I need for #Spotify to add a "nope, this isn't it" type "recalculate" button for my Daylist.
Sometimes it's spot on, but other times it's a complete miss.

Now we can count down until Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving. It is the last pure holiday - uncorrupted by greed, consumerism, or guilt. It exists solely for the purpose of taking a day to break bread with those you love and be thankful for the things you already have in your life.

I have cool t-shirts. I like to wear them in the winter, but it's cold, and I'm a 90s kid, so I wear long-sleeve t-shirts underneath.
It's hard to find good long-sleeve t-shirts for this. They need to be a bit more form-fitting, still cotton, and no sleeve cuffs. HELP!
