This is "I know that Jesus is a magic demigod, and the important thing is to show God the respect that he deserves", but actually the story of the Nativity is, "I don't know who this stranger is, but I can see they need help, and I'm going to be compassionate whether he deserves it or not."

Parsnip is apparently trying to game the @catsofyore.bsky.social system by sitting on a 1950’s Norman Rockwell collectible plate. Look dad, I’m vintage.
Also gaming the “you’re not allowed on the dinner table” system, I suppose.

The next time someone tells you Coca-Cola invented modern Santa, you can lay one helluva WELL ACTUALLY on them.
One of the earliest-ever modern portrayals of Santa Claus features him gifting Union soldiers with a jumping-jack doll of Jefferson Davis dangling from a noose - as drawn by political cartoonist Thomas Nast.

Just came across this on Mastodon and thought I'd share it for anyone wondering if adding image alt text is "worth it."

cyberpunk dystopia is here, there's colored LEDs all over and I eat too much cup noodle
they keep putting bigger pictures of the dictator's face on things but at least on the Nets we still talk freely
sometimes your robot girlfriend is secretly a real person
nothing's been right since the plague

When they ask me what radicalized me
i don't have a guest room, but if you bring me a platypus you can have the bed
1) alcohol
2) a cleaning service
3) a second bathroom
4) gifts of jewelry, furs, and unguents
5) a platypus
6) a private detective for the inevitable murder (see 1)
7) a topic of conversation that is not politics or weather. eg your recent messy divorce, or the TV show Shining Time Station

The cashier at Target should be able to work full-time and afford their bills with a little left over. That’s not radical.

I'm not sure what was decided at Stonehenge during the winter solstice this year, but I approve of the new god/ruler/emperor/pagan supreme being or whatever the rank is of the one that was chosen:

Last month, @outsidemag.bsky.social sent me to spend 14 hours in a suburban ice rink, learning the stories of everyone I met. Why do they skate? I asked. To feel free, they told me. To feel God. To forget, for a minute, what they've done.
What I Learned After Spending 14 Hours at a Suburban Ice Rink
A full day inside a suburban rink revealed how one place can hold ambition, grief, faith, and escape—sometimes all at once.
