This is such a cool story.
OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Just ran across this timely quote of Will Rogers:
The Republican platform promises to do better. I don’t think they have done so bad. Everybody’s broke but them.

/u/itsallfolklore shares an answer on the changing nature of folklore and tradition, and how that relates to the frequent discussion of Christians ‘coopting’ pagan traditions for Christmas. #Folklore
Is anything in this 'wiccan' meme/comic abput the pagan origins or Christmas symbolism accurate?
This cartoon looks fairly accurate to me except the Yule log. While lighting fires - having light in general - during the period of the winter...
