A very delightful film noir!

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

"North Carolina cannot afford four more years of Roy Cooper," Morrow wrote. So this dipshit doesn't know that Senators serve for six years www.wral.com/news/local/m...

The more I see of this administration, the more I want to just go live in a cave and watch cheese age

Wife requested breakfast for dinner tomorrow. Can do!

WOW! THANK YOU!! — GCN

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Nvidia forecast fourth-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates, betting on booming demand for its AI chips from cloud providers against the backdrop of widespread concerns of an artificial intelligence bubble reut.rs/48eCmrU

Can't have a negative report if you never release any report. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/19/b...

I think I was a meemaw in a past life. I made this beauty (and a bunch more) to go with some chicken & vegetable stew #BiscuitPorn

In one of those videos they were using the turkey to clean the gutters, you can see the leaves in the gutters still burning! Ground rules for frying a turkey: 1) Outside 2) Fire Plan 1) Thaw completely (check the inside cavity!) 2) Dry completely 3) Account for liquid displacement

This year my daughter's school isn't splitting their fundraising with some random MyBooster crew, and doing direct fundraising. If you would like to, please consider a small donation on behalf of Amelia Y. They'll be running next Friday! app.givebacks.gives/sandpiperspr...

"We are announcing today Trump Farms, where you and your family will work to bring down the price of that old-fashioned word GROCERIES. Everyone will get a chance to harvest our beautiful CORN and SOYBEANS. In fact, it is MANDATORY!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER"

My daughter's Sonic army is back up after the carpet replacement

... Why do I have the assistant director of philanthropy for NC State emailing me asking to meet next week?

Donations and corporate match is already in.

I have shed tears repeatedly over this

Normally I'm a "wait until Thanksgiving to start Christmas stuff" kinda person, but it's been a pretty shit year so I say bring on the Santa and the jolly. Crank the Donny Hathaway and pour me a hot toddy.

It's fall, so time to make some fall spice syrup. No pumpkin in this, it has all the warming spices and a mix of white and brown sugar to give it plenty of caramel notes. Toasted the spices for 30 seconds, bring to a boil, then simmer 45 minutes.

I really feel for my neighbors who are on furlough. They're not going to go hungry, but that doesn't mean they're not going to face struggles this winter. One is saying he thinks this will go through November, the other works at a department that is actively trying to get everyone to quit (EPA)

More of this please

Dogs and I enjoying a fire...

Where the hell was this fire 25 years ago?

The thing I don't really have a grasp on is "how much is enough to just stop?" If I were to lose my job tomorrow, what's the amount saved that my family and I could live on? There are too many variables and unknowns for me to come up with a good answer

Date night tonight! Babysitters are expensive, but when John Mulaney comes to town you make a night of it!

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Who's your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

Carol Kaye is one of the most influential bassists in rock history. If you haven't seen "The Wrecking Crew", it's with a watch.

23% of all resident medical doctors are on H1B, many working in rural and underserved hospitals because those hospitals have trouble getting doctors to move to Danville, VA or Salina, KS. www.business-standard.com/amp/immigrat...

Fragomen can't give current H1B visa holders any definitive guidance. Trump has done it* again! * Made dumb vague proclamations that will destroy lives of people www.fragomen.com/insights/uni...

Things are accelerating.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Aer Lingus to launch flights to Raleigh/Durham (RDU). A new route from Dublin (DUB) to Raleigh/Durham (RDU) commences April 13 with 5 weekly A321XLR: • EI85 Depart DUB 3:25 PM Arrive RDU 6:55 PM • EI84 Depart RDU 8:25 PM Arrive DUB 8:45 AM (+1 day)

If a rule exists, yet the people that it is trying to affect can just walk around the rule, then the rule is meaningless and shouldn't exist. This is how I feel about backdoor Roth IRA contributions and Modified AGI limits.

Well worth it, and if you have a GeForce card that supports rtx, has some of the best ray tracing implementation!

"The back of the plane is brought to you by airline deregulation" is one hell of a statement. The Freakanomics 2-part episode on the FAA is pretty darn informative.

PUTIN: MEETING MOVED TO SIBERIA PUTIN: ZELENSKIY WHO? THERE'S NO ONE HERE BY THAT NAME

Just a reminder that the House of Representative is unnecessarily capped at 435 voting members, where it has been for 96 years. In that time, the US population has almost tripled. It's long past time to expand the House.

OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO CONSPIRE AGAINST THE US! We've shut them out and so they're going to protect their own interests. If I were the rest of the G7, I'd probably try to deliberately crash the US economy for the fuckery that Trump has been pulling www.bbc.com/news/article...

Post zoomies

The de minimis exemption which exempted goods under $800 from tariffs has now been ended. This affects 92% of goods shipped to the US. This officially the ends buying cheap goods shipped from China on sites like SHEIN, Temu and Ali Express. Permanently it seems.

...40 lb lap dog is currently snoozing

Nvidia crushed earnings ($46.74B vs $46.08B est), with profit and revenue both up almost 60% YoY. But shares dipped 3% after hours because data center revenue missed slightly ($41.1B vs $41.34B). Classic Wall Street. Nvidia expects $3–4T in AI infrastructure spend this decade which is just bananas.

US shows have begun today for #KPopDemonHunters which has exclusive 2-day SAT-SUN run. Many thtrs programming on multiple scrns. No sign Netflix will change "no reporting #boxoffice" policy but we'll keep eye out. 1 thing's for sure, #KPop will be 1st or 2nd most popular movie in cinemas this wknd!

Peanut again walks away embarrassed by the antics of Purl

1. (puts on "former pro film critic" hat) The quoted opinion is wildly wrong BUT it is true that the cinematic grammar/storytelling/tech of older films is so different from today's that current audiences have to work to get into them - much like older work in pretty much every other creative medium

3 weeks in and we have a couple of goofballs in the house for sure!
