Icelandic folklore tells of the Yule Cat that terrorizes children if they don't have new socks for Christmas.

I think about this joke a lot these days.

My objection is that everyone signals their virtues all the time in public spaces. Almost all discourse signals one's virtues to some extent or another. The idea that you can only signal virtue in a lib way is a dumb and largely unchallenged one. Elon signals his virtues every day, and they suck!

Thinking of getting someone off fiverr to follow me round in the role of a sort of scheming vizier. They can say stuff like “of course, you know best,” before pausing for long enough that I bark “out with it then!”, and then they go “perhaps if I may…” Shit like that. Six dollars an hour.
