@T1SydneyTrains Both elevators are out of service at Toongabbie. Wish we had some kinda.. I don't know, notification..? about that, considering that we have lunch reservations with a mandatory cancellation fee and two in our party are wheelchair users.

Sharing this remarkable image, José y Maria, by Everett Patterson, seems even more urgent this year. In the past, I’ve delighted over the clever visual puns (Dave’s City Hotel, Weisman cigarettes and Mary’s “Nazareth High School” sweatshirt) and in the reminder that Mary and Joseph were, like this couple, desperate young people looking for lodgings, when there was “no room at the inn,” as one translation of Luke’s Gospel has it.

In the past few years, there has been an intense debate (mainly online) over whether Mary and Joseph were refugees. To me, it seems clear that they were, at least during the “Flight into Egypt” where they flee a murderous king, leave Galilee and travel to Egypt to take refuge. That fits the classic description of a refugee: someone who leaves their homeland out a “well founded fear of persecution.” Some people say, well, they were still in the Roman Empire, which is beside the point. Do we really think that a poor couple from Galilee would have considered Egypt their homeland? Popes since at least Pope Pius XII have agreed. He called the Holy Family the “archetype of every refugee family.”

But before that, as a couple looking for lodging, they mirror thousands of couples and families today who have been denied “room at the inn.” In the United States, couples and families (and children) looking for “room” have been harassed, rejected, arrested, beaten, imprisoned and tortured. “No room at the inn.”

I will never understand how people can treat other human beings like this—even if they are, or are assumed to be, somehow breaking the law. Christ is present in every person, and every person has infinite dignity--whether you are Joseph and Mary, José y Maria, or an unknown person looking for room for their family.

If we delight in making room in our homes for our Nativity scenes, and delight in making room for Baby Jesus in the creche’s manger, can we make room for Christ, who is present in every migrant and the refugee? José y Maria, pray for us.

@cyrilgupta @politvidchannel You don't have an original thought in your head and you rely on LLMs to pretend you have any insight into the world.

I feel so sad for you that I'll engage with you for the money you're hoping to make with your blue tick.

Clothing for travel / flight tips from the menswear guy (though I usually wear casual clothes for flying):

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

@kotka2457 if you're wearing a suit, then tropical wool. if you're wearing a sport coat, then mock leno in the summer or tweed in the winter. all three of these materials are naturally wrinkle resistant, which is useful for travel.

@DrewPavlou Can you even afford to engage a legal representative..?

@TTyszkowski27 @JR13717022 I've worked a quarter of my life to prevent physical abuse against vulnerable people. I'm trying to put this into context. It's not language most people would use.

She's a provocateur but she's definitely taking shots at the reprehensible Vance.

What've you got against that?

[Javy @JavyMaybe]

@JR13717022 Conservatives in my country have been killing gay men for decades. No convictions, and in the 80's it was done by police officers abducting people and throwing them off notorious suicide spots.

At least she's standing up. Words aren't as bad as homophobic violence is my take.

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

[Javy @JavyMaybe]

The last time I was searched by the police was because I 'fit a description' and on that night a police officer had been shot.

He was killed by friendly fire by the officer behind him.

In Sutherland Shire, an officer crashed his vehicle.

Now this.

Yeah the media is just unprepared for how the federal government is telling an endless series of not even plausible lies.

[Javy @JavyMaybe]

I've gotten messages from my family overseas asking if I was safe.

Sunday was a mess, it's internationally seen as what they fear Australia is - racist, bigoted, unsafe for people.

Maybe that was the point of these anti-immigration rallies.

To scare us.

I leave australia for one month and all of a sudden you guys start having nazi pedophile rallies

[Bec Shaw @Brocklesnitch]

these protests today are so embarrassing. bunch of fucking losers. the biggest whinging victim complex cunts on the planet

[Dr Vyom Sharma @drvyom]

Everyone who criticised the March for Palestine protest in Sydney where one guy held up a photo of Ayatollah Khamenei better call out the March for Australia protest where a literal Neo Nazi, from a group of many other Neo Nazis, made a keynote to the mass of protestors.

@ExposingNV @LuckyOZBloke It’s worth reading this essay on the topic of giving them a platform to voice their ideology.

@AngloSaxonLogic @WindsorBeaver @NAB Easy to spot an overseas misinformation agent and you don't even know why it's so simple.
