"The most powerful thing you can do in this situation doesn’t concern your attachments, or even your beliefs. It’s giving up on the idea that there is such a thing as safe territory. A kid’s book, a magic wand, even the idea of joy itself can be a tool used to club a kid back into the closet. Act accordingly."

It’s Time To Grow Up | Defector
HBO’s new Harry Potter TV series is premiering this Christmas Day. Under current plans, it will last at least a decade. The trailer looks like the original films were run through an AI generator, but quality isn’t the point. The show is a transparent attempt to induct a new generation—and market—into the lucrative fantasy world…

Good Morning #Canada
For North American male sports fans of a certain vintage (old guys) Bronko Nagurski will be somewhat familiar. Bronko was a legend in professional football & wrestling in the years leading up to #WWII, and he was Canadian, born in Rainy River Ontario in 1908. He's the subject of today's post because OTD in 1941 Bronko Nagurski regained the World Wrestling title from Ray Steele in Minnesota, after losing to him a year earlier. In 1943, 6 years after retiring from the Chicago Bears, he rejoined the team and led them to the league Championship. His son Bronko Jr., born Christmas Day 1937, played football at the University of Notre Dame, and became an all-star with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League.
Despite being born a decade after the end of Bronko's sporting career, I'm aware of his Canadianship because my father would use it as a bit of trivia when his friends talked about the legend.
Great Wiki on Bronko.
