Nos da o Philadelphia, bawb, ac i'r rhai sy'n dathlu, Nadolig llawen pan ddaw'r bore.

Just got a recommendation of a herb I should make sure to add to my stuffing for a traditional taste. It was sage advice.

This was very good! An attempt to capture the essence of Mage Knight (a very long, big, and complex game) into a 30-minute card game. It does a pretty fair job of that, I'd say. Also, this edition has really beautiful cards.

#MorningVibe Turn up the volume and sing along! ⭐️ "God Curse Ye Wealthy Gentlemen" by Cathy Fink with marcya.marxer and tomPaxton.

Thanks GlobalTV Canada! 🇨🇦

My main takeaway is not so much how it demonstrates that they know they're full of shit, because we already know that. My main takeaway is how easy it is to catch them with the simplest follow-up, and how obvious this makes it that they're not used to being asked basic journalistic questions.

I watched it! And it is very good. Notable, I think, for Scrooge taking just a little longer than average for his heart to soften and—consequently, I suppose—Edward Woodward's unusually angry and confrontational portrayal of The Ghost of Christmas Present, which I very much enjoyed.

Picked this up second-hand once, paying little attention to the author's name and thinking that perhaps it might be well-written but would in effect be a history of England by another name, with short shrift paid to other countries of Britain, like Wales. The I read the author bio. I see hope.

TL;DR: My most Scrooge-like quality is not personally thinking Muppets' Christmas Carol is the best adaptation and finding the discourse around it a little tiresome.

I think a part of this is that I generally find it rather tiresome when people replace "This is my favourite one!" with "This is literally the best one!"

So a problem I have this time of the year is that there's always all this discourse around how the Muppets' Christmas Carol is amazing and the best adaptation of the story. And I *do* really like it and agree that it's very good! But... 1/

Excuse my language but this looks like absolute dog shit.

anyways that’s enough brain damage for me but main takeaways here: -Gen Z conservatives are Hitler Youth 2.0 -Basically all of them support JD Vance as the next president -They hate Muslims, Latinos, and women (not surprising) -All of them complain about affordability and healthcare lol

???????????

Very cool!

yeah I wonder why people would think that man lol

can’t understand why women hate these guys

This is called “breaking the law.” Today’s deadline isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. Release ALL of the damn files. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.

I've just been reminded of this. I've never corrected someone so fast in my life.

I wouldn’t apply for the job due to my strong principles of not applying for jobs and they didn’t even give me the job!

I am taking the opportunity to once again remind you of the time Naomi Wolf thought Apple invented time machines run by vaccines

My mom was in a car accident when I was 10 and I spent the next 6 months changing her bedpan while she struggled to learn to walk again. Now she has pain every day of her life from all the metal rods & plates in her legs. Yes, she takes a wheelchair in airports even though she "can walk" GFY WSJ

Absolutely nobody asked for this BUT English Anglican cathedrals that have burned down, fallen over, and sank into the swamp: a thread.

out now! the Crip Linguistics Reader has some really important stuff in it, and I hope every linguist will engage and find something to take away from this volume

You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls

Tonight's #BoardGames: 1. Bombastic 2. Mythic Mischief

Plaid is miles ahead of everyone else in younger age groups. In fact in every group below age 55, Plaid are the largest party.

Young people love Plaid and hate Reform There has been a lot of talk about Reform being really effective at reaching young people. However this polling suggests that just 5% of those aged 18 - 24 would vote for them.

Of people switching from Labour to Plaid, 40.3% cite Rhun ap Iorwerth’s party as better at “standing up for Wales” as their primary motivation.

Labour have got to get it into their heads that far and away their biggest threat in Wales is coming from the left. Over 50% of their 2024 voters have gone to Plaid/Greens. Just 10% are going to Reform. Being tough on immigration is hurting, not helping them.

Right let's breakdown this new poll for Wales because there is a lot going on below the headline figures. [Thread]

And as a final point, there is a plausible scenario where by the 2030s the Conservative Party voter base largely dies out and Labour starts succumbing to the same fate as a 20th century legacy party with a rapidly ageing voter base

If this sentiment spreads to England and Greens or LibDems become seen as the more viable force against Reform instead then Labour will not survive in its current form into the 2030s

Any EU or US journalist and commentator interested in the UK's trajectory needs to start brushing up on the ABCs of Welsh politics

A #BoardGame before bed: Sounds Fishy

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

In honour of Rob Reiner, have David Moore's thread on the best sword fight in movie history and exactly how nerdy it is.

This story is astonishing.

So I have a question, specifically about the "as if you're watching a movie" part. I visualise books as I read them. But it's quite different from my experience of watching a movie, in which my eyes perceive a clear picture...

We celebrate Christmas in a secular way but I'm realising at least two of my kids have little idea of what Christians believe about it (in spite of us telling them)! Can anyone recommend a particularly good video about the nativity story that kids aged 8–14 would enjoy?

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

WOW. Indiana Republican senators refused to be bullied by Trump. Overwhelmingly.
