How a child's accidental call to a top-secret phone line launched NORAD's Santa Tracker
It began 70 years ago when a five-year-old called a top-secret emergency line reserved for the U.S. president and four-star generals and asked, "Hello, is this Santa?"
It was December 1955 — the height of the Cold War. The phone that rang was big and red, only to be used during an international emergency.
That wrong number — and many others that followed because of a simple typo in a newspaper ad — ended up launching a mission like none other for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD: to develop a tracking system allowing families to follow Santa's journey around the world.
Since then, the Santa Tracker has become a source of joy for millions of children.

Russia is about to start staging plays at the Mariupol theatre it bombed
When an airstrike tore through the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theater in Mariupol on March 16, 2022, hundreds of people were in and around the building at the time, including civilians seeking shelter from Moscow’s deadly invasion.
There are conflicting reports on how many were killed in the blast, but legal experts say there is overwhelming evidence that the strike constituted a war crime. Investigations based on witness testimony point to a Russian strike on the theatre. Moscow denies destroying it, and instead blames Ukraine.
Now, nearly four years later, Russian-appointed officials say the theatre, now under their control, has been rebuilt, modernized and is nearly ready to host audiences of nearly 500.
“There were so many people in the theatre during the bombing and a lot of people were killed there,” said Ihor Kytrysh, an actor who had been performing at the Mariupol theatre since 2000, and is now living in western Ukraine.
“It’s like performing a play on the bones of the dead."

I've never been one to make resolutions. To say things which we know will never come about. Things such as diets, learning a new language, and going to the gym. You get the idea. And yet, we shouldn't just give up and think that things can't get better. Trump won't live forever. Netanyahu and his murderous crowd might just end up in court. The people of Scotland might regain our independence.
Don't give up. Things can get better.
Have a Guid New Year in 2026.

in reply to HellsBelle • • •I don't get it. The kid called the wrong number - and that's why that tracking thing exists. Huh?
What exactly are they "tracking" anyway?
Edit: in case you decide to continue reading this trainwreck, I only ask this one courtesy of you: be aware that my issue is with the translation and nothing else, least of all the tracker itself. Cheers.
Personal gripe: Looking at the actual tracker page noradsanta.org, I thought it was a funny idea to translate this very USian thing into other languages without, apparently, accounting for local traditions. It says, for example, that in most countries Santa Claus only comes when children sleep, between 9pm and midnight on 24th Dec. That's not true for German traditions: we get our presents in the evening on Christmas Eve. He also doesn't come down any chimneys. (In some places there isn't even a "Santa Claus" who brings the presents but a kind of angel child figure vaguely associated with Jesus.)
Yes, it says "most countries" but the cynic in me can only see this as a kind of cultural imperialism where the US/Anglosphere tradition is given priority over any local one. I don't even celebrate and I'm still annoyed...
(The translation is wonky in places too ("Jetzt kannst du mit dem Verfolgen des Weihnachtsmannes beginnen"), even ignoring the content not being localised, but oh well.)

in reply to Lumidaub • • •If you haven't noticed, culture radiates from the US, and all our traditions were made up recently
This wasn't even a thing made to be shared. This is a stupid little toy website made for children
If you value your culture, make art about it.
Don't blame our art for not including your culture, are you asking to have your culture assimilated???
Because that's where that road leads. If American culture gains a deep understanding of German culture, that just means the empty corpo-slop will overtake the things you find special
Lumidaub
in reply to theneverfox • • •theneverfox
in reply to Lumidaub • • •And I'm saying you don't actually want that. I'm pretty confident you want to keep your culture
The way you lose it is by slop worming it's way in. The slop is inoffensive and tasteless
Just laugh at the bad localization, don't try to fix it. It's a bullet that missed you by a mile
Lumidaub
in reply to theneverfox • • •theneverfox
in reply to Lumidaub • • •You don't understand... If the slop is inoffensive, it'll pour in everywhere. Your culture will drown in it, one day you will wake up and realize ads have decided how you should properly interact with your family
It's good that you don't like it. That means you have something to protect, you still have something you value
Do you understand how much Americans hunger for culture? It's not because we don't have it, we have hundreds of cultures. It's because it has all been mixed together into inoffensive slurry that leaves us feeling empty
The important and unimportant are all mixed up and drained away, and it's not the important things that remain. It's the things that profit someone

in reply to Lumidaub • • •There are ~50k US troops stationed in Germany and ~800k German speakers in the US based a quick search. Maybe it's for them.
What I'm saying is that if you want a version tailored to your local customs you should talk to whoever runs your air defense system instead of getting mad that NORAD isn't catering to you.

Here, Christmas is people giving each other presents. Santa Claus is only a thing in commercials. I'm sure some families try to follow the American version for their kids, but i don't know any. We don't put up Christmas decorations until Sinterklaas has left, but that unwritten rule is slowly disappearing.
