I'm respectful of the effort that went into Pluribus and I gave it four episodes.

If it's some kanamit thing it's cookbook time. But there is no nemesis right now but Carol imo. And A Misanthrope's Journey is not really my thing. I know not every protagonist is a hero but I'm really lost with her.

If you're brining a turkey, a fun piece of trivia is that tractor supply's buckets are food grade.

The slender man stabber is a better fugitive than Jair Bolsonaro.

Globally we gotta elect people who have like gone to a bar or cafe, used hand tools and gone to the store to buy something in their adult lives.

Turkey is good. There are a very limited number of times during the year that I need a 15+ pound piece of animal protein on the table. That's all it is.
it is tired to the point of cliche to say if turkey was good, people would make it more than once a year. but it is understated that at least one American explodes every Thanksgiving in a brave attempt to make the main dish more palatable

My sister's children, both east coast surfers, are following long-established practice among their peers and doing two years at the city college in Santa Barbara, at which point, with a decent gpa and an associates, they can finish a bachelors at UCSB. Rent is insane, but tuition is so reasonable.
Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Look I will be honest it's not too difficult to roast a turkey well & have it be enjoyable...but it is far easier to not lecture people who are understandably disinterested in rolling the dice on a fifteen pound animal protein centerpiece (that can go wrong!) about their choice being a skill issue.

I know I sound like a puppy here but I'm starting to think that deeply immoral men teaching systems that are amoral but have moral effects is a pretty bad mistake. I'm not angry at mere hypocrisy- but Summers is deeply wicked and that smears everything he touches with that wickedness.
the implicit standard of "criminality" is doing a lot of work here, mostly as a desperate appeal to avoid thinking (not grading any of your students' exams is not criminal behavior either but you can very quickly see how that might nevertheless put a professor's employment in jeopardy)

Apparently the other 4D of the 5D chess the democrats are playing are simply not visible to the non-elect.

Love my esoterica-based political party. It's almost like being Catholic again!
There is an entire industry of "journalists" desperate to keep their jobs, while fundamentally not understanding who has the Congressional majorities.
Democrats blinked. Again. Six weeks into a GOP-made shutdown, they folded without securing ACA subsidies. Republicans saw the collapse coming and instantly pivoted to abortion. Now they're trying to extend Hyde to private insurance.

So America's most afflicted tick sufferer and president of the NYT in-house GK Chesterton Fan Club has taken the time this morning to best-case the entire Epstein thing.

Maybe the Times should hire more women or something.

Fuckin Catholic converts man, they are super special.

I am so glad we've emerged from the olden times and don't have to worry about like the bentshank king being deposed by a nephew born with tertiary syphilis who lives for twenty eight days but starts a war that lasts a century over rat pelts. So glad our guys went to college and wear suits & stuff.

I learned very late in life that advent calendars have treats of any kind in them. My aunt Peg, who was probably 10 at the time, made my mom and dad a felt calendar with a tree silhouette on top. Every day you'd unpin a small illustration she'd cut out of a magazine from a day & pin it to the tree.
everything is bonkers right now and we need a timeline cleanse. let’s play a game. if I handed you a blank check but you could ONLY spend it on an Advent calendar, what absurdly pricy collection of little treats are you buying yourself?

Leaving aside their amoral abandonment of principles and focusing just on shopping?

Unlock the shampoo. Unlock the deodorant.

I wouldn't be smiling either if my whole job was to unlock the detergent jail every time someone needed tide.

(Also? the amorality is 100% not helping.)
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

One of the big problems with this is that his supermarkets suck shit and people outside of the city don't fuck with shitty supermarkets.
I swear my dirt bag supermarkets in the Hudson valley are literal palaces in comparison to the best in Brooklyn.
