Image of the Sickos meme

A scruffy man has his nose and hands pressed to a window from the outside. He has a sinister smile and is saying “Yes… HA HA HA… YES!”

He is wearing a black shirt with white text reading “Sickos”

Then there are questions like this one, where I believe in equal measure that GLP-1s are “a useful medicine” and “reinforcing negative body stereotypes.” I picked the latter because that’s more my political worldview but I don’t want them banned or denied to people.
A question from the quiz
“Ozempic and similar GLP-1 drugs are...”
• a miracle drug
• a useful medicine 
• I don’t know
• letting people cheat at losing weight
• reinforcing negative body stereotypes

For example, this question. It is straightforwardly true there is a secretive group seeking to impose a totalitarian rule over the rest of us, in fact a couple competing groups, from tech oligarchs to Christofascists to the alignment of global authoritarians, but people usually mean (((Jews)))
A question from the quiz “an elite group of people have a secret plan to introduce a totalitarian government”
Options are “strongly agree” “agree” “neutral” “disagree” “strongly disagree”. I picked “strongly agree” for the reasons outlined in the post.

Democrats should pursue a last-gasp effort to salvage a two-state solution. If that effort fails, the United States will have to consider other options to secure equal political and legal rights for all. The alternatives — either a permanent apartheid state or the expulsion of Palestinians — should be abhorrent and unacceptable to everyone. They would result in the unending oppression or displacement of Palestinians, chronic unrest throughout the region and Israel becoming a pariah state.

Many cynics will rightly roll their eyes when Democrats talk about pursuing a two-state solution: Presidents have paid lip service to that goal even as Israeli settlements stretched into the West Bank. This time must be different. The United States must draw a red line against Palestinian displacement, and we must enforce it.
The next Democratic president should recognize a State of Palestine that is subject to clear benchmarks, including free and fair elections. Unless and until a different agreement is reached, the United States should treat Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as part of Palestine — a policy some of our European and Asian partners have already begun to carry out.

But that sentence comes as part of a criticism of Biden:
President Joe Biden failed to reverse most of these actions, even as Israel elected the most extremist government in its history. Moreover, Mr. Biden de-prioritized the Israeli-Palestinian peace process upon taking office. And while he was right to affirm Israel’s right to defend itself after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks, he repeatedly failed to use U.S. leverage as Israel imposed devastating collective punishment on the people of Gaza.
These failures worked against U.S. interests. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has ensnared us in violence and caused instability throughout the Middle East. It has cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. It undermines our credibility, as countries see our unconditional backing of the Israeli government as inconsistent with the principles we profess to represent.

He’s not totally repudiating Israel but man, giving the proper context rather than the thought terminating “Israel has a right to defend itself” is a real change for a national level American politician
To be clear, I support Israel’s need for security. But for too long most Democrats have unquestioningly accepted Israel’s argument that American weapons are needed and used solely for its defense. We have not yet fully confronted the fact that Israel has used its strength not only as a shield, but also as a sword to bury the two-state solution and advance the far right’s vision of a “Greater Israel.”

Strong start
Text from the piece’s opening paragraphs:

“By Chris Van Hollen
Mr. Van Hollen is the senior senator from Maryland.
Democrats need to face a hard truth. While Republicans’ approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has failed, so has ours. The Democratic Party has provided reflexive and unconditional support to Israeli governments, even as their actions have increasingly undermined American interests and values.

For decades, we have called for a two-state solution, but we’ve failed to use our leverage to make it real. It’s past time that we use that leverage to end the occupation and achieve two states with full political and legal rights for all. That means withdrawing taxpayer support from Israel and conditioning arms sales.

More of my colleagues are realizing that the status quo is unacceptable. Forty Democrats recently voted to block the transfer of certain military equipment to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, compared to only 15 of us in April of last year.

If you can’t read it, at least read this:
“White trans people don’t experience racism, if you’re still wondering. It’s just that there are many roads that lead to the same destination: of un-personing, of being decreed unworthy of or unable to further the Nation’s goals. A white trans person and a cis person of color in the West both can wield certain weapons against each other, but which weapon will be most effective depends heavily on context, on the conditions under which they meet and on the nature of their conflict. None of us is immune to reaction, or from benefiting from the reactionary systems that seek to turn us into nothing more than instruments of the ruling-class.

