Neat. This is great info.

100%, although let's be real: would it surprise anyone if Starmer responded by apologizing firing his press secretary, claiming he was misrepreaented, and jumping into the war in Iran before announcing the UK's withdrawal two weeks later after some British troops are killed on an accidental Israeli airstrike?

I don't think there's a bottom to his craven incompetence.

Yeah. Slice it and put it on a sandwich with a fried egg. Or chop it when it's still firm and throw it in a salad. It's good, but it's not really for eating like an apple. They added creaminess and texture to savory things.

See this is what a good clapback looks like

I think this joke is only 40% true, but also still very funny.

I'm glad this meme belongs to the commons because I'm going to make extensive collective use of it.

I posted the meme as a lighthearted joke, but if I can be serious for a moment, the joke isn't that reading isn't useful. It's ridiculing the practice of approaching Marxist texts in a way similar to religious or academic study. It's also (lovingly) ridiculing mutual aid radicals with an overly simplistic worldview.

Reading is good. Although I recommend people read the things that they're interested in and that they think would help them in their goals, and not fall into the practice of assigning other people reading or falling into a mentality of chasing after a complete understanding of subjects no one can ever understand to completion.

I don't get this. Can you explain this?

Surprise twist: I am aware anarchists like reading; I like reading; and I'm not actually an anarchist!

It's just a fun meme making fun of upright overly intellectual Marxist-Leninists (that part is sincere).

I could be wrong here, but I suspect the headline is another unfortunate example of Israeli Palestinian erasure.

When they say that this is widely supported across Israelis, they likely mean Israeli Jews.

It's sad to see from the middle east eye. Obviously Israeli and American media promulgates the myth that to be Israeli means being Jewish. But I would hope that at least Arab media would constantly remind audiences that one in five Israeli citizens are Arabs living without meaningful political agency under a ruthless Apartheid regime.

I suspect they're less enthusiastic about another ethnonationalist religious imperialist war of aggression. But it's hard to know what they think, as I rarely see their preferences interrogated or reported on, except perhaps by +972 Magazine.
