Trixie loves her a nice Saturday afternoon fire in the fireplace.

I’m obviously not living up to my Bluesky potential as of yet.

@profanity.accountant how blue am I on Bluesky?

The Real Thing will always be right at the top of my favorite plays. #RIP, Tom.

Much more to say on this soon but to sum up: this is the most disgraceful episode in American history since slavery. Can you imagine if FDR had told Hitler: I’ll force Britain and France to let you keep half of Poland in exchange for kickbacks to my friends and family? www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Good morning to everyone except those who support this racist BS.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good night. 💤

Always use your family’s heirloom china for the holidays. Glad to have inherited my great-grandmother’s wedding china for these special occasions.

This was absolutely the mood in our house

Problematic family members at the holiday table? Bring this Leslie Jones to every encounter.

Full-on Ina Garten mode with every cooking/baking device in use today. House smells *amazing.*

Mad props to the college and high school bands for whom this parade will be a highlight of their lives. But bring on the Demon Hunters, please.

Watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade with the college student, who lights up with joy at the sight of favorites from her childhood.

Ha, gotcha! The one holiday week where the pickup schedule does not slip by a day!

Good luck and have fun, turkey trotters. We’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines this year (can’t miss this when you live near the starting line). Happy #Thanksgiving.

AL East rules. Full stop.

Next up on the #Thankgiving make-ahead list today…this thing of beauty the doubles as both stuffing and as a breakfast strada.

“He does not get regular exercise, in part because he has a long-held theory that people are born with a finite amount of energy and that vigorous activity can deplete that reserve, like a battery.” Uh, okay.

This is 💯 correct, IMO, having been part of the same organization when this was happening.

ALX Skeeters: DBW staff are putting together the Advent Beer Calendar beer sets *right now.” Head over there today/tomorrow if you have one on order.

LFG. #RedSox

All over my former employer. And not for good.

Launching in to the Thanksgiving meal prep decathlon today with this family favorite from Four & Twenty Blackbirds…

@sigtheatre.bsky.social Fiddler on the Roof is absolute perfection. Go see it if you can. It’s as fresh as if it was written yesterday.

Thanksgiving dinner planned, grocery shopping list drawn up, and dish preparation scheduled in a day-by-day grid. Feels a bit overwhelming until I realize how grateful we are to have a Thanksgiving celebration.

This Thanksgiving please remember to give thanks to the Lord that Trump and his people are so unbelievably incompetent 🙏🏼🦃

I’m a big fan of @marisakabas.bsky.social and The Handbasket. Encouraging my followers to join me in subscribing to support top-notch independent journalism.

Oh hell no.

Good.

🎂🎉

We really need baseball back.

This is the real war on Christmas.

<slams head on desk>

Read the entire 🧵.

Good lord. They really do not know what they are doing.

Good.

A thoughtful and profound reflection.

Feeling safer yet? This is a mess on so many levels.

May we all appreciate the comforts of home as much as Trixie does.

✅ Back pay from furlough received. Thanks for doing better, #GSA. Now for the odds on how long it will take for retirement processing. That one’s a complete crapshoot.

Saying this a lot lately. Do better, #GSA.

Science is not the truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Godspeed to my former fed colleagues returning to the office today with the equivalent of five minutes’ notice. #chaostheory

WTF.

No, they are not. On a related note, where do they come up with these guys?

Dan Pfeiffer: “This is now a messaging campaign. It is an opportunity to make sure that every American knows two things: Republicans raised their premiums and Democrats tried to stop them.”

Tell me that you don’t understand insurance without telling me you don’t understand it.

Well yes, this.

Dan Pfeiffer: “Yell at any Democrat you want this week — I get why people are furious. I’m furious. Now we need every American to know that Donald Trump and the Republicans are the ones who raised their premiums. If we do that, they may have won the shutdown battle, but they will have lost the war.”

I hate that this is the case, but I think this is the correct take. It’s been 40 days of “no” and likely will be another 40 days of the same.
