It’s Thanksgiving today and that means a lot of mish mash movies on the tv and like Christmas, mindless snacking.

But, we should hate less on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (I know it’s not its source!). Every time I see it I will stop to watch it. I find it a perfect cheeseball afternoon movie.

If you have yet to read One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This I encourage you to seek it out in any form. Or begin with the essay below. So many people I know have been silent. I will not forget that when they speak out now.

The great thing about the library is you find things you’ve never heard about. Anywhere. Not on any best seller list you follow or online or anywhere. Simply sitting on a shelf in the library. Waiting. And you choose to take a chance on it based on a cover, a blurb and your gut. It’s analog magic.

Maniacs.

Get up early on a Saturday if you want, be a weirdo, I don’t care, but in my complex where all main bedrooms face onto the common road, do you have to start & idle your car like its 1979 and 30 below? Open and close trunks - repeatedly? Organise your recycling? Before 7am??? Have some self respect.

They're spinning this as a marketing fail but I think the real story is just that people are stupid as fucking rocks now fortune.com/2025/10/10/p...

Lay's drastically rebrands after disturbing finding: 42% of consumers didn't know their chips were made out of potatoes | Fortune

New bags—matte-ified and designed to look like wood planks (like a potato crate)—will hold the chips with revamped ingredient lists.

Honestly. What a weirdo day. I can’t tell if that means good or bad things are on the horizon. Let’s all hope it means good.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

This one made me laugh.

Companion to this:

My hair is now fading, it’s a soft red now. Maybe it’ll go blond like my cousins. Still frizzy as hell though.

If I don’t wear lipstick I look ill. ILL. People will ask if I’m not well if I’m simply trying to do a ‘nude’ lip. So, always Dior 999.

I did my Gr.12 history final project on Albert Speer. I've never forgotten any of that project. His biography, Inside the Third Reich, is a chilling and fascinating literary work of abject narcissistic denial and culpability. Even at 18 I hoped we'd never see the likes of the Reich again ... alas.

Albert Speer, a name people are saying more and more.

How dare The Pope be Catholic!

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 3d

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.
