Your yearly reminder to have the biggest most expensive presents come from you, not Santa.

1. You can help your kids help preserve the magic for other kids who didn't get as much.

2. Santa ain't the one who dealt with that jerk at work all year.

Earlier this year I was a guest host for the Historians at the Movies podcast, talking with @jillianforsberg.bsky.social and @elizabethrandersen.bsky.social about The Princess Bride.

It’s a good episode, and I’m gonna listen to it again today and be sad about Rob Reiner.

I'm obliged for the nod.

The "Penrose Effect" seems to be a real thing - hypothesised in the 1930s and re-tested in the last decade or so:

Where you reduce your inpatient psychiatric provision, you'll see a correlated rise within 10yrs in prisons of seriously mentally ill prisoners.

As in 2019, when I get my first paycheck after coming off, furlough WCK gets a big donation. Please support them if you can. They care about all of us.

Tuesdays are a battlefield.

Mars was the Roman god of war.

The Germanic equivalent was Tīw or Tiu (Norse = Tyr).

This is why today is called ‘Tuesday.’

And why it’s mardi/martes/martedì in the Romance Languages.
