Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this thread! I ended up making:

- Spatchcocked, herb butter turkey
- Oyster dressing
- Butternut squash soup
- Herb gravy
- Cranberry sauce with maple syrup and wine

It was great!
Alright folks, as a TL cleanse and as a resource for first-time Thanksgiving hosts like me: please share your favorite recipes for the big meal.

Thank you in advance!

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

The French Revolution is in the American wind. While the stock market soars, Trump and decades of corrupt and morally bankrupt Republican agendas have splintered the very heart of the American economy.

The SECDEF confirming an investigation to the world and labeling an individual under investigation as being part of the “Seditious Six” is unlawful command influence.

This is maybe the first time I’ve felt he’s in actual trouble. I never thought Mueller would get him, nor did I expect Biden to go for the throat. I don’t know how it ends here, and I’m not saying he can’t get out of it. But it’s the worst trouble he’s been in.

A (very small but non-zero) part of me wants this game to go at least three more hours so folks have to explain how something that happened at 2:05 came ten minutes after something that happened at 2:55.

The GOP campaigned on "We are better at government than the Democrats"

Enough voters believed them and gave them the keys to the government.

And now its "Its all Democrats' fault that we suck at governing"
Trump: "It's their fault. Everything is their fault."

We just found this disturbingly prescient yet hopeful piece by Sixteen Rivers poet Terry Ehret floating about on Bluesky. In these dark times, there is some solace in knowing that poets have raised—& continue to raise—their voices against injustice. Thank you, @indyauntie.bsky.social #resist #poets
