broke: overnight brine, roasting a turkey for hours, obsessively basting

woke: shove the bird in a 500 degree oven for an hour and a half
A perfectly-browned turkey sits atop a baking sheet. Its skin is so crisp that it makes a sound if you hit it with a spoon. The meat is so tender, it practically melts in your mouth. There are also potato quarters scattered around the sheet — far fewer than the number we started with because I kept eating them as a snack while the turkey cooked.

thanksgiving is a time for people to come together, to celebrate the spirit of unity despite our differences, and to demonstrate that, here is busta rhymes performing "break ya neck" with raphael the ninja turtle

It seems impossible that Alan Moore actually exists but I am thankful that he does—and for this incredible piece, which, this is the opening www.metropolitanreview.org/p/giant-of-t...
Alan Moore is 72 years old now. Since the 1980s, he's been celebrated as the greatest writer in comics history. But he's done with all that. Full-time novelist now. Finally. Spends his days at home just writing, reading, and smoking "frightening," "staggering," "saturating" amounts of weed. "I use it to work," as he told Alex Musson. "Always have done." Except these days he does it without the weekly deadlines, the phone always ringing, questions and chitchat with illustrators, coauthors, publishers, press - none of it. Life of a novelist now. Solitude.

Alan Moore, the author of Watchmen, on superheroes
"Heroes, " Moore says, "are dangerous." And the superhero narrative in particular is a fascist "power fantasy," a "white-supremacist dream of a master race," one that now, with the explosive success of the MCU and its multimedia sprawl, has saturated the culture so completely as to have trickled into the ground water, and polluted even our political storytelling, such that - as he explained on the How To Academy podcast — "the fantastic [and] unbelievable threat" that we've come to expect in our shows, movies, games, comics, novels — it'll get absorbed, as an effectively simple storytelling device, by the nightly news, and the political commentariat, so that it manifests in daily life as "the underground Democrat paedo demons that were suggested by Anon, and the equally- unbelievable superhero savior that is working behind the scenes to rescue us all will be 'The Donald,' who's even got a superhero name."

Silent movies are better than modern movies because they always shoot their shot. There's no namby-pamby saving the good stuff for the sequel(s). They have you there and they WILL entertain you with everything they have.
