Iโ€™m worried for youโ€”and us. Have you considered the possibility that heโ€™s telling you the truth? So say we all.

You can actually be both simultaneously. They arenโ€™t at odds with one another.

Audio clip from The Opinions podcast episode to provide full quote and context. The entire topic is interesting, but this bit about the co-opting of the body positivity movement is one of my soapboxes, so I was happy to see some discussion about it.

โ€œThe body positivity movementโ€ฆ got co-opted by the wellness movement, and so people stopped using language like, โ€˜Oh, Iโ€™m doing this to be thin.โ€™ And instead changed their language to: โ€˜Iโ€™m doing this to be healthy.โ€™ But healthy was always synonymous with thinnessโ€ฆโ€ โ€” Jessica Grose via @nytimes.com

Some interesting context from the researcher who coined the term, via the @nytimes.com Instagram post about the article.

That seems valid to me, even if Israelโ€™s response is wildly disproportionate and inhumane. October 7th was a clear provocation. Both can be true. Acknowledging thereโ€™s also a historical context and foundation here thatโ€™s not irrelevant.

No shade on this episode, but: Nobody should accuse this Supreme Courtโ€”and especially its conservative majority!โ€”as consisting of โ€œRadical Feministsโ€, independent of how โ€œTrans Exclusionaryโ€ they may be. We too often use the term โ€œTERFโ€ when โ€œtransphobicโ€ or just simply โ€œbigotโ€ are more appropriate.

I was just hoping to double dip. And, perhaps, get some relevant dating advice.

I love the characterization of ChatGPT as Bullshit as a Service. Though a close second is Mansplaining as a Service.

Iโ€™m happy someoneโ€”outside of domestic companies uninvolved in global tradeโ€”is making money off of this news!

Was inspired to do my first political cartoon today, based on a NY Times photo I saw yesterday.

Though, I suspect, the association of such rhetoric with Trump has just made it less fashionable to talk about on the Left, while making it more palatable in what was not long ago still referred to as the โ€œParty of Free Tradeโ€.

If thereโ€™s a silver lining: It seems the protectionist faction of the Left peaked during Bernie Sanderโ€™s primary campaign, and perhaps Trumpโ€™s blatant mercantilism has inoculated the Left from such zero sum thinking.

We wonโ€™t be surprised by this weekโ€™s news, as it was a top campaign promise.Itโ€™s nevertheless dispiriting.

What I responded to eight years ago pales next to what weโ€™re seeing todayโ€”what I ever even imagined!โ€”though itโ€™s the culmination of increasingly protectionist rhetoric over the last decades.
