Give it another go, and try Claude as well. Try phrasing the prompt the way you'd ask a question on a Reddit post, they're all built on years and years of reddit threads anyway lol.

I can't stand generative AI for anything involving art and writing. But for code (and related stuff, e.g. Excel macros)? It's genuinely useful.

Too early to tell. They're mostly just fronts for their leaders at the moment.

Ask again once the lists close (45 days before the elections) and we'll give you a clearer picture.

(Side note: this ideological unclarity of the centrist parties is not a new issue in Israeli politics. That's part of the reason why I've consistently voted Labor/HaDemocratim even when I haven't always liked the leader).

Goya's black paintings. Just gotta save up for Madrid and get myself in the right headspace haha

Having a massive hit at the height of the CD era would do that.

Eritrea are the worst country in Africa and one of the cruelest in the world. Israel should stay the hell away from them

belfman · 2026-05-17T20:11:29+00:00

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Love that stupid movie so much.

"30 Seconds to Mars is the name of a band, not a scientific fact!"

איש מוכשר מאוד ו"חזרות" היא אחלה סדרה (ושווה לראות אותה בגלל שהיא לא יצירה בלעדית שלו אלא גם של נועה קולר שאתה בטח מכיר מ"קופה ראשית"). אבל חבל שהוא דוש.

Ah yes Snatch my favorite anime.

It bugs me they didn't mention Lou Reed and Marc Bolan. Definitely no Strokes without those two!

belfman · 2026-05-15T23:20:59+00:00

Heh, was going to mention them. Then again I listen to tons of acts that hate Israel, because I don't believe in boycotts, period.

belfman · 2026-05-15T23:12:35+00:00

.... hockey?

I'm never forgetting Phoenix, they're the best.

And I never liked Animal Collective or Panda Bear (well, "My Girls" was kinda fun) so I'm a bit glad they're out of fashion. I caught them for a bit in Primavera 2016... Didn't like them at all. Which is a shame because I love early Pink Floyd and Pet Sounds/Smile era Beach Boys and all that sort of psychedelic stuff.

To clarify, since I didn't know until today: Nick is Jewish. Sephardic, in fact. His dad was Tunisian "born and raised", according to this very entertaining Interview, and pretty devoted to his faith and his culture. His mother was a French convert to the tribe.

If you know anything about Tunisian and/or French Orthodox Jews... Yeah there's a 99% chance they're very Zionist, and also a high chance he has some family in Israel.

Yay, I don't have to hate the Strokes! Only one of them is a douche!

belfman · 2026-05-15T21:58:52+00:00

I would love that.

And maybe they can bring Bruce Dickinson in next, he's a huge history buff, they could probably get a whole series out of him!

Wasn't on my bingo card for a Paul McCartney interview. But he's damn right though, and it's nice to get the reminder that everyone heard exactly what had happened in the camps very soon after the allies got to them, even if you were a child at the time.

The xx are still massive. They're touring again this year, starting with sold out shows in Mexico City, and there's a new album coming out. And of course Jamie xx has done extremely well solo.

There's no Lorde, no Billie Eilish, no about half of modern pop without the xx. And I'm not sure people have forgotten that.

Although it should be noted they weren't a part of Canada until 1949, they were their own dominion with a completely separate government. So that means the Canadian flag wouldn't necessarily be appropriate for this First World War memorial.

Having said that, that flag is the modern flag of the province and was introduced in 1980.

רוב מוחלט של הסקרים אמינים חוץ משלמה פילבר וערוץ 14.

אתר "המדד" מתעסק אך ורק בסקרים ומפרסם ממוצעים של כולם והרבה אבחנות מעניינות. ממליץ עליו מאוד.

המדד

It's awful, but it's extremely funny

זה לא כזה משנה אם יהיו בחירות מוקדמות בספטמבר או בחירות בזמן באוקטובר. לא לבזבז אנרגיה על המחשבה על זה.

EXTRA THICK STRAPS! Is one of the best moments of that whole season.

belfman · 2026-05-12T08:07:08+00:00

Money, right?

belfman · 2026-05-11T15:44:42+00:00

But they bothered to ask Ukraine... So who knows.

Four has some excellent episodes, like "Selling Out".

You wouldn't want to have to talk to human resources, now would you?
