I’ve been trying to compile an adult Christmas playlist, which acknowledges the frustrations and disappointments of the season along with the magic, for YEARS. Very difficult to do with a toddler who only wants Grandma Got Run Over on loop.
This playlist, so far, scratches the itch. Will steal.

every year, i add a few more songs to my masterlist of Christmas music. so here is this year's new and elongated UNCANNY X-MAS holiday playlist for all your present wrapping, snow shoveling, merry making and Christ contemplating needs. About 8 hours of Christmas music, some of it quite good:

Yup… except my kids developed a taste for Fitz and the Tantrums.
A thing about being a parent is that it’ll morph your music algorithms something fierce.
My apps: “Here’s some recommended music for you! It’s 2 indie folk songs and 20 different versions of Itsy Bitsy Spider, just like we know you like!”

Just finished listening to Charles Sumner: Conscience of a Nation by Zaakir Tameez. I’ve recently committed to learning more about American history, and this book crossed my timeline a little while back. It’s good!
Thanks, Libby!

How come THIS story never made it into the Rankin Bass specials?
#COMPANIONSofCHRISTMAS: Mrs. Claus!
Mrs. Claus was once better known by her given name, Alba. She was the nymph of the silver fir tree, a captain in the retinue of the goddess Artemis, and she first met Saint Nicolas when he came to do battle with her Lady. 1/

Look, I’m always gonna love those Disney dubs of the Ghibli films with the behind-the scenes featurettes. Not sure they’re the highest quality dubs ever (the men almost always act like their direction was “Valium”), but you can tell that the performers were all just happy to be there.
Amazon has rolled out AI dubbed anime and I’m truly appalled. Like it or loathe it, the medium has a rich, incredible history of English performances. There’s already a million reasons to hate Amazon, but fuck me.
I wanna hear about your fav dub. Your fav VA. Let’s celebrate these folks. 💜

Making the turkey for my in-laws this year. So far, I think we’re off to a good start.
America’s Test Kitchen has a recipe for a braised turkey. As I’ve botched whole birds in years past, this is a safer way for me to approach the bird.

So I love superheroes… AND this is a huge problem with the genre.
Very curious to see what an anti-fascist superhero could look like.

Alan Moore, the author of Watchmen, on superheroes
!["Heroes,
" Moore says, "are dangerous." And the
superhero narrative in particular is a fascist "power fantasy," a "white-supremacist dream of a master race," one that now, with the explosive success of the MCU and its multimedia sprawl, has saturated the culture so completely as to have trickled into the ground water, and polluted even our political storytelling, such that - as he explained on the How To Academy podcast — "the fantastic [and] unbelievable threat" that we've come to expect in our shows, movies, games, comics, novels — it'll get absorbed, as an effectively simple storytelling device, by the nightly news, and the political commentariat, so that it manifests in daily life as "the underground Democrat paedo demons that were suggested by Anon, and the equally- unbelievable superhero savior that is working behind the scenes to rescue us all will be 'The
Donald,' who's even got a superhero name."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4d76fjna5nxqsy2fu6cgmp3/bafkreifkgk66a3joonboyqqaxncsmbotyr5dqoqeho3darggclovnfp4ky@jpeg)

I don’t know if it’s a hot take to say The Lego Movie was better than Barbie.
But it was.
But it was.
Watched “The Lego Movie” with my kids (their first time, my Nth) and am newly amazed by how over-stuffed with ideas it is. You know how everybody was so excited that “Barbie” was a toy movie that was so smart and relevant? Miller and Lord did it better and ten years earlier.

Speaking as a long time Batman fan: the best way to cope with the massive inconsistencies of really long, serialized stories is to just cling to the stuff you love and ignore the rest.

NEW: Churches in Charlotte are hosting trainings on how to response to ICE agents — with *hundreds* filling pews.
At one training, a child led those gathered in "This Little Light of Mine" — but changed the words to “All around Border Patrol, I’m gonna let it shine" religionnews.com/2025/11/20/a...

As ICE descends on Charlotte, faith leaders draw on other cities' actions to aid immigrants
(RNS) — As many as 500 people, a mix of clergy and other volunteers, have appeared at the training sessions on how to counter ICE.

Probably well-known history for most D&D fans “on here,” but a good read nonetheless.
Especially love how Serwer gives the final word to a black woman.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This is the sort of art I want from UB - recognizable character designs done in a solid Magic style.
When I was studying the new cards, I had to stop and admire this artwork. Not only because it was my cosplay from MagicCon Atlanta, Mai. I can picture this fight from the show in my head & it's so cool to see it in a more Magic style of art.

The fact that I finished this up AFTER trick or treating hopefully shows dedication to the cause of Inktober.
