Godsdamned onion ninjas.

Let’s all go around the table and say one word we’re thankful for.

Please keep this safety tip in mind this Thanksgiving:

Swapping turkeys for other animals was once a key part of North America's wildlife conservation efforts.

Thanksgiving Guests Freeze In Disbelief After Teenager Informs Them Of Native American Genocide https://theonion.com/thanksgiving-guests-freeze-in-disbelief-after-teenager-1848076742/

this tool is very funny and also i feel like toggling between lesbian and gay is just an illustration of the queer income gap

Is this a silly little "feature"? Yep. But it brings me HAPPINESS.

Dept. of your politics are political but our politics are apolitical (which goes all the way up to "our gender ideology is not a gender ideology but yours is").

So this morning I got up from the very pleasant guest couch at my son's and took him and his main squeeze to the airport, where they will meet her parents and literally 19 more family+guests, including the evangelical uncle+his wife+their daughters, and the married lesbian cousins. It also got

Alt but goodie

somehow forgot to link the song in the OP so here you are

What are abstract ideas like “being happy” and “having fulfillment” compared to real world achievements like “working full time for a company and still needing food stamps”

kneel before your golden god, Babylon

Goodnight from the Kingsmere Estate, where even the local bootboys are now afraid of the dark given the latest Wish Blood shenanigans. Goodnight from Beckie Ealer, wishing she could remember the special word for divination by symbols spun into spiderwebs. Goodnight from Hookland.

Amen and pass the gravy.

The cats were moderately pleased to see me. I have turned the heat back up. It's 20 degrees colder than it was yesterday.

Oh, it's nearly the end of the month so time use up some gift links... Here's my review of Heated Rivalry (Crave; HBO Max), some queer Canadian hockey smut that's part of a national psyop to destabilize America during its thanksgiving weekend. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/e60f469...

Initially, weary of ALL things MTG/NYT, I didn't read this. But it's only nominally about MTG. It's wholly about MAGA's roles for women. "But for the women of the right, women with ambitions, Trump’s disregard for decorum looked like a professional opportunity...They also became stars." (gift link)

A happy story. www.science.org/content/arti...

The secret of great pie is perhaps a little like love: the butter and flour want to merge, but not completely. So the cold butter stays a little separate even in the fiery furnace d'amour and that's what creates flaky, light pie crust.

Only 20 miles from home but it was a _good_ decision to stop. Sorry to see the MassPike Starbucks are doing good business.

Compare and contrast: I wonder if it has been restored, or the one on the left is older.

@indyfromspace.bsky.social Thank you. I read that op-ed thinking you agreed and I was quietly disappointed (not enough tea yet).

One thing we can try on Thanksgiving is to address difficult topics with the difficult people we love.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Thanksgiving, no need for smoke alarms and their schemes come to satisfying fruition. #GravyIsSoImportant Particularly @virginiam.bsky.social, as always on this day.

It feels like these two have roughly the same relation to journalism as RFK Jr does to medicine

Anyway, here's the pithier version

Destroy them, pls.

Also it's late November in Boston and I wish I were wearing a t-shirt and sandals.

These are fabulous books and I was just posting about them. Completely formative for me.

Dinner was good, at five so the restaurant was very quiet. Not even the token child (pushing 12, poorly socialized because their mother is the Antichrist) wanted dessert.

My son and his kid are trying to teach my ex some kind of Pokemon-related fight game. I would prefer a nice peaceful thing like watching ice hockey together.

‪We’ve now learned the two guardsmen are alive & in critical condition. I pray for their recovery.‬

Hegseth announces plans to order deployment of 500 additional National Guard troops to DC following the shooting.

They shouldn’t have been shot and killed. They shouldn’t have been needlessly deployed. They should be alive and home with their families. A senseless tragedy in every respect.

It's helpful to remember that every single thing Trump does is at best a scandal and quite regularly a crime

fwiw i used this method, which was approximately 1.5 metric shittons easier than trying to wrangle the backbone out of a bird that big on a small counter

The TinyTurns Papeterie was small but really nifty. I was able to meet and handle many notebooks I have only seen on websites. Store has a bunch of different brands of pen, and some washi tape, and many kawaii items. And some Swedish soap I liked the smell of but not for $21.

I am _amazed_ at how many things there are in the world. Also by the time I got here, it was a beautiful _warm_ sunny day.We had fancy tea (a London Fog; son advised correctly that half-sweet was enough) sitting outside. Then we visited Mem Tea, with several sorts of small Asian tea sets and teas.

OMG! #TheSun is trying to come out! For a moment there... I an clean and clothed and breakfasted.Must work on overnight things.

This is actually a great idea for multiple reasons. AWS has become too important to the structure of the web itself to persist as a private entity.

Please somebody anybody in New York primary Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. No new reason, just really want it to happen and manifesting.

Say it with us 🗣️: What's disgusting? Union busting! We're FOURTEEN DAYS into our national ULP strike. Thousands of workers in over 65 cities are out on strike, and this is just the beginning. #nocontractnocoffee

i came across the saying "to follow like a Tantony pig" so I get curious and look it up, but Tantony isnt a place, it's a contraction of St Anthony who is the saint of swineherds, so the proverb means to follow someone like a pig following the hog messiah. alas this information will not pay my bills

@buffalosmemes.bsky.social I hope your dad's doing okay?

Give them a blue check! Please! They are a valid source of NHL content and occasional native grasses information!

Look, it's cute, and short, and maybe you need a container for winter gift? youtube.com/shorts/pl6T3...
