The US may have put a man on the moon, but Denmark put an entire population on free healthcare.

@PamelaBarroway So christians have too make sure everyone knows that by pointing it out? @noondlyt @timo21

@noondlyt Because it makes those who do celebrate feel like outsiders. Lonely feeling. @timo21

@timo21 I've never seen it -- except for last year when I did it to see if anyone noticed. (They didn't.) Celebrating Christmas in January is no exception since you'll still wish them happy Christmas, as people have been doing since Halloween. @noondlyt

@noondlyt Why do we specify "for those who celebrate" with Chanukah, but not with Christmas? @timo21

@AlliFlowers

OK..
Thanks for clarifying that for me

I can have difficulty with printed satire sometimes

Israel has closed its embassy in Ireland.

And now, in a perfect and perfectly Irish riposte to Israel’s genocide and petulance, the abandoned former embassy on Shelbourne Road in the grand Lansdowne area of Dublin is to be turned into a museum of Palestine, so it is, in cooperation with the Palestine Museum US, which published its version of an Irish jig at the news

You know about disposable vapes?

many brands are powered by the same lithium-ion cells that are used to make huge battery packs for electric cars or ebikes

but with vapes, they're just ... thrown out

Chris Doel got 130 dead vapes, took the batteries out, and used them to create a new rechargeable battery pack for his ebike

It worked *great*

His question: "Why they hell are they being thrown away after one use?"
