The problem with Thanksgiving pie discourse is that the best pies are made with spring/summer fruits. Like, a good sour cherry pie is pretty much the GOAT dessert, but you're not going to get that in late November

It’s not the sexiest of garments. It arguably looks more like a discarded fishing net. And yet it has cast a spell over the internet

The dangerous rise of Buddhist extremism: ‘Attaining nirvana can wait’
The long read: Still largely viewed as a peaceful philosophy, across much of south-east Asia, the religion has been weaponised to serve nationalist goals

Wicked: For Good has some really good bits and some boring bits. But holy heck was Jeff Goldblum phoning it in. Kind of a problem when he's the nominal antagonist

Ranking Star Wars:
1. The feeling I had unwrapping the Millennium Falcon on Christmas when I was 7.
2. Star Wars
3. The euphoric dream I had when I was 8, that I was allowed to grab as many SW-themed toys as I could in a toy store.
4. The Empire Strikes Back
5. I'm in my 50s now.

My hot take is Revenge of the Sith is better than Rogue One (and maybe The Last Jedi)
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Interesting argument from Bill McKibben: He says the far-right political attack on liberal values was prefigured in the rise of the religious Right. (He also laments how little the mainline denominations did to fight back against the co-opting of Christianity.) www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Trump’s wrecking-ball approach to America has a precedent: the evangelical perversion of Jesus’s message of radical love to one of hate and aggression

For the record, I'm a Gen Xer (though arguably never a particularly cool one), and the first CDs I ever bought were 'Vivid' by Living Colour, 'Ritual de lo Habitual' by Jane's Addiction, and 'Beatles for Sale.'

Have I ever listened to Hey Jude by The Beatles? Absolutely not. It's addressed to Jude, not me. What about Annie's Song by John Denver? Nope. Not my song so none of my business. Everyone should treat the private communications of musicians with the same level of respect as I do.
