it rules that every day now is just watching everything in your life get more expensive and worse and then also constantly being told that nothing is more expensive or worse

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Lesson learned: avoid the bottom shelf liquor.

A Democrat won ROSWELL?! …Roswell GEORGIA? Holy Shit.

The Ryan Lizza installments will continue until morale improves

if you’re cold they’re cold let your demons in

most of adulthood is just marveling at the date and saying how fast the year is going by

Second night of staying up very late to make sure our daughter, who is halfway across the country, gets safely to where she needs to be. Her flight last night was diverted with a layover in AR. Flight got canceled late this afternoon, so she is driving with strangers 500 mi back to her college. 😑

The same people who are telling you to bootstrap it are the same people telling you that empathy is a sin and starting meme wars with the pope. From their “winter” homes.

Mark Kelly: "When I heard the secretary say that they're gonna pause immigration from third world countries, I take that as a message that they don't want brown people coming to the US. And I find that disturbing."

Good front-paging.

Well, my kid was flying back to college but her plane couldn't land due to icy conditions so they routed the plane to another state. She is still waiting to find out about overnight accommodations and rebooking her flight. I really wish we'd rebooked her flight for Monday as I had advocated for.

Also, sorry not sorry. Stuffing will always be better than dressing.

I'm glad Thanksgiving is over. It's never been my favorite holiday and honestly, the food is okay, but I don't lose my mind over it. The year I made Spanish-style tapas for Thanksgiving instead of turkey and fixings was so much more enjoyable.

Make Uber aware and if they don’t do anything, add them to the boycott list

I hate the trope in stories where someone is a bad dad and husband but he does ONE heroic thing and is a big hero and everything is fine. Like there probably won't be a big moment where you fight a dragon or a terrorist. Go to your kids recital and learn their allergy list.

Among so many other things that are wrong with Hegseth's book is that it's terribly written.

Oh my god.

The last hour of driving home from anywhere into Atlanta traffic is always the worst.

It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

I guess it’s clear why the lawmakers needed to make that video

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

Introduce yourself with five animals you've seen in the wild: Sea turtle Elk Roadrunner Buffalo Coyote

Trump is threatening to “denaturalize” people. It means the revoking of citizenship. American citizens will lose their status and face deportation. If you weren’t born in the US and/or you’re not white… you’re at risk. This was what they always wanted. They’ve found their reason.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

I've moved on to second dessert.

Eating second supper right now.

I don’t think you understand how hard it is to explain to two very uninterested kids how important it is for mom and dad to see Long Island’s own Busta Rhymes perform with the Ninja Turtles at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Sean Duffy: the nyc subway is a chaotic hellscape that everyone should fear. Actual New Yorkers: come, have a full thanksgiving dinner on the L train!!!

“Now here comes the barbaric finale.”

I'm not the first to say it, but I think we should absolutely start a campaign to convince all the worst people that K2 is a *much* more impressive mountain to climb than Everest and we would all be much more impressed by that achievement

I can’t see any value in being the 12,485th person to climb Everest when you could spend the money and time helping people in need.

They also have bathroom doors that go all the way to the floor and don’t have peep slots on either side of the stall door.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly. Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer. Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

This morning I am envisioning a kinder and more empathetic world 💙 ❤️

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. 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.

REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.

Kind of rude, but I still feel seen.

I'm not your lover, I'm not your friend I am something that you'll never comprehend No need to worry, no need to cry I'm your Messiah, and you're the reason why 'cause You, I would die for you, yeah Darlin', if you want me to You, I would die for you

Every year, I profess my undying love for canned cranberry sauce and every year, someone has to brag about some cranberry slop they made from scratch with fruit and spices in it, like that makes them special. Just hush up and let me be happy.

This wins the internet today

Meets Zohran on Friday, dressing like an East Village poet who wrote something called "A Fairest Autumn" by Saturday.

I'm working a local handmade makers market today selling my candles, which are made with high quality essential oils, soy/coconut wax, and decorated with tumbled crystals. A guy actually asked me why they were so expensive. 😒
