In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.) The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

I would like to thank @elizkolbert.bsky.social for what she wrote years ago that helps explain why, yet again, we seem hell-bent on making the most irrational decisions imaginable. www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

Spending Xmas alone (not for sad reasons) and torn between the strong desire to spend the next 3 days unsupervised on the slopes 🏂 and the stronger impulse to obey Newton’s laws and remain at rest 🫠

“This reality highlights the difference between media (what people consume) and reporting (a set of standards for pursuing fact-based information).” With reporting on the decline and media being crowdsourced on Twitter, our dysfunction will only increase. www.axios.com/2024/12/20/g...

bbc.com/news/article... Well, this is infuriating. But it’s Florida and so somehow that makes sense.

Hard to argue. Of course no one should have to worry about this at all - but protecting the most vulnerable should take priority. Where is THEIR security detail?

Strong “We’re gonna fund Ukraine’s defense, and Russia will pay for it” vibes (but for real).

Accusations that the right want to pull us back to the 1950s are, perhaps, a little overly generous. The article itself doesn’t make the above assertion, but it’s not a stretch to hypothesize that discarding science and fact in favor of ideological outcomes will be increasingly normalized.

The Bluesky honeymoon period is coming to an end (if it hasn’t come already). But thankfully, I’ve seen more people commenting on the influx of garbage than actual garbage, for which I’m very thankful. Keep the Block Hammer close.

Reinforce and share the positive, good things you see. Starve the garbage of oxygen. I find that hard to argue with.

My daughter insisted we listen to Who Let The Dogs Out and did you know there are other parts in that song?

This is my favorite thing I’ve read on this site so far. And I’ve read a lot of things I really, really emphatically nod my head in violent agreement with.

Watched “Raya and the Last Dragon” with my 4 yr old. It was good in its own right but it will forever hold a place with me because it moved her to tears. Which moved me to tears. I asked her if she liked it and she said, very quietly, “I loved it” and held her hands to her heart. Good movie.
