Christmas messages


I know that the Christmas season is over but I found some amusing stuff that I wanted to share just to break up the bad news that has been happening recently.

It is the custom in the UK for the monarch to give a Christmas message to the nation and the satirical puppet show known as Spitting Image provides a parody. (Thanks to commenter brigerjohannson.)

Another tradition that began in 1993 is for the UK’s Channel 4 to give an alternative message to the monarch’s speech and this year US talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was surprised to be asked.

Here is Kimmel’s message.

    They don’t really count as things that detract from the bad news, but I found Johnathan Pie’s latest missives on Trump to be very entertaining. His rants are so over the top, yet so accurate. I’m not sure if they’re new or I just missed them, but I recommend all of the ones starting with “Trump” at https://jonathanpie.com/home-page/. I’m very late to this thread, but I’m mentioning them if only as a reminder to you Mano, in case you choose to signal boost them.
