TIL Home Alone was responsible for making Kevin the number one name in Germany in 1991. Later, the name became associated with low social status in the country, which led to the coining of the German word, Kevinismus, meaning the negative preconception German people give to trendy exotic names

From my friend, John Plaice:
It's Christmas soon. Here is a video from 1978, when Luciano Pavarotti sang in Notre-Dame de Montréal. I remember watching it on TV with my parents that Christmas Eve, and regret not knowing about it beforehand, so we could attend in person.

BUMPED 12-24-2024 I’m a little too busy to do anything. A redemption story for Christmas? The nerve of some people! This is exactly the kind of excellence that Disney can no longer achieve. This was advertised as a Netflix Original. Which is a lie, but I understand why Netflix does this. Calling something a Netflix […]

Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas for an attack. What could be more inhuman? Over 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, and more than a hundred strike drones targeted our energy sector. Their goal remains the same: to plunge Ukraine into darkness, — Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Each massive Russian strike requires time to prepare. These are never spontaneous decisions. They reflect a conscious choice of targets, time, and date.
According to preliminary data, our defenders managed to shoot down more than 50 missiles and a significant number of drones. Unfortunately, some did hit their targets. At present, several regions are experiencing outages. Energy workers are tirelessly working to restore power as quickly as possible.
I thank everyone working for our country—those on combat duty and those protecting our skies. Let’s restore as much as we can. Russian evil will not break Ukraine or distort Christmas," — the president’s address reads.

⚡️🇭🇺🇷🇺🇺🇦 Orban on the details of the Christmas ceasefire proposal
The Hungarian proposal for a Christmas ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine refers to a break for two or three days, during which time regrouping cannot take place, Viktor Orban said.
Orban told Kossuth Radio.
According to him, during his visits to Moscow and Kiev, he had already put forward a proposal for a temporary ceasefire, but then "neither side was ready to accept it", and now "at least one side is ready".
Orban said.

The Hungarian proposal for a Christmas ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine refers to a break for two or three days, during which time regrouping cannot take place, Viktor Orban said.
"We are working on the fact that, if a large-scale comprehensive peace cannot be achieved this year, if the parties are not ready to agree to a long-term and sustainable ceasefire, at least there will be a truce for Orthodox Christmas. Since it is a matter of two or three days, the option of the enemy taking advantage of this opportunity to regroup is excluded,"
Orban told Kossuth Radio.
According to him, during his visits to Moscow and Kiev, he had already put forward a proposal for a temporary ceasefire, but then "neither side was ready to accept it", and now "at least one side is ready".
"Russia has considered the proposal, and Ukraine's position could easily change if they sit down and think about it,"
Orban said.

❗️Zelensky's refusal to agree to a Christmas truce and prisoner exchange on Orban's initiative is proof that Kyiv is not interested in peace — Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin.
