I am a dev and I dislike AI because

•it cannot operate without stolen data
•it does not work reliably
•it lies all the time
•it is terribly inefficient
•it pollutes
•it is/was oversold
•the biggest frauds champion it
•the people behind it are psychos

none of these are unreasonable complaints

No cute stories about pardoning turkeys, I imagine. No joy in this White House.

Trouble with all of Trump and Miller’s schemes is they pile up, and drown each other out.

We’re celebrating Thanksgiving with the in-laws tomorrow, so it’s a very low-pressure Thanksgiving Day today. No rush to have everything clean by 3 pm. We can cook today and tomorrow. Just chilling.

Annual tradition of posting Ida Lupino carving a turkey in a photo published in newspapers in 1942 but that i now know was taken in 1940

It rubs the butter on the skin or else it gets the baster again.

One of my favorite parts of the parade: when they announce the performance of some Disney or similar plastic performer as if they’re a household name.

“And now…INCONTINETIA!”

The Macy’s parade has a definite pro-Hispanic/Latino bent this year.

Ultimately, Lucy knows she can’t keep Charlie Brown down. Here she realizes how hollow her own life is and that, for all her cruelty, she will never have what he has.

In the US, Catholic sisters return Wisconsin land to Ojibwe tribe in a historic first. The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have transferred a lakefront property to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for the same $30,000 they paid in 1966.

For the first time, Catholic sisters return land to a Tribal nation
"This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

In the original broadcast, when it’s revealed Snoopy had a full Thanksgiving dinner ready, he turned to the camera and distinctly growled “Fuck them kids.” It’s since been edited out, and the footage was “lost.”

Love the part where Patty is going full asshole on Snoopy and Charlie Brown, and Sally truly doesn’t give a shit, continuing to mow down on her popcorn.

Fun Fact: Peppermint Patty’s real name was Patricia Peppermintapopolis.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but, Jesus, I really hate those annual videos where someone's relative loses their shit over a side dish being "incorrectly" prepared.

ACTUALLY, the pilgrims NEVER visited stores the day after Thanksgiving for fantastic values and savings.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Also, it’s got to be a helluva thing to work for Trump, knowing he plans to screw you at some point.
As any architect knows, there’s nothing worse than a nightmare client.
