Meet inside The Shops at Waterloo Town Square - we will congregate in the seating area next to the Valu-Mart with the trees sticking out in the middle of the benches at 7pm for 15 minutes, and then head over to my nearby apartment's amenity room. If you've been around a few times, feel free to meet up at my apartment front door for 7:30 instead. (There is free city parking at Bridgeport and Regina, 22 Bridgeport Rd E.) 

Discussion

This week let's dive into Scott's posts on whether the media lies, and discuss how much we think he's been owned in the comments. (I would expect answers along the entire range of "he's not owned and his argument is perfectly cromulent" to "dude he got owned so hard I have secondhand embarrassment".)

Probably we'll end up talking about the latest development in the Israel/Palestine conflict as well, focusing on media portrayals of the two sides. Post particularly egregious examples in the Discord.
