A Thanksgiving Story A few decades ago, when I was first dating my wife, we drove from Massachusetts to Vermont to celebrate Thanksgiving with her father and mother, Donald and Mary. Mary had stage 4 pancreatic cancer and was under treatment, so we brought all the food. 1/Cont.

Not all who are lost, wander.

why do i feel called out here?

Thanksgiving prep advice: Step 1. WASH THE BIRB

"He cooked it, he can carve it." has become a code phrase between my wife and I since this Thanksgiving.

Charles fucking Dickens

"Double down" is this administration's signature move. They will be calling it a "surge" soon.

National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed as local police indefinitely as part of someone else's political stunt. They're not set up to be local police, they never should have been deployed.

fcuk. Politics incoming.

How long until RFKjr bans nanogels because they are “activated by the 5g signals”?

Should I take my turkey out of the freezer now or wait until later today?

Every day is a litany of ways that Trump's government is trying to hurt or kill you.

It actually takes <1 minute!

They must be filming the next season of 'Chief of War'.

It's always Bison coffee. Every time without fail. Kind of serves the Dems for passing such a shitty bill but we will all end up losing if this is overturned.

Nobody: ELON: "I'm just over here cooking up the most vulgar roast of my friends on GROK."

Who paid for the pardons?

Now that the public discourse has been changed from "inflation" to "affordability" it can be used to take away even more consumer protections.

lol sign worked

Turnips

We can surmise "What do turkeys eat?" was not on the cognitive test administered after the MRI of Trump's broken brain.

I mean, I like cabbage! But this is the kind of thing you expect to see from state media shortly before the guillotines come out

Bellwether

The Upkeeps with top billing. Nice job, gents.

There are so many absolutely bonkers things happening at the same time it is literally impossible to give any one thing the attention it deserves. That said, Trump's obvious failed plan to jailbreak Bolsonaro and bring him to the US for asylum is truly nuts.

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

Democracy dries with snarkness

Duffy is a completely unserious person who is focusing on this because he has undone all the Airline Passenger Rights enacted under Biden and Buttigieg and he doesn't want people to focus on that. Ironic, of course, because if you're delayed you're going to want some comfy clothes and shoes.

Per usual, @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social said it better than I.

Trump administration reprising the celebrated 2022 Republican strategy of "reminding people that Mark Kelly is a Navy veteran who went to space"

We have actual real problems and this airhead is making a fuss about style?

Certainly possible but I doubt any of these GOP cowards wants to be the resignation that flips the house. The MAGATs will get very very angry. And they understand that means violent.

Why we live in Portland, Part 11.

Hegseth isn't fit to grovel at this man's feet.

Before the internet was a malevolent autocratic tool of disinfo, it was fun for a minute.

It feels like corporate media is desperate to turn Epstein into a “both sides” issue, but Stacey Plaskett isn’t the one who gave Ghislaine Maxwell a sweetheart deal allowing her to go to a minimum security facility in exchange for her silence.

Enjoyed this video by @justinhawkins.ridesagain.com about Elliot Smith. 'Waltz #2' is one of my favorites. Both because of its incredibly fragile lyrics and orchestration, but also because of my personal connection to the song as it mirrors some of my own story.

They do a raclette night at Providore on Wednesday nights. My winter might be saved!

Anyway, my women of color colleagues are fighting everyday for this community in myriad ways, and I couldn’t be prouder of them. I learn from them each day and we are lucky to have them leading in office.

It's true. Email is inherently insecure and often archived for years by the recipients (or their providers).

This guy is showing you his junk even if you *don't* ask.

If we've learned anything from the Nuzzi/Lizza cesspool, it's that journalism is seriously fucked. There's a lack of incentive to do the right thing. The monetary incentives are to do the wrong things and then publish books about it.

it's not a peace deal it's an unconditional surrender

The MTG resignation is just the next step in her attention plan. (I'd also wager that the resignation date qualifies her for a pension and lifetime healthcare)

I had an inkling the pension date was a key MTG milestone.
