Pie crust and pie filling made, pies will be baked tomorrow

Pecan pie can be good but most are too sweet and have that awful gelatinous goo

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...

My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.

Having fake cable (YouTubetv) is actually kind of great, I can record a 10:30am airing of Love Actually on basic cable so I can have the family friendly ish version available for 9 months

Please give us locked accounts or at least circles 😭

Being tired yesterday meant that today I had to make a pie with time for it to cool for travel and also do most of the Thanksgiving shopping all in one morning 😭

All of Bluesky this morning:

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

I know I’m North American because I live in a city in an area with things to walk to and good transit connections but if my husband has taken our shared car, I feel Trapped

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

this seems like a good thanksgiving to yell at your relatives

Fair pay for full time work shouldn't be a luxury. It’s a basic need that everyone should have access to. Food, housing, healthcare, hope.

Until yesterday the most I knew about Keith Olbermann is that Aaron Sorkin is kind of obsessed with him (he’s the inspiration for Dan in Sports Night and Jeff Daniel’s character in The Newsroom)

I would love to read an account of this saga that isn’t written in an atrociously purple way but seems like that’s too much to ask of anyone involved

Wild how the Boy Mayor age for cis white men overlaps with the geriatric pregnancy age

The pudding is steaming! It takes 8 hours, which is wild, and then another 2 on Christmas

The $2,000 rebate could be the friends you made along the way

Nice to have local friends I can bake things for as gifts instead of stressing over how much to spend/whether to give a gift at all

Harris ran on "I am tougher on immigration than Donald Trump". It was a message she repeated over and over again, each time alienating a large part of her voters in order to appease Republican talking heads who could never be appeased. www.npr.org/2024/07/30/n...

Well it’s a week early but I have Stirred Up and it’s Sunday

It’s very heartwarming to look up some fertility thing on Reddit and then look in the person’s post history and see that they were able to have a baby after all.

i love when people use search engines in movies but i love when people use search engines in hallmark movies most of all

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Finally bought a nice statue for our garden so we fit in now

Wait so the person who wrote that Nuzzi profile is Carl Bernstein and Nora Ephron’s son????????? 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️

Means testing is stupid and expensive and we simply shouldn’t do it. Feed people. House them. Provide them healthcare. Do it like you mean it.

If you’re looking for a pie that isn’t one of the Big Three for Thanksgiving may I suggest cranberry?

There’s an old tumblr post about this phenomenon that goes “where do I see myself in five years? Replying to multi paragraph emails with ‘thanks! Sent from my iPhone’”

I’ve been thinking lately why bother to reform the democrats when Working Families is great and doesn’t have the baggage?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

We need a societal understanding that too much power is dangerous. Wealth taxes and trust busting are a matter of public safety. The rich and powerful are a threat to themselves and others.

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

I just want to mention that this was a New York Times reporter Epstein was talking to, and the NYT has never disclosed these emails or any photos conveyed.

I want the stupid tariffs to go away for many reasons but most immediately it’s cramping my style for purchasing Christmas Treats from the UK

In a lot of ways Pittsburgh splits the difference weather wise between Toronto and New York, and being slightly farther south, our earliest sunset is 4:53pm which is a big improvement over both

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

schumer offering up an extremely reasonable and popular compromise only for senate republicans to answer "eat shit" while johnson puts the house on paid vacation for another week while critical supports start failing and fed workers run out of reserves is politics. this is how politics work.

I find it hilarious that basically over the course of 3-4 videos in 2ish years @techconnectify.bsky.social has made me someone who has Opinions about Your Dishwashing Habits

Hey everyone - I hate doing this but we had to have major emergency plumbing work done on the house we just moved into. The main pipe from upstairs to the basement was completely rusted out and filling the wall with water in several places. Any help infinitely appreciated gofund.me/42cedbf8c

people bitch about small talk, but small talk — and being able to shoot the shit with a stranger — is a key fucking social skill, and while i understand it doesn’t come naturally to everyone, it *is* one that’s useful and worth working on

Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia! Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare. If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call! Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

Oh look this is relevant again today

Detergent pods and tablets for dishwashers only solve two actual problems: 1. Improving performance for those who always overdose and end up with residues 2. Helping those with mobility issues Otherwise, the main thing they do is make sure "40 pods" will last you exactly 40 cycles and that's it.

Obviously I’m biased but if you’re looking for sad songs for the end of the year may I suggest
