This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

It's I think one of the coolest and most interesting things about the Nativity story that people *genuinely believed* that the Roman empire at that point had been powerful enough to achieve a movement of people at a scale basically not seen until...what, Chinese New Year *now*?
Luke 2:1 "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus that all the world should be taxed."

NEW: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Officer Danny Hodges have filed their response to the government's arguments against hanging the January 6th plaque in the Capitol pursuant to federal law. I'll post a link to the full filing once it's on the docket.

Betcha a shiny nickel this is because they told their LLM to redact all the initials used to identify minor victims and so it also redacted S.D.N.Y.
I have seen DOJ do some strange redactions before, but this is up there:

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

The person was fine, but I cannot help but wonder if that was due to the perceptiveness of the Verger on the issue of ordinary people's responses to being unexpectedly surrounded by a half dozen priests at a time of medical crisis.

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

The mere fact that he is treated as inhabiting the outward edge of normal politics and that he can be opposed by pretending his positions are more normal than they are and then critiquing them is doing half his work for him.

Just been made to listen to the Rest is Politics USA on the long drive and grew immediately exhausted by the “I’m no fan of Trump but maybe his obviously raving positions are crafty, ideology-free calculations”. /1

This is wholly unsurprising but absolutely appalling. This is like concluding a coin always lands on heads because every time it lands on tails you discard the result.

And, I am afraid, yet again, this is a symptom of volunteer Magistrates just not getting it.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Not many things in life will have you pumping your fist in the air, but watching little Tommy Robinson’s (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s) face and bravado drop when he gets called out for his racism and hypocrisy by boxer Ty Mitchell is one of them.

This is glorious. 🔥

God, I find “pub landlord hates politicians” stories boring. Look at the government’s popularity ratings! Of course lots of people hate them! It would be closer to news if one offered her free Xmas dinner!

Just screams “we had a better story but it fell through” to me, but who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
