Joy to the world, the food has come!
Our homeless guy, Gin, is only here for the soup kitchen.
His companion, a homeless trans woman, says if god can make Mary pregnant with a miracle, why not her?
This may be a scam to get an extra serving of soup.
We open on a nativity play. A children's chorus sings Silent Night.
The pastor says Jesus was born to bring salvation to those with no place in the world. It's very hard to have no place in the world.
A homeless man sitting in the back of the church agrees.
You can watch this on Netflix.
(But not in the United States.)
The Christmas Anime that people actually recommend.
_Tokyo Godfathers_
Canada conquers Russia, forming the Northern Polar Empire.
Just saw someone cite Stalin on the errors of politicizing technology.
Followup: the Rust core team has now spoken.
They confirm: there was some incident involving the core team. It was unclear how this ought to be handled. The core team and the mods tried to hash it out over _eight months_, but eventually all trust was lost.
Bob: Do... do you think that love means letting someone hurt you?
Alice: No. I think love means someone letting me hurt them.
Bob: You are even more fucked up than I thought.
I have made a mistake, so at least I'm going to enjoy it.
Challenge:
We have a time machine that can insert you into history. You will be sent to the United States in July 2019.
Your goal is to prevent the worldwide COVID pandemic of 2020.
Humans are an existential threat to wolves.
Should a wolf be happy that domesticated dogs are so successful? They are descended from wolves, after all.
There are four different types of hyena, each of which is a different species in a different genus.
(All of their sibling species are extinct.)
Alice: I'm gonna start using the phrase "people who have been coercively racialized as black" to center the fact that "blackness" is a social role thrust upon people without their consent.
Bob: Not sure if you've unlocked the secret to racial harmony or you've had an aneurism.
Jules: You're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men.
But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
Podcast: This show was done by that artist.
Me: Isn't that the same artist who did the really weird porn?
Google: Yes. She's also a VTuber.
Honestly, I'm disturbed by the fact that I know and recognized her. Just throw me right in the trash bin.
If you're super jonesing for another Christmas special to watch, I guess you could throw it on the pile.
I can't really recommend it on its merits, but if you're watching weak shows because of a Christmas theme, it's at least different than the classics.
But for Christmas shows, we end up grading on a curve anyway. So how does it hold up there?
Well, it does manage to squeak a tiny bit of heartwarming out at the end of episode one.
It's a lot more standalone than watching the Christmas episode of any full series.
This is mediocre in every way. The animation isn't great. The writing is super basic.
Like most Christmas movies, it's churning out cheap work to make a buck on a guaranteed sale.
But Japan isn't a heavily Christian country, so I'm not sure how guaranteed the sale is.
