Tell me a story about yourself the sounds like a lie but is absolutely true.

Printing “redesigning the bus network is literally Naziism” in the newspaper is the logical endpoint of one side of Transplant Discourse. The author of this story even frames it that way explicitly!
Local Stephon Richardson said he believes City Hall is dangling the plans to appease transplants who can be politically swayed but might not stick around long enough in the neighborhood to feel the impacts.

Canadaland’s Jesse Brown posting on Facebook

Just announced: I’ll be moderating a debate between Toronto's mayoral candidates on the subject of public safety to Jews during the worst surge of anti-Jewish bigotry in Toronto's history. 

Critics are appalled, and say I couldn't possibly be impartial. They are correct. 

I am not objective about universal human rights. I believe they extend to Jews. This has become controversial to many - a partisan issue.

Mayor Olivia Chow will be treated fairly at this debate, should she participate.

Fun Virgin fact: The first time anyone got annoyed with Richard Branson was during the recording of Virgin Records' first-ever release, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells (1973). It ended up being the catalyst for a really vital part of prog rock history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular...
The "caveman" section is the only part of Tubular Bells that features a drum kit, which is played by Steve Broughton of the Edgar Broughton Band. The section begins with a backing track of bass and drums, with Oldfield overdubbing all other instruments. The shouting vocals developed near the end of the recording, when he had practically finished recording the instruments for the section, but felt it needed something else. Heyworth recalled that Branson was getting impatient and pressured Oldfield to deliver the album, and to include vocals on one of the tracks so he could release it as a single. Angered by Branson's suggestion, Oldfield returned to the Manor, where he drank half a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey from the studio's cellar and demanded that the engineer take him to the studio where, intoxicated, he "screamed his brains out for 10 minutes" into a microphone. The incident left Oldfield so hoarse that he was unable to speak for two weeks. The engineer ran the tape at a higher speed during the recording, so that upon playback, the tape ran at normal speed, thus dropping the pitch of the voice track and producing the "Piltdown Man" vocals listed on the credits.

AI slop Facebook meme from some guy named Jeffrey Wiesenfeld with the tagline “THE USELESS IMBECILES RAISED BY OUR UNIVERSITIES.”

The meme is of an attracting twentysomething white woman on the phone saying “Gotta go, Jennifer. Door Dash is here and my Uber is waiting to take me to the Unaffordability Rally.” She’s wearing torn jeans, has a blonde ponytail, and is wearing a white FREE 🇵🇸 PALESTINE t-shirt. The Doordash guy and an Uber are waiting outside her nice looking suburban home. She has two framed diplomas (“UC BERKELEY Women’s Studies” and “PhD Women’s Studies Cornell”), and a stack of “Student loan–past due” papers on her desk. Her coffee mug says “I NEED COFFEE & THERAPY”.Jeff’s Facebook page

Facebook post from Assemblyman Robert Auth (bluecheck)

NEW DEM POLICY TAKING EFFECT IN NJ TODAY:

Do you remember the last time you drove away from a drive thru and found out there were no utencils and napkins in the bag? Now they're doing it to you on purpose. Restaurants are no longer allowed to give you utensils, napkins, or condiments for takeout and delivery orders unless you specifically request them.

It's sad that Democrats have controlled the legislature for over a quarter of a century and instead of addressing the real issues facing our state, Democrats have chosen to pick away at the little conveniences we used to have, first bags at the supermarket, then straws, and now basic takeout essentials. If you've had enough, VOTE REPUBLICAN. Please like and share this post and follow my page for more.Image from the same post (text all caps)

[in a red box] REMEMBER TO ASK FOR UTENSILS

[white box] IF YOU LIKE YOUR TAKE OUT TO COME WITH UTENSILS NAPKINS, CONDIMENTS

FOR YOU!

there is a disembodied hand pointing at you in the foreground.

In the background is an AI image of a subtly mangled hand sticking out of a prefab looking drive thru, attempting to hand a brown paper bag to another subtly mangled hand sticking out of a car. The second hand has failed to grasp the handle, and is sort of floating against the side of the bag.

If you look closely, you can see that the car in the drive thru is going in the opposite direction as all the other cars in its lane.
