I CAN BE KRIZZMAS??

How much does Santa pay to park his sleigh?

Nothing.

It’s on the house.

Excavations at the village of Sayburç in southeast Turkey have revealed one of the earliest known human narratives in 11,000-year-old stone carvings. Essentially, the narrative can be seen as an ancient comic strip or graphic novel panel carved on a stone bench. #Archaeology 1/

Wishing everyone who celebrates a very Merry Christmas. The wonderful Sarah Millican started #JoinIn for everyone who is alone or finds today difficult. So if today is hard for you for whatever reason, use the hashtag and find people to chat to.

Merry Christmas to all. Around 8pm last night, Governor Greg Abbott had 50 migrants dropped off at the Naval Observatory in DC in sub-freezing temperatures. I ask you all to consider sending a Christmas Day donation to the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network, which found shelter for these people, and has been organizing for months to provide aid to the migrants being trafficked by red-state governors.

In the spirit of the season (?), The Kid used his Mario figurines from the Advent calendar to make a nativity scene. He's calling it his Nintendivity. I couldn't be more proud 😅

I don't normally get many (any) presents for Christmas, which is fine. I don't need anything. And I would rather my family spend money doing things together. But a friend sent me this and it is so wonderful. I can't wait to build it. It is something I thought was neat, but probably never would have bought for myself.

New project idea: tear open a spare transit card and fit the RFID contents into a toy train, like this one that Vancouver's transit agency is selling.

Southern New Hampshire doesn't have snow like it did a few years ago at this time, as it shows in this photo covering these crabapples...It certainly is super cold though! It was 13 degrees this morning. I wish for warmth for all. #snow #cold #winter #joinin #Xmas #christmas #photo #photography #crabapple #NH #newhampshire #NewEngland #peace #warmth #happiness #tranquility #harmony #zen

All I want for Christmas is permanent defeat of white patriarchy

Fedfree is live! https://fedfree.org/

Fedfree is a website aimed at teaching people how to run their own servers, of various kinds, on libre operating systems e.g. Linux and BSD. It aims to do this, using libre software exclusively, teaching people about the importance of libre software and hardware as it pertains to freedom; the right to use, study, adapt, share. The right to read. Universal access to knowledge… education. Education is the goal.

One tutorial so far, but more are coming.

Differential growth is beautiful!

From “What would Jesus do?” to “Where would you send Baby Jesus as a stunt?” in one very racist decade.

The term "Merry Christmas" is actually a corruption of the name Murray Crimmins, a London bus driver from the 1920s who had a habit of tipping his cap and saying his name to every passenger who boarded his bus.

His son, also Murray Crimmins, continued the practice through the mid 1950s, but he died childless, and the origins of the tradition were largely forgotten.

Merry Christmas friends! 🎄
Wishing you all peace, joy and p0wnage of your adversaries! 👨🏾‍💻

The James Webb Space Telescope was launched last Christmas Day.

In the year since then, it has captured — in stunning detail — stars, planets and galaxies that were previously unobservable.

If you think fertilized eggs deserved to be treated like people but refugees don’t, you're going to have to stop pretending your concerns are religious.
