I'm getting on the statewide rare bird alert for South Carolina with this one, and more importantly it's a lifer for me (a species I've never seen before)-- a Sandwich Tern! They should be farther south by now, but luckily this one is holding on for me :D

I still know most of the lines in the "Thespis" episode of Sports Night at least when the episode is playing in front of me. Awful memory for a lot of things, but not episodes of TV I've watched a zillion times.

This is a very good kitten. Look at her!

Full of playtime and purring and also a little bit full of bad poops, but we're getting that sorted.

I remember this Wall Street Journal graphic claiming that CEOs work 55 hour weeks, and maybe only 6 hours of it outside of meetings would be unambiguously considered work if they were in an entry level position.

"Conservative groups, funded by fossil fuel magnates, spend $1B/yr interfering with public understanding of what is happening to our world. Few investments rival the return they've gotten from evangelicals."

An oldie but goodie makes the link between fossil fuels, climate denial, and U.S. religion.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A woman (30s?) is demonstrating to a small human (3?) how to use a yo-yo.
She's particularly adept at old school yo-yo tricks like:
"The flail"
"The dangle" and the
"That was intentional, honest."
Small Human is VERY impressed. (1)

Doubling up with the Thanksgiving theme!

I will ALWAYS be thankful for my former neighbor's uber aggro Tom Turkey who came over and terrorized my a*shole bro and his friends for an entire evening.

Literally cornered 3 grown ass men in the garage 🤣💕

This year, I'm thankful for the fact that no matter how far I go back in my family tree, I'm still not related to Donald Trump.

Seriously--I can trace my ancestors back about 2333 generations to the 10,000 or so people who survived the Toba Catastrophe, and Trump's ancestors still aren't there.

Poor Marcel has just found out that he was adopted by vegans so he won't get any leftover turkey. (don't worry, like most vegans we do not feed our cats vegan cat food. He'll get plenty of churu and the fancy Tiki Cat and Weruva flavors he loves)

Also true for a lot of liberals' "guilty pleasures." Tons of people tuned into sexist, racist Howard Stern for a transgressive thrill. He platformed Trump a lot and helped mainstream him as a "fun, ordinary guy" prior to his political career. This is at the same time Trump is hanging out w Epstein.

I cook my stuffing inside the turkey. My family has been doing it that way for almost 80 years. Not a single person has ever been food poisoned. I don’t stuff it too full, I put it straight in the oven after stuffing, I monitor the stuffing temperature, it’s fucking delicious, and I DO NOT APOLOGIZE
