i wrote about glp-1s in a way that feels quite personal/vulnerable to me. i rly get not wanting to read anything further on this topic but if you do, i'm grateful! https://t.co/BQqkNc9Nwm

[WIRED @WIRED]

Six years since the height of the pandemic, the scientific community remains baffled by long Covid. But there might finally be a way forward for long Covid treatment—if only you were allowed to talk about it.

@awgaffney I didn't cover the latest news on this, but wrote on it back in Dec: https://t.co/Cl1O9mvb9y

Obsession and the Narcissitic Abuser as the Metanarrative of the Internet: Part One
My thoughts on Obsession, and how this movie is difficult to read in the internet age

[Health Nerd @GidMK]

One of the most persistent lies of the pandemic is still being repeated by RFK Jr today.

So I wrote about it and why it is utter nonsense

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO

I'm just gonna repost this tweet here — since WSJ clearly has a problem crediting other reporters’ scoops. 🙄

Not the first time. Happened when I reported Warsh was Trumps pick for the Fed too. But alas, here we are 🤷‍♀️

@AGDugin Respectfully sir; this aint it. Me, my Anglo-Zambian wife, our sons, and all my fat little boyfriends, have mastered Telekinesis, only by watching The Pitt. Only by becoming Asian Chinese.

A win for free speech, a loss for Matt Taibbi.

@onesarahjones Will say that a lot of people have reported fewer side effects with a staggered dosing strategy if you ever decide to get back on a GLP-1.

[Sarah Jones @onesarahjones]

For months now, I've wanted to read a diabetic perspective on GLP-1s, and the distorted conversation we're having about them. So I wrote it myself. https://t.co/yNWYNYI2cv

A very illustrative and embarrassing example of the sort of fact checking some columnists are using AI for.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

I asked Claude AI to compare the Hasan Piker audience to the cringe wine moms at MSNOW.

"[O]n a normal night, MS NOW's primetime audience of roughly 900,000 is about 25 times larger than Piker's typical concurrent stream of 36,000."

What's your excuse for when I caught you plagiarizing at IJR more than a year later?
