Honestly you can eliminate most. Turkey and Stuffing is all you really need. Pumpkin Pie is a nice bonus but doesn't even have to be a thanksgiving-specific thing.
with charity and goodwill, i must here part ways with rolls.

I've rewritten this a couple of times and still have more to say on specific points, but let's start with this. This year's standings could change, but the long-term view on the Leafs feels pretty bleak.

The Dream Is (Probably) Over - Hockey In Paranoid Times
It’s difficult to look at where the Toronto Maple Leafs are right now and not see the end of an era playing out before us. Not because of their record. Yes, being 8-9-2 through 18 games puts them five...

Start to my being out today
- needed a specific bus
- barely missed it
- walked 3km until the next one came
- ended up getting short turned at the split anyway
- “I might still be going that way but I won’t know for another 20 minutes”
- start walking
- bus starts up again a minute later, passes me

Meanwhile, MAGA is still pretending that trans women are the real bathroom threat.
Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

Gonna pop this one out of the AMA thread from yesterday because it's the most interesting one anyone asked here or on Twitter.
My answer is no. My channel tapped into a really unserviced niche at the time, but would've been impossible to monetize since it was basically just broadcast recordings.

If you could go back in time would you have invested more time into your YouTube channel considering the views you were getting?

I just spent 30 seconds looking at the date on the family counter with "JEFF!" on it wondering what I did wrong before realizing it was for my birthday coming up

Literal dark ages stuff
Under-the-weather TikTokers are slicing raw potatoes and placing them in their — and their children’s — socks before bed. The theory is that the potato draws out toxins.
However, experts warn against relying on folk remedies over medical care.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Ended up next to Joe Bowen on the Go train back from the rink (to the rink for him, I guess). He definitely didn’t remember me (been a while since we’ve overlapped work wise) but he seemed to appreciate the compliment on his Notre Dame jacket so I’m still happy I said hello on my way off
