It is time to seriously consider the possibility that this failed president doesn't even know what the term "vetting" means

Democrats should ask: when residential natural gas prices are at their highest ever, why are we exporting a record amount? Why not use it to make energy more affordable here?

The GOP has no answer for this; it contradicts everything they claim they're doing.

TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

The only thing I have to say about Thanksgiving is now I really want a dog and I can't have a dog I'm a restaurant manager and it's mean to the dog to leave them alone all the time like that

Unless I got TWO dogs...

Just learned there are companies offering rental communities the ability to split their monthly rent payments via third party.

Biggest recession indicator yet.

Watching this again and once again the kids are mesmerized. A perfect film
An expression of corporate ideology is how they keep remaking the literally perfect Chuck Jones version of THE GRINCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS to "update" and "modernize" it instead of trying to make any new children's entertainment in the same style as the extremely successful original.

This is my yearly reminder that

A) The Pilgrims never turned on the Wampanoags. The Puritans who did were a whole different group of people.

B) Thanksgiving became a holiday to celebrate whooping the Confederates.

Sometimes we can just enjoy traditions without guilt!
Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

Also, holiday pro-tip: Find a local high school with a culinary arts program, and find out what they're taking orders for. We got a pecan pie and a giant lemon pound cake (both delicious) for $27 total. You've knocked something off your to-do list and encouraged a young, budding chef.
