FASHION & ACCESSORY PEOPLE, HELP: I like to sign up for the teens on the gift tree request because they seem to get overlooked. A 14 y/o girl has asked for "big red ash nylon shoulder bag" but I can't find anything like that in stock anywhere. All suggestions appreciated!

I keep forgetting that I want a machine to pollute my air and water while stealing from artists in order to mainstream lies and I'm so grateful the AI defenders are here to remind me!
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

If politics are on the table for Thanksgiving and you want to find common ground -- a majority of all Americans, across party lines, support raising taxes on massive corporations and billionaires (and polling has shown this to be true for years).

To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.
President Trump brought grievances to the Thanksgiving pardoning ceremony on Tuesday. He joked about sending the turkeys to a prison in El Salvador, and claimed that last year's turkey pardons were invalid. n.pr/48nUsYx

A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.

Bigfoot and the Yeti are clearly cousins -- what are 5% of you doing trying to stir up family drama by claiming to believe in one and not the other.

Investigated by the FBI at the personal behest of the president because I repeatedly referred to the director of Rush Hour as "Bert Ratner" on a podcast.

Lists are hard but also this list is insane, so I'm just going to use it to note how many I've seen (82) and make a game out of watching the ones I haven't.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!
