Went to my first Celtic festival last weekend in Tucson, and a couple from Paradise, CA, had a pop-up shop there. I lived in Chico for about 6 yrs (moons ago) and was devastated when the Camp Fire decimated Paradise. These folks lost everything in the fire and have rebuilt their lives there.

Ummmm, WTF???:

According to @anisota.net, my most-used emoji in 2025: 💩 (227×)

I used 227 of this emoji in one single skeet a month ago. 🤣

I know nothing about silent movies, but I enjoyed this thread.
Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.

This thread is a reminder that the '80s were wild, man.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has always been a surreal journey through its own twisted reality.

I will never look at Top Gun the same way.
man loses his best friend, has to come to grips with it, blames himself, but then listens to 2 women and an experienced man about it and grows up, faces his fears and overcomes them, covers himself in glory and then decides to retire and become a teacher

not bad, frankly

Just hearing purring, even if a kitty is not beside me, relaxes me.

Anyway, adopt these smol lovebugs!
I hope your holiday is as sweet and cozy as these three bottle baby kittens purring on a blankie together (featuring Pyewacket, Cloud, and Nettle, who will all be ready to adopt next week).

I love that Ken Jeong is recording the performance on his iPhone.
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I have thought about this commercial all week, and how much the persistent efforts by the adult character would mean to me as a kid. I also cried the first time I watched it.
Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others.

Love all, help all.

Go Jackets.

Thanksgiving is one of those days where I miss my grandma so very much. Every year of my childhood, she used to host and cook a Thanksgiving lunch for my entire immediate family and made sure there was always candied yams on the table specifically for me.

Love you and miss you always, grams. ❤️

"Biden filth and incompetence" WTF?

It was built in 1922 and suffered multiple issues after reconstruction during the Obama Administration AND in Trump's first term.

But, more importantly, it's where MLK Jr. delivered his "I have a dream" speech, which is probably why they want to destroy it.
Trump’s next target for destruction is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. I can only imagine what sort of white trash gold coated monstrosity Trump will replace the Reflecting Pool with. #ProudBlue

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Friends: do you know a Megan, who recently hurt her ankle in a Trade Joe’s parking lot and had surgery? Because her pissy ginger boyfriend is talking shit about her at Denver airport and thousands of women on Threads from *at least four* continents are gonna hunt him into his last days.

Pass it on.
