@mixed_coffee I have a feeling that Pavi and her twin will be half Avatars, bending 2 elements each since they’re twins, along with a potential time skip/aging because of spirit world things, that’d be sick
@AbedEFLT@CUNY_Prof it’s an ethnoreligion, my family cannot really be traced back to any specific country as they moved each generation for example, yet my grandparents share genealogy.
BEAST GAME EPISODE 3 IS OUT NOW!
To celebrate, I'm giving away $100,000 total to 10 random people who like and retweet this post!
Go watch it here: https://t.co/Yntf9E7FTN
@Frostyyy599 @HabsOnReddit yes the best most likely scenario is Calgary picks 11th, since Florida going from Cup Final to basement of the league is highly unlikely. Thank you very much for the clarifications though, this helped a ton!
"I've been to a few Passover Seders, and it's so weird that the Passover story is so Jewish."
That should win a prize for one of the dumbest things ever written about Jews in the NY Times, and frankly, that's a pretty high bar to hurdle.
We are lost for words. This is outrageous
@CTVToronto you had 1 job. To report on the festivities kicking off in #Toronto for #Hanukkah, with the menorah lighting, and instead, you filled the segment with clips of #Palestinians & the war in #Gaza.
What were you thinking?
It’s not all Jews, just usurers
It’s not all Jews, just rootless cosmopolitans
It’s not all Jews, just Communists
It’s not all Jews, just capitalists
It’s not all Jews, just globalists
It’s not all Jews, just Zionists
We’ve seen it all before—different labels, same hatred.
🧵A long thread worth your time to debunk Israel genocide in Gaza. Claims of genocide often rely on analysis by Raz Segal as an "expert” on genocide. Analysis of his work and a group of recycled quotes by Israeli officials, now used by the media, shows it's all fabrication. 1/
After October 7, the political party which advocates for new Canadians "leaving their hatreds behind where they came from" is going to win a massive victory.
I'm hearing it everywhere.

This NYT piece is an endless stream of bangers.
I swear, one of the more destructive recent cultural trends has been the combined push to frame all distress or discomfort as mental illness, and then to encourage people to form their identity around being “mentally ill.”
Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States.
The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Many of them say that reading the letter has opened their eyes, and they’ll never see geopolitical matters the same way again.
Many of them — and I have watched a lot — say it has made them reevaluate their perspective on how what is often labeled as terrorism can be a legitimate form of resistance to a hostile power.
This is not limited to TikTok; similar videos have been posted on other social media platforms.
The Guardian had a copy of “Letter to America” posted, but once these TikToks went viral, the Guardian took it down, which has only led to more interest in the letter and conspiracies from TikTokers who say this is part of the media and the powers that control it trying to silence the truth.
1) There is no apartheid. There are nearly 2M Arabs in Israel with citizenship and full rights.
Palestinians in Gaza had their own area to control. They had their own government. They received billions in aid, which was split between corrupt theft and weapons. More aid per capita than any other place on earth and almost none of it used to benefit the people there. That was a choice that led to restrictions from both Israel AND Egypt on what they would let enter Gaza.
2) There is no genocide. Genocide is the intentional killing of a group of people with the intention of wiping them out. What Israel is doing, in providing evacuation routes, create safe corridors, limiting strikes etc. is the precise opposite of genocide. Which is especially apparent when you realize they have the capability to wipe out Gaza in hours and yet have consistently tried to minimize innocent deaths.
3) Painting Hamas as just 4 random terrorists with pistols is more gaslighting. Hamas has fired 11K+ rockets at Israeli cities and still fires daily. They have been stacking up military-grade weapons provided by Iran, building military infrastructure under civilian infrastructure to coordinate attacks and use civilians as shields for almost 2 decades. They executed one of the largest attacks in recent history on 10/7 and intentionally started a war with the knowledge that Israel would be forced to go after them in Gaza, the place they are in charge of, in response and that it would inevitably lead to extensive casualties there.
There is no country on earth that would allow a massacre of their own people followed by indiscriminate rocket attacks on their cities without trying to put a stop to it. And a ceasefire doesn’t do that, it just buys Hamas time to rearm and launch their next attack.
And btw Hamas actually knows Israel isn’t interested in genocide. Why do you think they put all their bases in hospitals and schools? There would be no benefit to doing so if they didn’t believe Israel would go out of its way to limit civilian casualties. It’s also why they are trying to keep Palestinian civilians from leaving those places now.
