On December 4, 2007, in the Usenet group “Friends of the Friendless,” someone wrote: “Happy Friendsgiving Y’all!” And that is the first recorded use of ‘Friendsgiving’ in print.

This is what Maddow was talking about last night. Folks in L.A. go and buy a 17 cent “ICE Scraper” and then stand in line to return it. They are intentionally jamming up registers, creating havoc, and sending a very cool message… I ❤️LA

Wordle 1,620 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 wow, I can’t remember the last time this happened!

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead! So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

I guess the NYT couldn’t be bothered to make their headline legible… but the good news is that The Diplomat is back for Season Three on the 18th, and these two are now regular cast members. If you loved The West Wing, this is a great show. Smart and very sexy.

See you all there!

Every state needs to follow Chicago’s lead! A new order from Chief Judge Timothy Evans prohibits immigration agents from making warrantless arrests of people inside or around Cook County courthouses. This new rule, is intended to ensure that individuals can attend court without fear of arrest.

For those who don’t intimately understand how news works and why Bari Weiss’s unearned elevation to head of CBS News matters, I’d recommend watching this in entirety. Also, will forever point out irony of how an admitted DEI hire thinks her hire was meritorious while Black people’s aren’t.

CANDACE: “Trump wants a Nobel Prize for the planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza they can profit off of and turn into a beach town… every family set to inherit what they did will be cursed… when they build a Trump Hotel there, I caution 🌍 to stay far away from that cursed land.”

An unpopular take on Black Rabbit: The pilot relies on Jude Law until deep into the episode, when Bateman finally appears and things click. Jason lights up everything, which only made me realize that Jude Law is decidedly uninteresting without his British accent. #ScriptSky

DOOMSCROLL SIDE-EYE RIZ DAD BOD All became part of the dictionary today. I remember when Google became a verb… And we thought it was the end of civilization as we knew it.

If you haven’t read this… now would be a great time.

I think we’ve reached a certain point when @velshi.com @velshimsnbc.bsky.social features Orwell’s 1984 in his banned book club. His guest to dissect the novel is the author of The Divergent series. This should be informative and chilling. Coming up now or MSNBC.

Wow, this woman is on it. The Dept of Education is collaborating with Turning Point USA and Heritage Foundation to come up with a new public school history curriculum. I mean, what could go wrong? She highlights books to buy and keep in your home to teach your kids what really happened. Followed!

Seriously, folks. It’s essential we push back fast on this ABC Kimmel situation. I know it will hurt, but please consider not watching these games this weekend and make the teams and ABC feel our power. We do have power, and taking our eyeballs & dollars away is the biggest thing we can do🙏

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused. Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job. Brian Killmeade, Fox & Friends.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Jimmy Kimmel has been pre-empted indefinitely… Based on comments he made about Charlie Kirk. SOUND UP.

@dorian-araneda.bsky.social Hey, what are shills and why do you put people on lists?

We had a horrific emergency involving our kids today and right now I'm just sitting at my computer in a daze and in shock. Thankfully they are okay but others are less fortunate.

“I before e, except after c…” …unless your neighbor weighs his eight-year-old in a sleigh. This "rule" is best thought of as an easy way to remember the spelling pattern of words that came to English from French. receive perceive conceive deceive deceit conceit receipt

'Quiver' is a noun that means "a case for carrying or holding arrows." 'Quiver' is also a verb that means "to shake or move with a slight trembling motion." They are unrelated. We hope this didn't make you do the verb one.
