Welp my ol' boomer dad always said no Christmas shit before December, decorations, music, etc.

But my kids asked me to set up the tree in the middle of November. So I figure might as well make them happy.

And as it happened, my dad died of cancer in his 40s so it's not like his Christmas rules did him any good any way.

Whattaya gonna do 🤷‍♂️

Haha I remember a couple months ago at his first arraignment, Trump's team actually wanted a mugshot for the merch, and photoshopped one up when NY DA didn't oblige.

I really really really wanted Trudeau to follow though with election reform and get rid of first past the post/strategic voting and make other parties viable.

Lol well done.

I couldn't believe when that came out and had no effect. Like when George W would just misspeak or Clinton admitted smoking weed in college or whatever, it always seemed like there were huge political consequences.

Yeah, if you disagree with an instance's decisions, defederations, and so on... Choose another instance 🤷

We’re concerned about getting sunburned and tanned

Lighter skin=beautiful skin in China. Not a racist thing (at least in its origins) but classist: the poors had to go work in the sun all day.

I gather it used to be the same in Europe and the west, but then the poors ended up cooped up in their office jobs while the beautiful people could go on beach vacations, and suddenly tans were in.

Yeah Narnia was straight up unmistakable Christian allegory. I believe J.R.R. (C.S.'s drinking buddy) always insisted that LOTR was not meant to be taken in that way, or like when people hypothesized that Sauron was Hitler and so on.

I wonder how bad it'll get before we get some kind of prescribed burn policy. Smoky summers suuuuck. Having your house or town burn down in an out of control wildfire sucks even more.
