If you don’t get Christmas cookies and candy from me, you may wonder if I’m being passive aggressive…maybe?

It’s wild living in the South and being around all these churchy people that are so intent on taking away from those that are less fortunate…or supporting people that make it their job to do that. Everything that could make someone’s life better. Thinking about that in this season of giving.

I love our little Bonne Maman Advent Calendar my sister sent us. Today was Apricot-Lavender. My favorite has been Plum-Pear-Star Anise.

One of my best friends called me asking if he should get ARC Raiders. After a hearty YES, we talked about our health, the need to exercise, diet, our upcoming procedures, aging (both of us are 50+), skiing/snowboarding, and back to video games. Nurture your friendships, especially as you get older

Started replying to the spam texts

One of my daughter’s friends is traveling with her boyfriend and asked to stay at our house to break up the drive. OMG I’ve dreamed of this day! It seems silly but I love hosting and being a place where weary travelers and be fed and get rest. Also I love my kids friends. They’re amazing

I don’t know that if this is real, but I didn’t know how bad I needed it to be until I was today years old. (As a side note, I own the #1 purchase, a different #3, and thought very hard about buying the #2 lol)

I’m rich, white, and male…people are supposed to love me! Why don’t people love me?!

Fucking 100% this

A while ago when my kids were a lot smaller I would wake up on Sunday mornings and have coffee and play RDR2. Same Sunday vibe having coffee and playing with a free load out on ARC Raiders

Ok, so I was a ball of tears watching KPop Demon Hunters after a bunch of wine for Thanksgiving….or it didnt have anything to do with the wine

This Thanksgiving, I hope that I have imparted upon my children the benefits of a good stereo, and a great playlist for facilitating cooking

My idea for ARC Raiders is a riff on the bounty hunter. If someone is helpful , being able to send them loot or earn cred, by getting“up voted.”Similarly you can “down vote” someone, and once they reach a threshold of X downvotes, then a bounty can be placed. They earn cred by avoiding the bounty.

Things that I think about all the time are food, my kids, music, and video games. Not always in that order, but reliably one of those four things.

I don’t know who gave Cory Booker my phone number, but he’s asking me for money…

It’s gonna be on like Donky Kong

Thinking about Siembra NC, and their organizing efforts around ICE in NC. Thinking about all the people that volunteered and were trained. Reflecting on the fact that podcasts and politicians aren’t going to save us…it’s grassroots movements and the people that are going to save this country.

Gotham won! Paramount+ sucks!

The Sierra Nevada Fresh Hop isn’t always my favorite seasonal, but this year it seems to be pretty on point.

Every Thanksgiving. IYKYK youtu.be/2UFc1pr2yUU?...

It’s wild how people come on this thread and are like, “well actually, the way to have leftover bread is….” People are crazy lol

Still playing Borderlands 4 when I want something real mindless. Just trying to finish it now. Haven’t played COD in weeks. Still dipping my toe in Battlefield. It’s cool. ARC Raiders is hands down the most fun. Hands down.

Omfg this.

This is too good 💯💯💯😳😳😳

Fuck. Never heard this song. Made me tear up

Been thinking about ARC Raiders. I think it is about as close as I’ll ever get to my wish for Rockstar to put out a sci-fi game. It’s tense, atmospheric, and gritty. Never had fun like this in an extraction shooter.

Trump sides with murderer MBS and ignores the sex trafficked women and unanimous votes to release. The Trump reign is over. This is the #NoKings Era now! Stop protecting predators. !

Kinda wondering what Ezra Klein or someone else is going to write about Miss Piggy?

we chase these rats back their holes, no disrespect to actual IRL rats

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

ICE is in Durham The Siembra NC HOTLINE is 1-336-543-0353 Save this number to your contacts and if you see ICE activity call. www.siembranc.org/la-migra-hot...

ICE is in Durham. I’m hearing they are talking about posting up at schools. Be a presence. Be safe.

Still thinking about the last Secret Show on The Bulwark and how Catherine Rampell didn’t seem too eager to criticize Larry Summers even as these Epstein emails have been revealed. WTF. “Not a good look.”

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

ICE is in Wake County. Stay vigilant. Durham is probably very close.

What a great thread and reflection of Jesus, masculinity.

This is wondrous

First question into Arc Raiders and I get it.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

GOTHAM!!!

Love this book idea but also just this thread.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

There’s a lot wrong with this world, but one amazing thing is our phones and how we can message friends/family when you’re thinking of them. If you didn’t get my point,MESSAGE PEOPLE WHEN YOU’RE THINKING OF THEM! “Hey you!❤️” “Thinking of you. Hope you are well!” “I ❤️U” Little time/big reward. ✌️❤️🙏

I have a hard time believing that Trump supporters are going to be upset if anything comes out that proves he slept with minors or even raped them. He is already an adjudicated rapist, and has been convicted of sexual assault. His supporters were fine with that.

Trying to get ahead of things and I was frying onions for T Day green beans and they got dark.Got some GF fried onions at the store and they’ll be fine.Point being is try to come at your feast days from a place of peace/love, and find someone to share that feeling with. Green beans are just a side.
