Ah, the "Affray" (from HG originally). Odd side note to this story: my hairdresser sold what might be that very painting/lithograph from her mother's attic some years ago.

Sectarian violence is a thing of the past in Newfoundland now. But it's good to remember that wasn't always the case. And there are people gleefully ready to use the pulpit to spark hate and violence all over again if they can.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

Most Americans don't know this, but December 26th is actually a special holiday elsewhere. I speak of course about: Chairman Mao's birthday!

It's so frustrating because like all our automation before this point was finding a solution to a problem but now we have all these solutions in search of a problem. We already have machines in warehouses, factories, and living rooms. Why do they need to look uncanny valley?

Addendum to this thread: The weather is REALLY bad, and though my mom lives in the same community, it's not looking like we'll make it to her place for Christmas. The roads are not cleared, everything we shoveled this morning is back and then some.
So no gift for today it seems.

So we were not planning to celebrate Christmas this year. But a few months ago Michelle found a necklace she really liked in a boutique store where they make their own silver jewelry using local gemstones. It's a unique piece. And so I secretly bought it, and gave it to mom to hold onto until now /1

I've been dying laughing all morning and that's the best gift.
I go to give it to Michelle, all grins. She opens it up... nothing inside. Just some cardboard pieces that rattled around that I mistook for the necklace. /2

I am an old-school sort of man. I like celebrating our cherished traditions, such as: generosity to others, and crossdressing.
There is only one acceptable Christmas song, and it's Newfoundland's Mummer's Song. Which has the important holiday lesson of: Gender is fluid.

Whoa, I can't believe Christmas Eve tried to steal the thunder from one of @jmkeep.bsky.social's favourite movies: Spider Baby.
On this day in Horror Comedy History, SPIDER BABY was released in 1967.
