Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

X Chat, launched in late 2025, offers end-to-end encryption, calls, file sharing, and disappearing messages without needing a phone number. Musk announced on Monday that intensive tests will come in the next few months before full open-sourcing, aiming to build trust amid user feedback on reliability and feature requests like voice notes. While many praised the transparency, skeptics pointed to past unkept promises, like fully open-sourcing X's algorithm. The move could invite global audits to strengthen the chat as X pushes to be an everything app.

Survivors like Shirin Mohammed Salih, shot in the back, sent heartbreaking voice messages pleading for help as her children were held.