That’s a less comfortable answer than an absolute ranking of privilege points, I know. Too fucking bad. It’s realistic.”

Photo from the article. Greta is sitting cross legged on the ground next to her red suitcase. The words “whore Greta” in sharpie are clearly visible.

Screenshot from the article: “On December 4, 2024, the family discovered that their home had been completely destroyed. “Everything was full of dust. We began to clean the place to set up a tent,” Fadwa recounted. “Yaseen stood on the rubble and started searching for things. He found his certificates and started laughing.” However, tragedy struck once more. While Yaseen was playing, he accidentally ran into an unexploded bomb.

“I was 100 meters away from him,” Fadwa told me. “The first thing I did was call for Yaseen, searching desperately for him with my children. Then we spent an hour and a half looking for transportation to get him to the hospital.”

Yaseen lost one leg at the scene of the incident, and the other was amputated at the hospital. “Yaseen needed many surgeries, eight blood units and four plasma units. He lived after that, Alhamdulillah,” Fadwa said.”

Update 8/18/2024

Hello to our lovely supporters! ❤️

We are currently £5,345 away from the total goal of £60,000!! ❤️ We cannot express our gratitude for each and every one of you beautiful human beings who have supported the Abuhashem family! You are literally apart of saving their precious lives and there is nothing more important than that.

Jamal has secured places for nearly his entire family to be able to leave as soon as the border opens. Jamal will stay behind if we cannot reach the target amount, he just wants to ensure the safety of his family first. WE CANNOT LEAVE HIM BEHIND - he is the kindest and sweetest soul and he thinks of everyone else before himself. So we are asking again, if everyone can donate even just £5, I know we can reach the total amount so that Jamal can evacuate with his family.

The Abuhashem family all had dreams and hopes and hobbies. They had businesses and university degrees, loved

Text from the NPR article: “Leading up to the vote, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told members of an Israeli delegation to the U.S. that he would cancel their trip to Washington, D.C., if the U.S. did not outright veto the resolution, according to Israeli media.”

The article doesn’t mention Stoner but does mention Cam Barrett:
Text from article: 
“The movement on this issue was glacial for years, but it finally feels like the ice has thawed. Much of that progress is thanks to activists like Cam Barrett (she/they), a 25-year-old creator (@softscorpio) who uses TikTok to talk about her experience of being overshared in their childhood and adolescence. Barrett doesn’t go by her legal name anymore because of the online history it’s tied to. “I love my legal name,” Barrett tells me. “I just don’t love the digital footprint attached to it.” Last year, Barrett testified in front of the Washington State legislature as a proponent of a bill to protect influencer kids. This year, they testified again—this time, in front of the Maryland legislature.”

The incentive structure is fucked too
Screenshot of the article linked in Josie’s tweet. Text reads: “Khanbalinov has had zero new offers since he took his kids offline. “When we were showing our kids, brands were rolling in left and right—clothing companies, apps, paper towel companies, food brands. They all wanted us to work with them,” he says. “Once we stopped, we reached out to the brands we had lined up and 99 percent of them dropped out because they wanted kids to showcase their products. And I fought back, like, you guys are a paper towel company—why do you need a kid selling your stuff?””

Damn, I wish I hadn’t seen this reminder, I have it on my To Read shelf and now I’ll be aware of it 🤣 Was going to tell you I saw a print version at my local Barnes and Noble the other day!
A photograph of a bookshelf in a book store.
Centered in the frame on the middle shelf is a cover out copy that r Your Shadow Half Remains.

Other visible book titles are Bird Box, Mister Lullaby, The Militia House, Her Little Flowers, and If This Book Exists, You’re in the Wrong Universe.

Text: “There's no need to concede anything about abortion and homicide and the surveillance-police state to the anti-abortion side: they're already deep, deep in it. Because anti-abortion politics are not just about control, they are about emasculation — about men who feel personally demeaned by the very concept of women and pregnant people's bodily autonomy and individual agency. There's no difference between people who support abortion bans and abusers like Mason Herring. They want the same thing: total control over other people's bodies.

Forced pregnancy and forced pregnancy termination are the same side of the same abuser coin.”
