I mean the whole damn point of the Nativity story is that the supposed son of God (interpret Jesus how you fucking want, of course) was born to a couple of poor, exhausted peasants in the stable for the inn, and his first bed was a feeding trough for animals. That would nowadays be like a poor couple where the mother gives birth in a parking garage behind the motel because they couldn’t find a better place and nobody else would take them in. It’s a pretty gritty setting, and the idea is that God was reborn in some of the rock-bottom lowest circumstances. The only thing majestic was all the angels and shit, and of course motherly love
I get that a lot of the art portraying Madonna and Child as fabulously wealthy europeans in splendid robes and golden light was meant to glorify God + whichever nobility was sponsoring the artist, and while of course it’s genuinely beautiful art, it just always struck me as horribly missing the point, which is that the supposed son of God started in incredibly humble circumstances, among the kind of people that everyone else looks down on
‘Massacre des Innocents’ by Leon Cogniét, 1824. Although the Feast of the Holy Innocents is in a couple of days time, this painting is still really relevant in that it portrays Mary as how She really was: a scared refugee mum, so fearful that Her son was going to be one of the Innocents killed by King Herod.
Harley 100% believes Santa is real. No one has ever convinced her he’s not.
Joker perpetuated her belief generally to hurt her feelings by giving her coal year after year. (Sometimes he’d be in a good mood and throw something cool in there too.)
Ivy thought Harley was joking about it when they first met but after she realized she ACTUALLY believed, she played into it, going to extreme lengths to keep the magic alive.
“Don’t go in there, Harley. I’m working on a new formula and it’s extremely toxic to humans.”
“A’int I immune?”
“…….Not when….Mercury…..is in….retrograde….?”
Are you implying Santa isn’t real? You’re on the fast track to the top of the naughty list 😲
Not to mention Santa actually does exist in the DC universe and one of his avid believers is Superman himself!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love weird name lists like this because they’ll be like Quirky Spelling, regular ass names that isn’t Anglicized, Random Noun, Ethnic Name, Quirky Spelling, Creepy Christian Cult Name, Fandom Bullshit, Quirky Spelling. And like unless you already know, nine times out of ten there’s no way to no. It’s like Russian roulette

There’s a concept for a “mind reading” piece of texh that detects those muscle movements and uses AI to determine what your thinking, so you can think a command like “make coffee” and it will send out a signal to your coffee machine to make coffee.
i HATE that
I think to myself, “I want to die,” and then Alexa reads my throat muscles and kills me
