This ⬇️ is what we are responding to. Nobody said this out of the blue. The context was whether or not it's a good replacement for "American." That was the only reason for these responses.

I already told you I believe you. You can stop trying to convince me.
Post above saying, "why use 'USian' when gringo is right there as a valid alternative."

It's a beautiful day and apparently I am not getting around to cooking 😄

Well, I live alone, I can do Thanksgiving stuff all weekend if I want! And I probably will

Happy holiday, everyone!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Pangs," dinner table scene This was a very clumsy attempt to include the genocide perpetrated against Native Americans in the holiday episode, but I appreciate that this extremely white show at least made the effort Anyway we have Spike (hilariously poorly bound in way too many ropes), Willow, Giles, Xander, and Anya, seen from Buffy's POV

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy...
"Spaghetti is weird," with various phases of making spaghetti: Wet the drys = add egg/water to flour Dry the wets = hang your freshly cut pasta to dry Wet the drys = put the pasta on to boil Dry the wets = drain the cooked pasta Wet the drys = sauce the drained cooked pasta Dust the wets = add grated cheese to your sauced pasta

What I'm wearing to Bluesky rehab
Endora (Agnes Moorehead) on Bewitched, wearing a fabulous poncho printed in intense jewel tones, that looks as if it may have been made from a wall hanging, over a deep green long-sleeved mock turtleneck This is accessorized with her usual extensive assortment of big chunky jewelry, red hair, flawless manicure, and vivid blue eyeshadow There isn't a store manager in the world who would be able to say no to this woman

This is the kind of a cat that would herd sheep if he lived with a flock of them

They've been known to do it!

You want a copy of it?

I know, it's in light mode. I swear I'm not evil, I just have lousy night vision.

A common misconception

A Canadian comedy troupe attempted to correct the record; the effort was not a great success but did become a cult classic

"I don't care about Christmas. I really only like Thanksgiving and Halloween."
Copy of an idiotic tweet by a child rapist with dementia saying "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Eminently mockable.

3. BEFOREHAND, IN CASE THIS HAPPENS:

3a: Use veggie broth instead of chicken, if you usually use chicken broth in any vegetable dishes. I promise it's just as tasty, and bonus: anyone can eat it.

3b: Pick up some of this gravy mix ⬇️. It is, I swear to gawd, not only vegetarian but vegan!
McCormick brown gravy mix in a 21-ounce container my vegetarian self has in my kitchen right now. I think they used to use beef fat, but they don't now. It's fine. Roasted vegetable juices are even better, but this does the job you expect gravy to do, and you can make it in about 2-3 minutes. Add some butter for gloss and mouth feel, if what you have is a vegetarian and not a vegan.

Walmart is clearance-saling these cute lightweight lounging sets (they call them joggers but let's be real) and I ordered a black one

Because I don't have a cat anymore so I can wear black around the house now 😭

Anyway it arrived today and I like it here's a link

"Is that a parakeet in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"

Now to the important part: Both birds were reported in stable condition post-sedation. And we have a pic to show that at least one of them recovered very well!

www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
One of the two smuggled parakeets after the effect of sedation wore off. (U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of California) It's a young green parakeet with a yellow ring around its eye and an orange splotch on its face near the beak, between the eyes. It's adorable. It's looking at the picture-taker like it's expecting a treat, and I am sure it got one right after this!

Post by Emily Flitter, formerly NYT, now at Bloomberg: "The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story." November 13, 2025 at 10:35 AM

Once used for situations involving national security. Now merely a meeting room to try to salvage the vanity of one corrupt sadist credibly accused of raping children.

Link to #TrumpEpstein #SituationRoom story: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, along with with members of the national security team, receive an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 2011. Photo by Pete Souza. My editorial addition: They all looked appropriately sober and somber. And engaged mentally, like the intelligent professionals they were and are.

It's kind of awful to see this in my skyline when I don't have food money, can't pay homeowner's today, and don't have any clean clothes

Please share if you can't help; thank you so much

Change one letter, ruin a candy: Fruit Wellies
Bag of Le Preziose Jelly Candy "jellies with fruit juices" White bag with picture of cute jelly candies that look like soft knit hats, and assorted fruits, mostly pink and deep red colors, to indicate various flavors. There's pomegranate, blueberry, and raspberry, and possibly more? These are Italian, and this is the auto-translation of their description: "The Gelees Mora and Raspberry, marry the notes of rose, mint, cedar, and clove of blackberries, to those of milk and grass of the Raspberries, in addition to those of the berry fruits of both."
