A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is a beautiful reminder that rich people will never do anything benevolent or charitable unless they’re frightened into it.

A reminder that streaming service use is banned in Britain from Christmas Eve - Boxing Day.
You must plan your viewing using the Radio Times, just like people did back in baby Jesus' day.

there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

Sed contra: Advent is traditionally a time for contemplating death, judgement, heaven, and hell, and thus a Kendal Mint Cake Advent Calendar is far more seemly than most of the “little treat” type of Advent Calendars.
I keep getting adverts for a Kendal Mint Cake Advent Calendar, and as someone who has choked down vast quantities of Kendal Mint Cake while dangerously close to hypothermia, on an exposed cliff in a storm, desperately inching towards a safe place to stop and camp... I cannot think of anything worse.

The interesting opposite of this is General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. Post-WW1 titan of the German army. Who Hitler DESPERATELY courted.
von Hammerstein is one of only 3 figures believed to have told Hitler to fuck off to his face. He even thwarted Nazi attempts to politicize his own death. /1 🧵
