Inside I’m “It’s Thanksgiving here so that means … TIME TO WATCH THE YULE GOAT”

I’m convinced the oven is home to an overly helpful minor god with no sense of timing. Last year, 17 lb turkey cooked to bronze perfection in 3 hrs. This year, 9 lb turkey ready in slightly under 2 hrs. Both times at 325 F. Both times the bird was ready an hour before the guests arrived.

“Lean in” all you want, baby girl. I’ll be leaning back in the evenings and on weekends with my work phone off, my mind clear, and my stress low.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

1) It's totally fine to appreciate that MTG is creating an intra-party feud.
2) For those of you welcoming her into the coalition, you clearly never watched pro wrestling. This has "false face turn" all over it.
3) I long for the day when MTG stands for Magic: The Gathering again.
