Not a traditional Thanksgiving at our house today, but I made a huge pot of shrimp and crab gumbo that reminds me so much of my gulf coast (Gulf of Mexico still) home. My great grandmother’s gumbo recipe & my Aunt Flora’s Broccoli Cheddar Cornbread & it is the most comforting meal to me.

Obviously, a smartphone from today isn't going to still work in 120 years.
But we should be able to get 5 years out of a $1,000 phone without it causing the economy to collapse.

“This is what corruption looks like,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett said about a firm with ties to Kristi Noem secretly working on a DHS ad campaign. “They’re stealing money from the American people’s pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.”
Lawmakers Call for Probe of How Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts

CNBC loves to promote toxic work culture.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

It will never cease to amaze me that so many tech bros read Lord of the Rings, decided the hobbits were the bad guys and Sauron and his forces were the good guys, and have built their entire personalities around being corporate ring wraiths.
My rule of thumb is if the company is named after something in Lord of the Rings, it’s almost certainly evil.
Since its founding in 2017, Anduril Industries has become one of the hottest companies in a crowded field of defense-tech startup.
Its fast-moving approach comes with its share of setbacks.

Trump’s immigration detention camps exist to drive profits for the prison companies giving him money.
The more profit they make, the more money they’ll give him, and the more people he’ll find to fill up those prisons — it’s not about crime and it won’t stop with immigrants.

I'm angry that two National Guard were shot today. They never should have been there in the first place.
Trump's willingness to endanger the lives of National Guardsman & US troops to make himself look tough, is what passes for GOP leadership.
