He nailed it.

They do retreat further into their chosen realities when challenged.

We’re not required to make nice with people who openly advocate for all of this.

I hate gay Thanksgiving. What do you mean you’re showing up as “Claudia’s roots” in the 1995 comedy-drama “Home for the Holidays,” starring Holly Hunter and directed by Jodie Foster?

I tutor students in math, and one parent recently asked why I spend valuable time bringing up weird history and concepts instead of more practice.

Me: Would you like your child to like math?

Them: Yes...

Me: And when should that happen? As I drill them on a test or force them to practice skills?

this is really fucking bad
The prosecutor appointed to replace Fani Willis in Georgia moved to dismiss the election fraud conspiracy case against Trump & others. Judge McAfee just granted that motion. Case over.

American democracy and rule of law are gone. They have been replaced with fascist power and lawlessness for those with power and the brutal expression of true power against those seen as a threat to their power.

BREAKING: SCOTUS will not grant the Trump administration’s request to allow it to fire Shira Perlmutter, the director of the Copyright Office, at this time. It puts off any decision while the court is considering the other two firings cases. Perlmutter stays in office during that time.

I hadn't realized that "Pieces of April" was such a DIY labor of love! So many endearing details here. Time for a rewatch! (thanks, @gothamist.com!)
The perfect Thanksgiving NYC indie film almost didn't get made
At the turn of the century, Katie Holmes starred in "Piece of April," James Hedges' now-cult classic.

If you're observing the settler holiday this week, and you have a little extra, please consider donating to mutual aid for Indigenous people or supporting Indigenous causes. We're all here still on stolen land. My favorite is the Native American Rights Fund, but there are many great ones!

A relatable olm
Cave life's not all bad for olms. They live *exceptionally* long lives for an amphibian (100 yrs!), possibly arising from the fact that they have no natural predators & have been known not to move for up to 7 years.

Just tiny pink dragons guarding their tiny water-filled caves for a century. 🐉💧
One blind, aquatic salamander may have sat mostly still for seven years
Olms may live for about century and appear to spend their time moving sparingly.

An acquaintance told me "I haven't had sex with my wife in two years, she put on a lot of weight". I looked that fucker dead in the eyes and said "I hope she found someone else to have sex with then."
