Whoa! 😱 #no

"An analysis … has found that the National Post newspaper regularly rewrites Canadian Press news stories about Israel and Gaza, inserting different language while still identifying the stories as originating with CP. Among other changes, references to Palestinian “militants” or “fighters” were regularly replaced with “terrorists,” the phrase “pro-Palestinian” changed to “anti-Israel.”

Have National Post Editors Gone Too Far?

@evan @mayintoronto I did not answer, because I don't think of it as "posting memes" but as "sharing things I hope will make others smile or think". I guess some of them are memes, I don't really think about that. Ex: sometimes what I share is a real story or image, in the context of current events, is for me a metaphor - turning an actual thing into a meme. Ex: news story about a tesla on fire.

@evan @mayintoronto is a boost a post? Or do you mean original memes?

@Viss @bmacDonald94 thanks, I needed that!

@lloydlemons @bmacDonald94 😰 tonight I've been watching "5 days at Memorial" about Hurricane Katrina ... without government help, it can be unimaginably horriffic for the most vulnerable.

@lloydlemons @bmacDonald94 the story told in that series is, in fact, largely without goverment assistance, sadly. I had to stop watching, for now - it was terrible 😭

😂 Trudeau ups his sock game, now includes shoes:

"Trudeau attends throne speech in bright green and orange Adidas ‘retirement runners’"

@vfrmedia @Thoreau @bmacDonald94 😖🤣

@evan intentionally: never

@Thoreau @bmacDonald94 second time I see "harissa" here this week, so I looked it up. Mmm, sounds good!

I think I saw this plot line in a scifi dystopia ...
We have reached this point.

Tax the f***ing rich, and help people survive in better ways than this. 😤

@evan @mayintoronto although, just lately, more frequently because I'm less panicked about ekections and have time to read history and art history as it pops up on Fedi :-)
Hurray for post-election filters 🤭

@helenclayton @bmacDonald94 gorgeous

Hmm. Perhaps WWE wrestling and Trumpian politics have more in common than I'd thought?
