I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Hallmark Christmas movies and then asked it to write a Hallmark Christmas movie of its own. Here is the first page. pic.twitter.com/HMEtkzHVCi

The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

Oh, shut your sound, Peracles!
That is hilarious.
Merry Christmas, dude!

If that's not enough to raise people's spirits, I just noticed that this hashtag is trending:
#RejectedChristmasMarketStalls
so just by virtue of volume, whatever your taste in humor, surely there's something to please.

After Christmas, betcha it's gonna be 90% off for the few weeks until they file Chapter 7:

It could be worse, arta. You could also be gift wrapped in eggnog. Your doctor would have a terrible time curing that one.

Just trigger happy - happens to the best (and worst) of us.

Wacky tacky cultural appropriation by the oppressed for fun and profit all round:
Boy makes me think how if Thomas Nast had been as rigorous about copyright and legacy of the image as like, the PIcasso family is, we'd be talking constant unfair infringement suits worldwide as well as raking in the dough from Hallmark royalties. Many colored Santas indeed, not to mention ones with military and authoritarian ethos.

Said Merry Christmas several times, not Happy Holidays:

This is what I mean when I say a compromise by Obama seems like surrender. Here we are engaged in the most important fight of our time, The War On Christmas and Obama is giving out an inconsistent message by saying Merry Christmas. Sure, he's pretending to be a black Santa when everyone knows Santa is white. A clear win for our side, what white person will celebrate Xmas (ha ha) if Santa is black. Why does he have to ruin it by saying Merry Christmas? Thank
GodNBC for being on our side. Notice the headline. Obama delivers Holiday gifts.by ocean-kat on Thu, 12/20/2018 - 1:41am
No no no, Santa is a dirty disheveled half-goat of unsure ethnicity who'd surely end up on a no-fly list carrying that bag w who knows what. (Though at least he wouldn't lose his talk sho w/o a fight, eh Megyn? well at least you and Bill O'Reilly have something in common)

Well black Santa would end up on the no fly list but that's a good thing. When they TSA stops him from flying we can play the race card. And as Tucker explained a few days ago Hispanic Santa does make America dirty. But white Santa is a right jolly old elf.

White House press corps has a dark-skinned Santa, too, but then they have warped interpretations of naughty and nice and are the enemy of the people:
by artappraiser on Fri, 12/21/2018 - 5:04pm
Of course black Santa thinks the mainstream media is nice. We'd get a whole different view if white Santa showed up.

Essay splaining how saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Christmas" would not actually be proper protection of WASP heritage culture (mainly, using "Merry" signified a pagan tradition, not to mention influence of uncouth Americans without much proper religion):
Why IT’S MERRY CHRISTMAS, NOT HAPPY CHRISTMAS
by artappraiser on Sat, 12/22/2018 - 1:19am
P.S. I visualize someone like Margaret Dumont using "Happy Christmas" to express felicitations of the season, and clutching her pearls should she hear anyone say "Merry Christmas" in return:
Edit to add: furthermore, comes to mind that gentlemen do not brandish cigars while ladies are in the room!
by artappraiser on Sat, 12/22/2018 - 1:31am
yup, merrymaking, not a WASP thing (Dickens? an uncouth serialized pop writer not in "good taste.")
