Thanksgiving and Christmas were the only two times a year my Italian American family would do "American" food, which I still don't understand
it fascinates me how most everyone in the U.S. does turkey for Thanksgiving, but we are all over the map as to what we eat for Christmas (as is proper for a hugely diverse nation).
I come from a Christmas prime rib roast family, myself.

I also use the bacon method. Although turkey is Christmas dinner where I come from.

I wouldn't just delete it, I'd prosecute those responsible
I'm biased here but it strengthens my belief that global scale algorithmic social media is one of the worst inventions in human history. I'd delete it off the face of the earth without a second's hesitation

Billions of Federal dollars poured into suburbian development while starving cities of the same. The racialized, mass suburbanization of post-war (45-72) is one of the most well-studied parts of this period. You're usually unfairly maligned but here you're doubling down on your ignorance
"In a perfect state of nature everyone would share my preference for a dense, urban, car-free environment" is a pretty idea but I think we should be forced to grapple with the possibility that many pretty ideas are not correct
Will's gotta stop with bad housing takes. Americans did not merely reveal preferences. There was concerted government action to destroy old urban housing, impose exclusionary zoning on new construction, plus massive subsidies for highways and individual mortgages that gave us SFH sprawl.

I would also like to take over local fraternal organizations. How many members does my local Masonic or Elks lodge have? No idea. Let's go find out
an idea that crossed me, that i have no concrete reason to believe would work in practice, is that groups like DSA (or just not-dead-on-arrival regional democratic party orgs) should pickup robust schedules of happy hour at X where X is a rotating list of bars/parks/libraries

Dick Van Dyke outlived Dick Cheney so I think that's a point in favor of chimney sweep being a healthier job than war profiteer

The best way to cook a turkey is in parts, pulling individual pieces when they're done. It's easy to butcher it yourself!

The Mastermind is gorgeous with really solid performances but, whew, perfectly recreates the tedium of male ennui which makes for a tedious film

Jamie Taco stole his lines. The director doesn't do anything. Jamie took 15 of his lines. He's here to take them back because he loves his wife

Forgot the camera work, the physicality in this movie is fantastic. Sean Penn's bowleggedness, Benicio del Toro's is a fluid solid, Leo's clowning, Teyana Taylor moves like a downed powerline. Really good time at da movies

This was me; I never wanted anything more than to be a paleontologist after seeing this movie
There are some paleontologists that got mildly annoyed by Jurassic Park's impact on the cultural view of dinosaurs, but there are WAAAAAY more who saw dusty Sam Neill making very little money as he dug through the desert and thought "THAT. That is my north star. I know what I must do now."
