A carol is a song is an oral tradition, which have always been about imparting generational wisdom, cautionary tales, and of course, taking the piss out of fictional dudes behaving like real dudes you hate.

Let’s talk more Christmas misconceptions! Every year I do a whole thread about how Christmas carols evolved and how most of them really aren’t that old in the scheme of things. I have talked about the Yule Cat and how a lot of people get it very wrong.
I have also talked about anticapitalism.

A decade ago, solar power barely registered in Hungary’s electricity mix — just 0.2% of generation. Back then, nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid.
Fast forward ten years and solar power now supplies around 1/4 of Hungary’s electricity — a remarkable transformation.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

An insane professional dog walker just yelled at me and called me stupid for throwing a ball, at a dog beach, in the general direction of where her dogs might have ended up walking half a minute later
I did not take it well
Rita, meanwhile, just picked up her ball and trotted back me 🤷♀️

Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

The TOY STORY films work best as symbolic of the parent experience - and 4 was surprisingly poignant in that regard, about how parents adjust when the kids leave the house and grow up. But unless TOY STORY 5 is about the toys going into a retirement home, this towel's just about wrung out.
