I feel I should also tell you about Grýla, the mother of the 13 Yule Lads. She is not quite as cute as her sons, as she gathers all the badly behaved children in a bag, takes them up to the mountain and eats them.
This is a picture of Grýla by Tryggvi Magnússon from a very popular children's book.

Stekkjastaur, the first of Iceland’s 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains tonight. All the children put a shoe in the window that he will put a treat or a little gift in - if they have been good that is. The bad children get a potato.

Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger show that the best way to respond to Trump’s threats is with his own strategy—the counterpunch. My thoughts in cafedotcom.

I will never understand how a billionaire like Elon Musk can go on social media blaming poor people for being poor and say people who work remotely are elitists and still have a bunch of people who live paycheck to paycheck continue to worship him.

It’s hard to tell if America is turning into an oligarchy, a dictatorship, an autocracy, a kleptocracy, a theocracy, a kakistocracy, or an idiocracy.
