This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

my section was all about uterine tissues creating happy little "benign" tumors that make your life hell but since they are not cancerous it takes forever to diagnose and find a treatment that works for YOU!

As a vegan, when the president pardons a turkey for Thanksgiving, I'm relieved, but since it's Trump, I can only assume the turkey is guilty of human trafficking or sedition.

5/ every once in awhile a Janet Cooke or a Jason Blair or a Stephen Glass or, it would seem, an Olivia Nuzzi slips through the defenses. But most journalists, editors, and fact-checkers work really really hard to find out, and check, the truth. And it’s why these violations are so deeply felt.

you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
“WKRP In Cincinnati” premieres 47 years ago today — a show that creator Hugh Wilson based on radio staff he knew from his days in advertising.
“Every call letter that I ran through my mind was already taken,” he said. “I think WKRP was not taken because it can be said that it spells ‘crap.'”

The CDC has not addressed this and is largely pretending it isn’t happening. Meanwhile they’re taking steps to actively reduce vaccination rates.
Pertussis cases in Texas are 10x higher than all of 2023, and 2x as high as last year — 4x for the same period. The official count is higher by a 1k than it has been in more than a decade. Last time it was over 2k was 2014 with 2,576. It’s past 3,500 for 2025.

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.
