Every now again someone tries to diss me by calling out my style of humor as "millennial" and I get indignant, SIR, I am Gen-X, the millennials got their humor from watching me

St Nicholas, shown here resurrecting three boys from a pickling tub, became known for genorosity and protecting children.

Such stories shaped Europe’s Sinterklaas, which evolved into Santa Claus and eventually, Father Christmas. 🎅

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Definitely boosting the signal on this one, because it's exactly right. I'm glad to see my former place of employment ringing the bell on it.
There’s a whole lot of alarms to sound about this, but one that really sticks with me is hearing from associates in the business who have produced through Netflix

And how they are never allowed to release physical media of their work

So Netflix can control every aspect of access. Forever.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

And once again, I thank @coinfitz.bsky.social for introducing me to Terry Pratchett. As a lifelong sci-fi/fantasy nerd, I had never dipped my toe into Pratchett and I don't know why. He was such a treasure of a storyteller and if you've never ventured into his world, please go do so now.
