I don’t have anything especially helpful to share, but maybe it’s not so widely known that anyone can run their own ActivityPub instance and avoid some of the collateral damage caused by other admins.

Whether or not THC affects thyroid hormones, weed use does not show up on a blood test for thyroid function.

I don’t know where you live or the relevant laws, but you should have confidentiality with your doctors and you should not have to hide any drug use from them.

Double entry bookkeeping.

Solution? I never said I had a solution. I am just trying to explain why many people including myself think it is bad to vote for the genocide lady.

After what we’ve allowed and contributed to in Gaza, maybe we don’t deserve another election.

My position isn’t based on counterfactuals. It is that Harris and the Democrats need to be held accountable, by at least losing the election, for complicity to the Palestinian genocide; that it is unconscionable to reward them with another term in the White House.

Over a period of about six years and three US presidential administrations, the death toll in the Yemen war is estimated to have reached 377,000. In just over a year, solely under the Biden-Harris administration, 335,500 are estimated to have died in Gaza. Based on the death rate and the relative sizes of the affected populations, it’s clear who has more blood on their hands. Furthermore, support from the Biden-Harris administration has continued even though Israeli leaders have come right out and admitted their genocidal intent. The MBS regime certainly did commit atrocities in Yemen with catastrophic effects, but in that case at least there’s a shred of deniability regarding complicity to genocide. Harris has no excuse for continuing to support Israel, but the weapons and financing keep flowing. Therefore we have no excuse to support her.

That certainly seems to be the thinking of the Harris campaign.

He’s got a ways to go to prove himself more evil than Harris.

Electing Trump means Harris loses, which means that enough voting Americans believe that genocide is unacceptable to have held her as accountable as our system allows. It will be read as better than the alternative. Electing Harris means that we’ve been sold on genocide by a campaign that has embraced the Cheneys of all people.

The message would be that voting Americans are not okay with genocide. Harris is actually culpable, while the idea that Trump would be significantly worse for the Palestinians and Lebanese is just hypothetical. Trump is actually the lesser of two evils this time. The allegations against him don’t amount to genocide by a long shot.

Losing the election is the only kind of accountability Harris and the Democrats are likely to face for their part in the genocide. Otherwise, what incentive is there for either party to ever oppose it? What message would Americans be sending to the world that we would keep in office someone who’s been actively supporting a genocide?

Yeah. Non-zero chance something happened to her outside of the oven and someone put her body in there.

My house in the winter if I let my wife have free reign over the thermostat.

Thank you. The article was not paywalled for me and I am not a Washington Post subscriber.

I know it’s a seller’s market, but God damn!

What was he doing in Jabalia?

Drinking less. I saw an unflattering photo of myself and then decided to cut my alcohol consumption in half. It’s been a couple years and I look and feel a lot better.

Most of them. I read a recent article that interviewed a holdout. I’m sure there are others.
