Look, if it makes you uncomfortable to be reminded that you would have disappeared a baby that a huge part of the population worships as the Son of God— THAT IS THE ENTIRE-ASS POINT.
A tweet from @chrisjollyhale: NEW: ICE's acting director has told a suburban Boston parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene - stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message "ICE WAS HERE." The parish priest is refusing, citing Pope Leo XIV's call to stand with migrants. And then a reply from @LizMair: You can agree with the parish priest or disagree but a limb of the government should not be telling him what to say on matters of faith. Clear effort to violate the First Amendment.

Ohhhh, li’l Baldo Timmy Beanie, I have some terrible news for you!
A thing from Tim Poole’s little podcast or whatever where he claims that “WOKE HAS INFECTED GOTH, PUNK, & METAL, FT. PHIL LABONTE, GOTH DADDY, GASOLINE INVERTEBRATE” It’s exactly as hilarious as you think.

In case you were wondering, yes we sang it. That pleased me.

In case you were also wondering, NO we did not sing the Sister Act version. That did not please me.

They also reversed new policies to restrict anesthesia during surgery and some states implemented bills to perform audits on the "accidental" denial rate of covered claims.

I don’t approve of murder no matter what, but you cannot look me in the face and tell me that this one didn’t move the needle.
We CAN change this system. We've seen it begin. Blackrock is suing UnitedHealth for providing too much care after the CEO got Luigi'd. That means there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people who physically and financially benefited directly from Luigi's actions. He saved lives. There are literally more humans alive today, with Thompson unalived.

When you’re right you’re right, and I’ll be the first to say so. That essay gargled Satan’s taint, with teeth somehow. It was bad. I give it 2 years before this guy’s no longer a Republican.
A post from user jamescrockerrr: The Chairman of the Oklahoma College Republicans has released a statement CONDEMNING Samantha Fulnecky's clout chasing: (Screenshot of statement from Conner Tranquill, Chairman of the Oklahoma College Republicans) The academic quality of the essay written by Samantha Fulnecky is indefensible, and the professor's failing grade is demonstrably correct. For TPUSA's OU chapter to elevate this poorly written paper suggests a serious lapse in judgment. The essay not only fails to meet basic college requirements-such as citing its primary source, the Bible-but fundamentally misses the assignment's objective. This episode is a characteristic political misstep that risks harming the credibility of conservative student organizations. The lesson is paramount: focus on academic excellence, utilize scholarly sources, and meet the professor's demands. We should be engaging in substantive intellectual battles, not generating outrage over an earned poor grade. We are not the party of participation trophies. Do the work and earn the grade, or fail on the merits. Conner Tranquill

This explains everything about what they do to Miles O’Brien from Season 2 onward… 😆
An interview on Irish broadcaster RTÉ with Colm Meaney, the actor that played Chief Miles O’Brien on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” Meaney: So I was never actually cast in DS9. I just showed up in costume and refused to leave...so they just kept adding more and more suffering to Miles throughout the series hoping I’d quit… Joke was on them I'm into that shit. Me man didn't raise a quitter.

God is good, those fake-ass Christians had it too good for too long. 🥰

From all of us, including myself and schmergo: thank you. 🥹🥰♥️
A post from user schmergo on Dec 30, 2020: To all the parents out there who bundle their babies up in the winter time with those little hats with the little ears that make them look like little teddy bears: You are doing the lord's work. Seeing tiny ewoks toddle across the grocery store parking lot is just what we all need sometimes. My joy is immeasurable and my day is restored.

There’s good evidence for Japanese people coming to the Viceroyalty of New Spain on the Manila Galleons starting in the early 17th century. Japantown in Mexico City is one of the oldest in the Americas, over 400 years old! History is way cooler than you know now, so go read about it. 😁
Me: Hey DM, I have a character idea DM: Sure, go ahead Me: Alright, so how about a swords bard and samurai fighter combo with a focus on art, social interaction, and combat DM: Alright, sounds cool. Me: He could be the son of a famous musician and a skilled warrior, but they come from different regions. The musician is part of a quartet of musicians from a desert land with fanciful hats and outfits while the warrior is from a far-off isolated land of honorable swordsmen knowledgeable in the arts and culture DM: Ooh, I like that... WAIT Me: I give you Diego el Hideyoshi, Matador of the Rising Sun! (Picture of a mariachi guy with a katana)

What if we screamed into the abyssal-toe? 🥺👉🏽👈🏽
A cartoon from @worry_ _ lines: Top: A guy gazing contemplatively into an oval aperture with stars in it, labeled “Staring into the Abyss” Bottom: Same guy, with a gingerbread man in one hand and what looks like a mug of some festive hot beverage in the other, staring into the same inky blackness, pocked with stars, but now there’s a string of lights over it.

We should be talking about this more. Mainly because it whips. 😁

When else are you going to be able to use the phrase “pickled children”???
Caption: I feel that as a culture, we have overemphasized St. Nick's toy delivery service and underemphasized his brief career as a necromancer A screenshot from the Saint Nicholas Wikipedia article: Other reputed miracles: One story tells how during a terrible famine, a malicious butcher lured three little children into his house, where he killed them, placing their remains in a barrel to cure, planning to sell them off as ham. (291|55) Nicholas, visiting the region to care for the hungry, saw through the butcher's lies(29]|56] and resurrected the pickled children by making the Sign of the Cross, (29)[56]

GLORY TO THE HOUSE OF CRATCHETT!
A Klingon warrior sits before a fireplace decorated with a wreath and stockings, holding a copy of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. The caption reads, “Reviews: A Christmas Carol. A Ferengi businessman is haunted by holiday spirits who attempt to remind him of his honor. Scrooge should have slain the demons who attacked him. 3/5 K't'inga's. Glory to Tiny Tim!”

BOOOOOO HISSSSSS 😆
A tumblr post from user icantspellthings: I absolutely love the casting for the AOS movies because yeah Chris Pine kinda looks like a yassified Jim Kirk, and Zachary Quinto does look like a younger Spock. But then they looked at big, tall, broad shouldered, muscular action man Karl Urban and went. Yeah, I think he can play scrawny bean pole shrimp postured, looks like a light gust of wind would blow him away, Leonard McCoy. And by god, were they correct because it was like the spirit of Deforest Kelley himself possessed him to play Bones. A reply from comicgeekscomicgeek: Urbanization contributed to Deforestation.

Get a load of this. 😆
A post from ViperThreat: Worked as an on-call computer tech for about a year, and I've seen some weird shit. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc. The weirdest one was this cool old dude who had retired and lived in a double-wide trailer in a fairly nice retirement trailer park. His house had one of those trains that traveled along the walls from room to room, occasionally poking through walls and such. The primary purpose of this train was to carry his bird (a blue macaw IIRC) around the house. From his explanation, the bird had some birth defects and had difficulty flying, so they built the train for the bird to cruise around the house on. This may not sound all that weird to you, but let me set the stage for you: You're a college student removing a stupid browser hijack from some old guy's computer. You're nearly done with the job when you hear a clacking sound and look up to see a toy train crossing your vision. Aboard the train is a decently sized bird that makes eye contact with you and says "choo choo motherfucker" before disappearing into the next room. One of the most surreal moments of my life.
