The turkeys, brothers from Thailand, run a crypto fund and made 10-figure investments in Jared Kushner’s enterprise.
Justice will be served at the White House on Tuesday as Trump pardons a pair of turkeys for fowl reasons, participating in the 78th annual National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation. https://cnn.it/48iywxI

* When you bite on a wintergreen Lifesaver, it creates a visible "spark." This phenomenon has been observed with various foods, and scaring the crap out of people in the process, since the 1600s. The science behind it helps us understand how things break in nature.

Latest Monday evening 0Z HRRR continues southward trend with Tuesday storm. If verified that would increase snowfall totals forecast for MSP area by Wednesday AM. Stay tuned, snowfall forecast may "inch up" Tuesday before the snow flies.

One of the funniest benefits to having larger boobs is that you may lose one of these gorgeous earrings from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social , but then you find it later in your bra.

My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.

I’m happy to report that our home got 99/100 for its energy score. We lost a point as we need to get an insulated thing to go over the attic access ladder thing. We found out that not only our attic but our walls have closed cell foam in them. And our home is pretty much air tight. Yay!
Running around my house cleaning, as we have a home energy audit at noon with CEE.

If you have celiac/coeliac disease or are gluten sensitive, see if you can find these Walker’s gluten free shortbread cookies/biscuits at your local grocery store. Holy crap, do these taste wonderful—not like sadness at all! And no tapioca/cassava flour!

Just imagining someone coming home with her for the first time. They’re looking forward to having sex…and then the person sees her dog bed. Or the bare mattress without sheets that she’s now using.
I’d be noping out of there so quickly.

Bit of panic when the door to the utility room (one of those stupid barn door types from last owner) got stuck wide open—this is the room that our youngest, smallest, void cat is OBSESSED with & it isn’t safe. Luckily, despite my husband’s directive NOT to touch it, I was able to get it to close.

Just a reminder that many Christmas/holiday plants are very poisonous to cats (and dogs.) Be careful and keep your plant-munching kitties safe!

That moment when your soul leaves your body a bit, when you try to give as concise and edited explanation as possible to your adult daughter (who’s on Bluesky) about the picture below…and seeing it dawn on on her face why I might know about that site.

As I mentioned later in comments, I meant the sex act—not the entirely squicky participants.
