Avg swing in specials to Congress is 17 pts left since 2024. But bc they've been so low-turnout, the data b4 last night suggested a 100% turnout (relative to the past midterm) special would have swung closer to 6-7 points. So TN-7 (13 pts) is updating priors about the share of swing that's turnout

Turkey came out a bit overdone, but everything else was great. The cranberries are once again my favorite.

Oversight aside, this sprite is really rad
We recently updated the blind cave ogre sprite with the INCORRECT amount of fingers. Blind caves ogres only have two fingers and we will be patching in the correct sprite soon. Apologies for this extreme oversight.

I told my wife I’d make Mapo Tofu for Thanksgiving if I didn’t have to meet expectations, and she said that it didn’t make any sense.
I dunno, it seems to fit thematically to me? It’s a warming winter dish.

I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year for the first time, and like every dish calls for an obscene amount of sage lol

It's pretty funny how somebody using the "Hello!" emote in Magic Arena is a dead giveaway that they have a counterspell.

Did a postmortem/retrospective for a successful project at work today. Went pretty well overall, but some people were a bit confused at having a postmortem for a successful project, is that not a thing people do much of?

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:
I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.
So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.
