  1. Sen jälkeen olen on/off-tyyliin ollut työtön tai työssä, ja kun työtä on tullut, rahaa on aina tullut ihan riittävästi.

    Mikä pentele siis saa jatkuvasti katsomaan, onko tuo juusto halvempaa kuin tämä hyvä tai onko varaa ostaa viikonlopuksi jotain hyvää? Se on se opittu ahdistus. Tuntuu hyvältä, jos tilillä on massia sen verran, että ei-liian-leveän kuilun yli voi hypätä.

    Mikä toisaalta on taattu tie siihen, että päätyy rikkaaksi saituriksi #Scrooge-tyyliin; joten ahistaa kahesta suunnasta. 3/3

  3. To frame #Grinch vs #Scrooge as a mere new-for-old replacement misses half the point of #AChristmasCarol: it’s not just a redemption story, but—like much of #Dickens’ work—also a critique of the class system.

  5. The exact moment when #Scrooge embraces the spirit of #Christmas, renounces the spirit of capitalism, and gives Bob Crachit a raise. #HappyHolidays, Everyone!

  7. Most great actors who played Scrooge were hamstrung by the production. Patrick Stewart was dumbed down for Hallmark. Michael Caine had all his scenes stolen by his costars. To play Scrooge well you need to be cold-hearted, sentimental, terrified, giddy, and joyous. Albert Finney nails most of those but a singing role doesn't quite do it. Alistair Sim does them all perfectly.

  9. James Hamilton, Presbyterian minister, sees people argue for letting orphans fend for themselves. When Jesus said, “The poor will always be with you,” [Matthew 26:11], directed the Church to care.

    I’ve once debated a guy who said this verse meant something more like Scrooge’s mantra of “I wish to be left alone.” We are teaching the morals of #scrooge today.

    How can you not let religion leave you alone?

  11. The "Gundam Effect" is when you tell a story that has significant weight and meaning to it, but you use a framing device so intrinsically appealing that the message gets lost in it. The horrors of war and how it's not an atrocity a thinking species should commit on itself, but you told us with cool robot fights so that's what we notice.

    ... perhaps no greater example than A Christmas Carol though.

    "See, the modern way of urban thinking is fundamentally dehumanizing! Scrooge makes those around him miserable by keeping a personal austerity code and demanding no more than everyone around him adhere to it!"

    "Got it! It's about buying a goose for poor people."

    "No, it's about the notion that there is so much surplus wealth in this damn city, but people suffer because it's locked behind the walls of people who can't even use it. Scrooge has a room for his spare furniture! He lives alone!"

    "Ah, got it. It's about how greedy bastards are the real problem."

    "No! He's not greedy, he's a product of the fundamental rules of this Victorian era that have supplanted a more collectivist understanding of how to treat each other! How much better this grim and finite existence would be if we could recognize our shared experience of it and~"

    "... and be well-liked so you get into heaven instead of being tossed into a hell-pit or experiencing living cremation."

    "That's the movie adaptations!!!"

  12. Florida military families in privatized housing on Air Force base told by landlord they can't put up Christmas decorations until 30 days before the holiday. 🙄

  13. This Holiday Season, I believe it would be quite fitting if the orange man were to be visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Eve.

  14. ...my answer to #scrooge to skip all that "three visits" bs running around drama...okay, cos his attitude always and in all ways pissed me off;

    "well sir, have you no elders, no kin, no heirs, no friends for whom you feel love?....are you so miserably lonely that you deny compassion to others who are also alone? ...is there no heart beating in your chest filled with enough humanity to realize these little ones you overlook have beating hearts same as you?"

    let those "ghostly" queries haunt you
