I get so many ads via text that I spend a lot of my day swiping left, delete, delete. Why do we have to delete delete? I told you once and I meant it. Just do it FFS.

1/ Collective punishment of tens of thousands of vetted Afghan partners won’t prevent radicalization. But it will guarantee fewer allies, more enemies, and higher risks for U.S. troops the next time we deploy. www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

It’s the ‘Don’t shop til you drop’ weekend. Watch a movie, read a book, talk to your family since they’re all still there (they are; it’s still early; they’ll be wandering in). Wash the car. Go for a walk. Paint the house (it’s not cold everywhere). See? Easy. And you already have a place to park!

Dear Sean Duffy, During the biggest travel weekend in the US, I’d like to introduce you to an app, Flight Aware. Sign in and search any major city in the US or the world. See those thousands of icons stacked upon each other? Those are planes. With people in them. “Gut instinct?” Moron.

T-Day dinner for one.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the wonderful people I’ve met here on Bluesky. Food, football, naps - enjoy the day! mj

Watch your step 🤷‍♂️

Lardass AND Congress are not TAKING another Break…they’ve never been OFF one. When did they do any worthwhile work other than demo?

This sonofabitch has obviously never held the yoke of a 300-ton flying Passenger train that he's trying to land on a foggy field. The bastard should be stuck in a mine-shaft and closed in.

Trump has all the time in the world to be our decorator and cheif because he's not doing anything to help the American people like the economy and Healthcare www.rawstory.com/filth-trump-...

Doing something different for Thanksgiving this year. I love turkey (especially sandwiches made from leftovers), but @keladewig.bsky.social isn’t a fan. So, this year I’m smoking a brisket. First brisket on the Searwood, and first full packer brisket. Fingers crossed.

My Mom’s name is Alice and we are going to a restaurant tomorrow, so…. enjoy this classic Thanksgiving Tale youtu.be/WaKIX6oaSLs?...

She’s just a bit wonky but nothing a steam block can’t help. Hmmmm. Maybe that would help me! 😳

Since this has come up again! In case there’s still confusion on how we lead.👇🏼👊🏼👇🏼

Timely question: does NYC fill the T-Day balloons with hot air imported from DC?

@huck-sawyer.bsky.social May I assume you are a Twain fan?

Lovely Mairi is always bringing the beauty part!😍

I know this is too much but consider it a PSA: do you know when it’s beyond time to get a hip (or two) replaced? When you stand up and it sounds like muted small-arms fire inside them! Don’t wait like I foolishly did. Pinky swear!!

How’s your day going? I just made a cup of coffee in my Keurig without a mug under the dispenser. Ten ounces covers a LOT of countertop.

There’s only about 10 minutes of news a day, the rest is a repeating opinion machine. That’s why the evening news was half an hour in the ‘70s, Cronkite assumed correctly that we’d form our own opinions.

Goal: for 2026, I’m going to get- Organized! I’m going to get or-gan-ized! (Sung to the tune of Popular from Wicked, if you please.)

TMI alert: when you walk with a cane you must plan movement from room to room like a field commander. I’ve learned the utility of the odd plastic bag, pockets, teeth and waistbands. Go ahead - indulge in that visual.

Why do we call it ‘the news’ when it seems to be the same shit, different day?

Why am I awake at 2:30am?

Bernie Sanders just dropped a 60-second truth bomb on Al, and everyone needs to hear it.

The 🇺🇸 American road trip comedy film "PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES" written, produced and directed by John Hughes and starring Steve Martin and John Candy was released in the U.S. #OnThisDay in 1987 🎬 Paramount Pictures

I'm going to a MAGA family thanksgiving dinner. I'm going to try to keep my mouth shut. Wish me luck.

Mayans believed the Jaguar to be associated with the supernatural ~ that they could cross between this world and the underworld. The sun god, K'inich Ahau, was often depicted with jaguar attributes to represent his nightly journey.

And, no, Bubba, just give that tube a snap and a hard tug. You can deflate the balloon later. (To all the men who just nearly fainted, sorry.)

Joy! Even easier - 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, add a drop or two of vanilla and cinnamon to taste, microwave then top with ice cream or whipped cream. You’re welcome!

So Mr. Trump, since I'm no longer considered a "professional", and due to the nursing shortage, you will be required to empty YOUR OWN urine bag and remove YOUR OWN catheter.

A bad opinion about apple pie is honestly a nice distraction from all the news. It also reminded me of this, which is a perfect treat if you prefer apple pie filling over pie crust:

Impeachment will be a great start. The Trump Regime must be prosecuted for their many crimes. Trump will pardon most of his staff but they will not be absolved of state crimes. Trump escaped justice due to Merrick Garland and SCOTUS for his 1st term crimes. His Regime must pay this time. #ProudBlue

These guys are out in tactical gear with automatic weapons with MULTIPLE clips to hold off suburbanites in shoeless pajamas.

Kudos to Senator (and U.S. Marine) Ruben Gallego for his direct response to Drunken Frat Boy Pete Hegseth and his ridiculous "investigation" of highly-decorated Veteran and former astronaut Mark Kelly.

Wreath matches a pillow cover I made for a gift.

Instagram ready? Be kind, my Bluesky peeps. And Happy Thanksgiving!

How does USAG @marcelias.bsky.social sound? Go scorched earth on MAGAt criminality from day one? He's a national treasure.

NBC: Top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino and roughly 250 federal agents are expected to launch an immigration enforcement operation in New Orleans starting the first week of December. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Government-supported research for disease and public health is one of the highest and most important purposes of any government. Tatiana Schlossberg’s heart-breaking and powerful story is damning not only to her cousin but to the entire trump regime. Their callousness will affect all of us.

DO NOT for a moment think that anything Republicans propose for medical care will benefit individuals. The ONLY solution is Medicare, and dare I suggest, IMPROVED Medicare, for all! Socialism? My ass. Humaneness. Healthcare is a human right. Period.

It takes an honest, capable DOJ to bring such charges, and Trump has destroyed ours, leaving only incompetent sycophants. It'll probably take at least the 2026 midterms to elect a Congress willing to impeach/remove him to save our democracy. Failing that, a major Dem takeover in 2028. #ProudBlue

The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program. The evil that this man does apparently has no expiration date. Nurses make up the largest segment of the health care workforce and the backbone of our nation’s health system. #DefendersOfDemocracy
