Committee to Protect Journalists report says Israel also to blame for 81% of ‘intentionally targeted’ journalist killings

In several cases Israel has acknowledged targeting journalists in Gaza that it said had links to Hamas, without providing verifiable evidence. International news organisations have strongly denied that reporters who were killed had links to militants. The CPJ called such allegations by Israel “deadly smears”.

Its report said at least 104 of the 129 journalists killed died in connection with conflicts. Apart from Gaza and Yemen, the deadliest countries for journalists included Sudan, where nine were killed, and Mexico, where six died. Three journalists died in the Philippines and four Ukrainian journalists were killed by Russian forces, it said.

Among those killed in Gaza was the Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri, who died in August while operating a live video feed at Nasser hospital.

During the attack, Anas al-Sharif, who was one of Al Jazeera’s most recognisable faces in Gaza, was killed too. Al-Sharif left a poignant final message entrusting his family to the public, specifically mentioning his daughter, Sham.

“This is my will and my final message,’’ read the statement which was published posthumously on Anas al-Sharif’s X account. “If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.”

That strike also killed four other journalists, as reported in the same article.

“No, APA’s position has not changed,” says a representative speaking for the APA, attaching a link to their 2024 policy statement which provided broad support for gender-affirming care. “APA continues to support unobstructed access to evidence-based care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals of all ages.”

Here's a link to the APA statement:

It looks like this was spurred on by the Jesse Singal article posted in the NYT:

Singal tried to use the recent American Society of Plastic Surgeons position statement against trans people under the age of 19 receiving surgery (which was published by the organization's president, Bob Basu, a Trump donor and supporter, without any scientific or expert review) as evidence that the scientific consensus in favor of trans healthcare for minors (i.e. preventing trans youth from going through the wrong puberty) was "cracking" ... when the reality seems to be that the evidence is clearly in favor of those interventions like puberty blockers, and that the "wait and see" approach that causes trans youth to go through the wrong puberty causes increased suicide risk.

Just kidding for legal reasons I am actual proposing prolonging Mr. Bloodfeast's life. That's what this means. Life support. Because we support and care. For our senior citizens.

Amazon is telling people who use its wishlists feature to switch to post office boxes or non-residential delivery addresses if they want to ensure their home addresses remain private, as part of a change in how it processes gifts bought from third-party sellers. The change is especially concerning to many sex workers, influencers and public figures who use Amazon wishlists to receive gifts from fans and clients.

First spotted by adult content creators raising the alarm on social media, the changes open anyone who uses wishlists publicly to increased privacy risk unless they change how they receive packages.

In an email sent to list holders, Amazon said beginning March 25, it will reveal users’ shipping addresses to third-party sellers. The platform added that gift purchasers might end up seeing your address as part of this process, too.

There is no more mystery about which astronaut suffered a medical issue aboard the International Space Station last month, prompting NASA's first-ever medical evacuation.

Astronaut Mike Fincke, 58, has identified himself as the one who was in need of help in a statement published by NASA on Wednesday.

"On Jan. 7, while aboard the International Space Station, I experienced a medical event that required immediate attention from my incredible teammates," Fincke said in the statement.

Fincke said he's "doing very well" and is still undergoing "post-flight reconditioning," though he did not specify what health issue prompted the need for medical evacuation.

Moral of the story: words mean things. Don't trust memes just because they drew an authoritative source.

Yes theft of surplus value matters too. So say that instead if that's what you mean.
