LJ ❤️ Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I'll drift about forever, all my atoms, until I find you again...
They are hoping that Kim K will do for F1 what TS did for American Football (when she started attending TK’s games) and trying to draw in more viewership👀
@Anele To be fair, generally when writing the title of a film or novel, if you cannot underline it (which is what should be done) or italicize it, it’s written in inverted commas as a last resort👀
Hey @Vodacom instead of having a call center salesperson fight with me about NOT upgrading a product I do not use but cannot cancel as you make it so incredibly hard to do, go update your app and give me the option to cancel a service without having to jump through hoops
Ozempic does not “force” a caloric deficit like a cattle prod. It changes appetite signaling, satiety, gastric emptying, insulin secretion, glucagon, and in many patients improves glycemic control, fatty liver markers, and cardiometabolic risk. That is metabolism.
The phrase “chemical crutch” is just moralizing in a lab coat. We do not call insulin a crutch, or antihypertensives a crutch, or glasses a crutch. We call them treatment.
And this obsession with “root cause” is usually a racket. Obesity and metabolic disease are not one thing with one sacred origin story. They are genetics, appetite regulation, food environment, insulin resistance, sleep, medications, activity, and yes, inflammation. GLP-1 drugs act on several of those pathways at once.
So no, this is not merely appetite suppression while the “real problem” hides in the basement. It is treatment of the very systems that are dysregulated. The scale is not the only outcome, but pretending improved blood sugar, less visceral fat, and better metabolic function do not count because a drug was involved is ideology, not medicine.
50 Cent can produce four hours about another man’s violence toward women while his own history goes unquestioned. That’s not incidental to hip-hop’s reckoning with misogyny. It IS the reckoning. My latest: https://t.co/7MmPLf5cI4
