Really happy to hear this. My spouse went through something similar and the feeling of relief that comes with a clean MRI is just unbelievable.

Hope it continues to be, as it was for us, a very weird and bad six weeks that just fades into the rear view mirror with no further effects.

It is once again that hallowed time of year, where my dad, The Mad Man of Thanksgiving himself, makes an insanely comprehensive spreadsheet for the renowned holiday meal

Pretty good

Love that. This started because of church music. When you have to sing at 4, 7, and 11 there’s just no time to do anything elaborate.

Only the turkey. If it’s good enough for Bob Belcher, who the hell am I to disagree?

All three of the big man transfers are perfect fits somehow, but Yaxel being an obvious NBA player who could be in the NBA now and yet plays his ass off and is unselfish while being the high paid NIL guy probably really helps set the tone.

The base is just a crème anglaise with 20-ish crushed green cardamom pods. Steep the pods for half an hour off heat, strain, chill (you can put in a gallon bag and an ice bath if you’re pressed for time), and then into the ice cream maker.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Smitten Kitchen’s pear, cranberry, and gingersnap crumble is one of our most cherished Thanksgiving traditions. This year with homemade cardamom ice cream!

Family Christmas Eve was always wings, shrimp cocktail, and a fancy cheese board. Family Christmas Day, eggs Benedict.

Now that I’m off on my own I’ve kept the Christmas Eve tradition but moved to steaks for Christmas Day.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 4d

it fascinates me how most everyone in the U.S. does turkey for Thanksgiving, but we are all over the map as to what we eat for Christmas (as is proper for a hugely diverse nation).

I come from a Christmas prime rib roast family, myself.

I also use the bacon method. Although turkey is Christmas dinner where I come from.

sometimes you just need to take a step back and marvel at the absurdity that is the left-NIMBY mindset

these are not normal, rational people. they have descended into a bespoke form of madness

I strongly believe that the yimby movement is the most concentrated collection of Adolfs Hitler in American politics and I don't think anything good will happen while they retain a modicum of power.

This is obvious in CA, there's a sense in NYC that we can be Yimby's w/o the Hitler part. I think that's impossible bc of the material interests of real estate.
Anyway you'd be the perfect person to write something about this

Look, women no longer do shit for free is actually at the root of a lot of social disruption. The question is whether you think the solution is women going back to being unpaid and unprotected by their own labor.
