" titled “How having a disability became cool." We've republished a piece by Julia Doubleday at The Gauntlet pushing back against the article, which she calls "absurd on its face." thesicktimes.org/2026/09/21/c...
A young woman stands by a staircase with a backdrop of tree canopy.  She wears a white, high quality mask and has long dark hair. She wears a teal sweatshirt and black pants. The text reads, “The Gauntlet x The Sick Times. COVID-19 — not TikTok — is disabling young women “Sickfluencers” are symptoms of a mass disabling event. By Julia Doubleday.” “The country is sicker than it’s ever been before” — now why would that be? Six years after COVID-19 hit, four years after the virus has been allowed to run totally rampant without mitigation, the country is sicker than it’s ever been before, but we can’t come up with any reason why that would be other than “women be faking?”

One of the most frustrating parts of fighting large-scale medical errors is laying out logical arguments that demonstrate how sloppy and dangerous a piece of guidance is, and then finding out *that exact point* was made decades ago - but it's embarrassing to senior docs so it's ignored. #medsky

Under the old system if for whatever reason you didn't want to use Round Up Ready soybeans you didn't have to - you could use a different technique and it was fine. But with dicamba and the drift issue, if you don't use RoundupExtend you risk losing your crop.

this could be everything from the farm next door to say a wetland. But Monsanto - now Bayer - had a solution. What if it created genetically modified seeds that could resist BOTH glyphosate (Round up) AND dicamba Enter: Roundup Ready Extend.

I first wrote about dicamba back in 2017 when most of the coverage was limited to farming publications. And there's something that I think is missed in the Guardian piece that I think it's important to note about why Bayer is doing this.

The Trump administration wants to cull people with disabilities from the workforce. Requests for disability accommodations are not special privileges. They are required for people with disabilities to be able to work, and they should not be treated carelessly or maliciously.

CDC, after months of delays, gives employees 20 days to resubmit disability accommodation documentation
CDC is spending months, if not longer, to process reasonable accommodation requests because HHS-wide layoffs and separation incentives decimated the department’s human resources functions.

When I pitched a review of Anton Jäger's Hyperpolitics, I wanted to read it against Fukuyama's End of History and the Last Man because both books tackle similar themes in radically different ways. The result is a double-helix of an essay that is one of the best things I've ever written for LC.
liberalcurrents.com
The End of History and the Final Girl
Anton Jäger’s "Hyperpolitics" is, at its best, late marginalia for "The End of History and the Last Man." At its worst, Jäger, like Fukuyama, is a prisoner of his political pieties.

Diversion of NIH funds from new grants to "forward funding" described in this article is consistent with the expectation that this is driven by the longer term hostile takeover of science by medicine's management class. It's worth tracking who gets funding that's locked in even after Trump loses.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: in a diner, a waitress looks over her shoulder to watch a TV mounted on the wall. A news reporter is one screen, surrounded with text that reads FOUR DEAD and DEVELOPING STORY. The reporter says, “please be advised— the murderer is still at large.” Panel 2: the reporter continues, “here’s their photo.” He gestures with his pen towards a photo next to him. The photo is a guinea pig wearing a multicolored propeller hat. Panel 3: the waitress watches the TV pensively. Behind her at the diner counter is a guinea pig in a propeller hat, seated before a plate with an entire head of lettuce. This may be the murderer in question but at this stage I’d only be speculating.

Disability and homelessness often go hand in hand. Being sick is expensive. The “crip tax” is real. Benefits force you into legislated poverty and make you give up any savings or security. People don’t want to rent to the disabled. It’s suffering as a policy choice.
