GeraldineIf only there was some sort of seasonally appropriate story about the ills of one man having too much money and being awful to everyone.
David Slack@everywhereist I mean, I guess technically, sure, yeah, fine: Citizen Kane is a Christmas movie.
@slack2thefuture huh? I was obviously talking about Die Hard.
In Search of a Better World@everywhereist @slack2thefuture
Oh, I thought you meant #TheLionInWinter
ArqArtur0@everywhereist @slack2thefuture the Best Christmas movie.
@arqartur0 @slack2thefuture I've only seen the play, but hot damn was it great.
Nick Kearney
Phil Betts@everywhereist this has genuinely inspired me to put on A Muppets Christmas Carol. Ta. 🌲
@philbetts like you needed an excuse 😉
@everywhereist an outrageous accusation, and totally out of character for me. I hardly ever watch Christmas movies! 😅
Andrew Kornblatt@everywhereist I hear there is one with Muppets
@akornblatt Michael Caine plays it so straight; it's excellent
@Lee_in_Iowa@everywhereist @akornblatt The film that proved for all time that Michael Caine is a consummate actor: The Muppets Christmas Carol. Imagine the work of not merely treating the puppets as people, but not tripping over ask the puppeteers crawling string in the floor at his feet! #Acting #MichaelCaine
Ika Makimaki@everywhereist I too was musing on exactly this idea a couple of days ago!
Ika Makimaki (@[email protected])
After visiting the infamous billionaire owner of Tesla, the Ghost of Christmas Past was left traumatised by the apartheid childhood of the emerald heir. The Ghost of Christmas Present is reportedly still locked in the Twitter headquarters and being forced to produce 'hardcore code', whatever that means. The Ghost of Christmas Future is befuddled and demands to know what 'Woke' is and why the billionaire kept yelling that word at him. It is not going well.
@pezmico great minds!
Kee HinckleyI asked #ChatGPT to generate something and the only conclusion I can draw is that the Muppets are real and Elon is not:
Tim Macinta
Katie P
Ed Ross
LBarker🇨🇦@everywhereist haha! Life imitating art..

bluewave is coming@everywhereist Scrooge McTrump or Scrooge McMusk those stories tell about rich Scrooges #Bluewave

Shannon DeMaria@everywhereist Elon Musk standing next to the Ghost of Christmas future in front of a memorial plaque in a lifeless, dusty red wasteland. "So I did it? I made it to Mars?"
"No, this is what's left of Earth you asshole."
"No, this is what's left of Earth you asshole."
@everywhereist if only...
Steve Fischman@everywhereist wait wait…I know this one!!!
Dave Marshall@everywhereist Yeah, but if there’s a Christmas goose coming from Elmo it won’t be the kind you put on the table.
antipode77Can't we create one with Elon Musk cast in the role of Scrooge ?
But who is going to play Tiny Tim ?
The former chief of Twitter moderation maybe ?
artistwithouttalent@everywhereist The problem with that comparison is that Scrooge was a better person than any of the world's current wealth oligarchs; Scrooge at least cared about Tiny Tim.
@artistwithouttalent and had the capacity to change.

brickbat@everywhereist And bless us, everyone.
Riley S. Faelan@everywhereist: featuring the Three Mastodons of Christmas: the Mammoth of Christmas Past, the Elephant of Christmas Present, and the Neophant of Christmas Yet to Come.
cowboybanjobiker 🤠🪕🚴@everywhereist It would be like the Grinch but where his heart grew three times smaller.
MikeZilla Minus One@everywhereist mmm...sounds like there ought to be one, you're right
Nick 'The Viking'@everywhereist
Now that you mention it
Now that you mention it
Adamas Nemesis@everywhereist Scrooge's problem was that he was a miser, not that he had too much money per se. It's also worth noting that for all of his other faults Scrooge never went out of his way to actively make other people's lives worse, which is more than we can say for Elon Musk. Which come to think of it is rather horrifying...

William Hamilton@everywhereist
“On be’alf of all the people who ’ave assembled ’ere,
“I would merely like to mention, if I may —”
“You may!”
“— that our unanimous attitude
“Is one of lasting gratitude
“For what our friend ’as done for us today…
“And therefore I would simply like to say…”
Scrooge - Thank You Very Much
Purple Converse@everywhereist - see also Midas, though not seasonal
miketcope@everywhereist I bet Scrooge knew how to read a merger agreement tho
bill sandweg@everywhereist …aaand that’s a follow! Lmao.
Dr. Unabart 
@everywhereist @Homoevolutis0 I was just watching “The Best Of Mr. Bill” on YouTube and couldn’t agree more.
Morningstar@everywhereist This is perfect.
Aviva Gary@everywhereist If only...
Sue@everywhereist hot dog!
Elisa Doucette@everywhereist Honestly, at this point I think even pre-ghost visits Ebeneezer would end up haunting him in chains and money boxes like "Dude, what you did in life was pretty fucked up."
Ricardo Harvin@everywhereist The dickens, you say!
MikeUnderscoreDadJokes
perigrin@everywhereist @pearlbear with Muppets!
Daryl Manning@everywhereist Snorted hard reading this. Thank you!! 😊😊

Oh musk? No, trump? No, sorry TOO many to list.
Oh musk? No, trump? No, sorry TOO many to list.
sam@everywhereist @brooklynmarie Elon musk being visited in the dead of night by a series of laid off trust and safety staffers
Chaos@everywhereist You're talking about Hans from Diehard, right?
Ransum@everywhereist oh yes, something entertaining to watch as I warm myself by the fire in the Great Hall at Kaer Morhen!
Sarah@everywhereist I just can’t think of ONE!
