I can never get the reverse rainbow, because while I can pretty consistently spot the purple first, determining which of the remaining three is the blue feels completely random most of the time.

Rare case where the song in a movie about writing a really good song is actually legitimately really good.

This is very obviously a photoshopped image passed around by people making fun of Jews. Please apply even a little bit of critical thinking to things you repost.

It is very obviously a photoshopped picture passed around by anti-Israel posters. If you think this is real you are incredibly dumb.

Polarization makes people so dumb. Think for even two seconds if this is more likely to be an actual screenshot of a real Israeli food blog, or a photoshopped meme passed around by anti-Israel posters.

If you search the text of the post, the only hits are a engagement-farming meme accounts, and an Israeli food blog that has that exact formatting but does not have a gumbo recipe. It's clearly a photoshopped meme passed around by anti-Israeli accounts.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I mean, they agree that they don't like his statement, but not exactly a meeting of the minds. And I have to say I find one side significantly more repellent there. The outright denialism / ok-but-if-it-did-happen-then-they-deserved-it about Oct7 from some lefties has been shocking.

Reminds me of how people are somehow still unaware that Forbes dot com is a content mill basically anyone can pay-to-publish on which has nothing to do with the print magazine.

This feels like people getting excited about the fabulous possibilities of Doritos-flavoured cigarettes you can use to place sports bets. None of this seems good. Social and regulatory norms haven’t even caught up to human-created addictive short video content yet, and now we want to automate it?

It’s funny, on Twitter I’m seeing Israel supporters tearing him down for only having one para actually about Oct7 in his Oct7 statement before he pivots to criticizing Israel, meanwhile his hardcore pro-pal supporters are enraged at him for even having that one para.

YVES ENGLER HASNT EVEN APPLIED TO RUN FOR NDP LEADERSHIP???????????

And he’s been accepting donations while implying he applied but hasn’t been approved yet???

Omg 🤦‍♀️

Article here: www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
TORONTO STAR article except reads: “"It has recently come to my attention that Mr. Yves Engler has been sharing with the media that he has not yet been approved ... to stand as an official leadership candidate. I would like to clarify that we are not in receipt of an application from Mr. Engler, and as such he has no current standing within the leadership contest," chief electoral officer Éric Hébert-Daly said.”
