My unpopular opinion: in 100 (maybe 200) years, we will look back on people who consciously chose to eat meat in the year 2025 the same way that we look back on people who owned slaves in the 1800s.
Because it's the suckiest time of year to be a vegetarian, my family always does our part by adopting a turkey at Farm Sanctuary, a really wonderful organization. Consider tossing them a few bucks if you're so inclined.

My interest in JFK conspiracy theories has never been great (very American inside baseball), and I’m only reluctantly interested in conspiracy theories in general (dark and patience-straining, though unfortunately relevant), but this is kind of a bonkers wild read
Saturday was the 62nd anniversary of the JFK assassination. No better time then to read "The Prankster and the Assassin", by @agorightly.bsky.social, which ponders why the founder of Discordianism was writing a book about Lee Harvey Oswald *before* JFK's murder.

This got lost a little in the Marjorie Taylor Greene resignation video, but she basically told QAnon people that there was no "plan to save the world" - a QAnon slogan. (Important, because she started out as a QAnon celebrity).
