Buy safe gifts for kids, not the Flaming Sword of Handsomeus Ronicus
Santa sitting at a computer in his home looking at the kinds of gifts people are thinking about buying for kids. He comes across a listing for a mystical sword of fire. Santa's advanced computer monitor creates a projection of the sword above the screen. Santa is surprised and says, "The Flaming Sword of Handsomeus Ronicus? To be handled only by the Champions of Light after completing the Trials of Virtue?! Who is gifting this to kids?!" A reindeer nearby says, "Oh, yeah. Ages 300+ for that one. Says it on the box." The text reads: Someday your kids may complete the Trials and attain the Sword. Until then, you should buy age appropriate gifts for kids from retailers you know and trust.

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots. To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Yes, to suspire is to utter a deep sigh. It’s all about breath, as are ‘inspire’ (to breathe life into an idea/person), ‘expire’ (breathe out), ‘perspire’ (to breathe through), ‘conspire’ (to breathe together), and ‘spirit’, because the ancients believed the spirit was breathed into the body.

Buried on page 14 of the Telegraph - Matt Hancock has admitted “do not resuscitate orders” were “wrongly applied” during the pandemic.
Hancock: ‘Do not resuscitate orders’ were wrongly used
The Daily Telegraph - Saturday23 Nov 2024By Amy Gibbons
MATT HANCOCK has admitted “do not resuscitate orders” were “wrongly applied” during the pandemic.

The former health secretary told the Covid Inquiry the practice had been used inappropriately, denying people access to potentially life-saving treatment. He also suggested the UK should lock down faster in the event of a future pandemic, despite concerns over the impact of the measures.

“Do not resuscitate” (DNR) orders, which instruct doctors not to attempt CPR if a patient’s heart or breathing stops, are generally only supposed to be drawn up with the clear agreement of the person in question. But concerns were raised during the crisis that blanket DNRs had been imposed on vulnerable people without their consent.

The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.
