Yes a bagle is bread but so it a hot dog bun or a pizza crust or hardtack

Like, American immigrants create hybridized cuisines/dishes all the time, and over time they become “different,” and often anglicized. Over decades this often becomes the non-ethnic-ethnic food, like “Taco Bell.” Right? But Jewish food…not only becomes mainstream, but popularized as explicitly non-kosher (with bacon) and then further so very popularized that way that people think it’s wrong or abnormal to eat Jewish food non-Jewishly. I’d be interested to know about like other examples of this. 

[1] Here’s an article from the Atlantic which covers a book that discusses the history of the bagel moving from rounded bread baked similar to a pretzel, to what we know as a bagel:

Going back a bit, at the same time Germans were making their way to Poland, so too were a good number of Jews, which is where my ancestors would have gotten involved. In that era it was quite common in Poland for Jews to be prohibited from baking bread. This stemmed from the commonly held belief that Jews, viewed as enemies of the Church, should be denied any bread at all because of the holy Christian connection between bread, Jesus, and the sacrament. Strange though it sounds, Jews were often legally banned from commercial baking.

The bagel as Jewish food really came of age during the era of Polish history known as the “Nobles’ Democracy.” While intolerance and conflict reigned elsewhere, Poland was probably the preeminent country for tolerance, acceptance, education, and understanding. Unlike almost every other country in Europe, Poles identified themselves as citizens of their country rather than of any divisive framework based on religious, ethnic, or linguistic origins. This mindset created the environment where Jews were first allowed the opportunity to bake, and then sell, bread – of which bagels were an integral part.

The shift started to take place in the late 13th century. Balinska refers to the breakthrough code that came from the Polish Prince Boleslaw the Pious in 1264 that said, “Jews may freely buy and sell and touch bread like Christians.” To quote Balinska, “This was a radical step, so radical that (in reaction) in 1267 a group of Polish bishops forbade Christians to buy any foodstuffs from Jews, darkly hinting that they contained poison for the unsuspecting gentile.” At some point, the theory goes, Jews were allowed to work with bread that was boiled, and they created the bagel to comply with his ruling.

The hedge funds never actually owned these shares to begin with because they were short selling so they never actually paid for them.

Redditors saw this and decided to buy up all these shorted shares to gamestop a company that wasnt failing that the hedge funds would then be forced to buy back as they never actually owned the shares.

rich hedge funds have the ability to sell stocks they havent paid for yet that other people actually own and then pay for them after a certain amount of time. they can sell these stocks trade them whatever but they will eventually have to buy them back.

So they shorted gamestop shares from 20 dollars all the way down to 3 dollars, meaning they borrowed shares to then massively sell.

they sold shares at like 20 dollars and then 18, etc. and because when investors see massive amounts of shares being sold they get nervous and then sell their shares which drives the price of the stock ever further down.

so they took something worth 20 that they sold for 20 dollars and all its downward prices and instead of paying for it at $3 dollars they thought theyd CONTINUE to short the market, meaning they kept driving the prices down because apparently this obscene amount of money wasnt good enough.

Redditors who dont say the stock market is magic and mystical astrology saw this very obvious evidence that these hedge funds would be forced to buy back all these fucking gamestop shares and decided to drive the price of these shares up knowing that the hedge funds would then be forced to buy back the shares they have yet to pay for at increasingly wild prices.

what they were looking for was over 100% of all stocks shorted on a company that wasnt even failing or in complete disarray

they used this knowledge to bring stock that was 20 dollars brought down to $3 all the way back up to $140

the hedge funds still have to pay for all of those shares they never technically even owned in the first place which these redditors knew so they held onto these stocks they bought in a company whose shares were oversold.

INSTEAD of acknowledging this they decided to have media campaigns lie and make the stock market look even more mystical and crazy to people who dont know shit about finance so that your average folks wouldnt catch them in the act of just getting a fucking 2 billion dollar bailout for being greedy fucking pieces of shit.

They also dont want your average person to KNOW they do this shit especially when they drive shares so deep into the ground ($3)

TL;DR: Every time you call the stock market magic and mystical and ooo makes no sense, you pretty much allow these motherfuckers to get away with robbery of the average person (given a government bailout is paying for this)

Understanding how these things happen and knowing what to look for allows people to work together and not only stop it but rob back from the billionaires when they pull this shit.

I need you all to prepare yourselves to vote for Biden in November.  

I’m not happy about it either.  I wanted Elizabeth Warren to destroy Trump on the debate floor.  I wanted to watch her shatter the glass ceiling.  I wanted student loan forgiveness, Medicare for All, and refugee and immigrant protections.

But I’m not going to get that.  So I am going all in for Biden.

This can no longer be a matter of “well if I don’t get my way THEN I’M NOT VOTING”.  I’d hoped you all learned your lessons four years ago, but from what I’ve seen on social media, that’s not been the case.  Biden is not ideal but he is better than the alternative.  He is a Democrat who will continue Obama’s legacy.  And you have a shot in hell of getting progressive movements like Medicare for All under a blue majority Congress; we do not have that under Trump.  

Biden is more willing to listen to the progressive factions of the Democrat party than Trump is.  We will get shit done under him.    

The reality is that we live in a two party system and while I do not want Biden, I am capable of recognizing nuance and shades of gray. If it comes down to Biden, as it very likely may he will not do as much damage as four more years of Trump, and that is an ethical imperative. 

And here’s the White House going dark after protests breakout in front

It is your CIVIC DUTY to vote and make sure that the country doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Yes you. The one reading this. IT IS YOUR DUTY.

I know this is a clothespin vote (this is my first election, and it really sucks that I hate both candidates) but if you don’t go out there and vote this coming November, I don’t want to hear any bitching and moaning when Trump wins and Roe v Wade or some other essential human right is taken away.

Don't get scammed.

Don't spread hoaxes and myths.

This "the Wachowski Sisters stole the Matrix" thing is based on a lawsuit that was dismissed in 2004. The judges explanation of dismissal is nearly 60 pages detailing each claim and Sophia Stewart was never awarded copyright ownership of these franchises and never won any element of the case. It isn't an ongoing lawsuit and the story is often used by folks as a fundraising scam.

The same story was going around when I was in highschool more than 10 years ago, nearly word for word I swear, just change the most recent/upcoming court dates. If I found what was circulating back then it wouldn't surprise me if the reference numbers were the same.

The above image looks like its giving references, but is it? In which court were these actions filed by the plaintiff? How is anybody supposed to check this?

This is simply not true. It takes advantage of the fact that the intellectual property of poc is routinely stolen, it takes advantage of a community that wants justice for that, and it creates a climate of doubt... there is real work being stolen, but this isn't it.
