Please keep this safety tip in mind this Thanksgiving:
Reddit comment: A lot of people dress up their dog in a chef costume and try to teach it to act as an assistant chef, walk on hind legs, etc. Rarely work. The dogs eat everything.

The spirit of Thanksgiving has infused the White House press office today, bringing us together in a blessed moment of harmony and goodwill.
Steven Cheung @StevenCheung47 Jane, respectfully, shut the fuck up for trying to politicize this tragedy. They were protecting DC and trying to make the nation’s capital safer. People like you who engage in ghoulish behavior lose all credibility. Not like you had any to begin with. Quote Jane Mayer @JaneMayerNYer · 20h This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost. x.com/kaitlancollins…

Newspaper clipping: "LEE - Because they couldn't find a dump open in Great Bar-rington, two youths threw a load of refuse down a Stockbridge hillside on Thanksgiving Day. Saturday, Richard J. Robbins, 19, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and Arlo Guthrie, 18, of Howard Beach, N.Y., each paid a fine of $25 in Lee District Court after pleading guilty of illegally disposing of rubbish. Special Justice James E. Hannon ordered the youths to remove all the rubbish. They did so Saturday afternoon, following a heavy rain. Police Chief William J. Obanhein of Stockbridge said later the youths found dragging the junk up the hillside much harder than throwing it down. He said he hoped their case would ibe an example to others who are careless about disposal of rubbish. The junk included a divan, plus nearly enough bottles, garbage, papers and boxes...."

Initially, weary of ALL things MTG/NYT, I didn't read this.
But it's only nominally about MTG.
It's wholly about MAGA's roles for women.

The secret of great pie is perhaps a little like love: the butter and flour want to merge, but not completely. So the cold butter stays a little separate even in the fiery furnace d'amour and that's what creates flaky, light pie crust.
The secret of great pie is perhaps a little like love: the butter and flour want to merge, but not completely. So the cold butter stays a little separate even in the fiery furnace d'amour and that's what creates flaky, light pie crust. NOW you want to put all that back in the refrigerator or freezer unless someone has been peeling apples for you, but even so it should take less time to make the crust than peel all those apples--eight to a dozen for a pie. Core them, cut them up into pieces not too small, not too chunky (you don't want mush, but you don't want huge air pockets between the chunks, maybe 8-12 slices per apple), mix them with sugar and if they're flat a little lemon juice and/or even a tiny bit of grated lemon rind. Cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger can also go into a pie, separately or all together for a spicy pie. If your apples are juicy, mix some flour in with them--this will make the juice thicker and less runny. A tablespoon (of flour or cornstarch or tapioca flour) at most. Meanwhile, put your oven on about 350-375 degrees, or whatever the centigrade equivalent is. About 190, I think. Pie isn't like cake. It's like love. The secret is all in the action, not the ingredients. Mostly. It's also like love in that rules don't completely explain it; practice does. Also every step of it is messy. A wine bottle makes a wonderful rolling pin if there's no rolling pin. Now the tricky thing about rolling piecrust is that it wants to stick to everything. It is confused by attachment theory and you don't want it to stick to the counter, the rolling pin, etc.

Compare and contrast: I wonder if it has been restored, or the one on the left is older.
Foreground of blacktop, background of grassy plain and a few trees. Center: a lonely probably granite obelisk with an empty frame at the base. There are eight rectangular bollard-size posts, in groups of four, enclosing a patch of lawn or failed garden, with a couple of bushes in front left. It is a clear sunny day. Foreground of blacktop, background of grassy plain and a few trees. Closer up than the other photo: a lonely concrete obelisk with a bronze plaque at the base. It does not quite fill the space. There are eight rectangular bollard-size posts, two at each corner, enclosing a patch of sidewalk pavement, and behind to the right there's a big map. It is a clear sunny day.

One thing we can try on Thanksgiving is to address difficult topics with the difficult people we love.
Let’s agree to stop ‘keeping the peace’ this holiday season
As we approach the holidays, here are eight tools for discussing difficult topics with family that center connection over conflict.
