My grandparents, who were children of Russian-Jewish immigrants, loved Thanksgiving cuz it was a holiday that they could celebrate too
As a civil (and not religious) holiday, Thanksgiving opens the door to a lot of new Americans to be able to participate in a broader America in their own way. No other public holiday comes close to the assimilating force of Thanksgiving

I dunno, man. I have zero emotional connection to pilgrims and all that stuff. But a public holiday at least nominally about gratitude (and also about togetherness) is a good thing.

"What we are meant to commemorate on Thanksgiving isn’t merely a mythologized version of our origins," our columnist Bret Stephens writes. "It’s a celebration of American rebirth — and of the possibilities, personal and political, that go with it."

An opportunity for families and friends and, by extension, communities, states, and the country itself to have a national reset.

bring back the America where Jake & Ellwood Blues made the Illinois Nazis look absurd as a side-quest to their Mission from God
Sigh... Getting harder and harder to explain that the Nazis were the bad guys.

it's pretty hard to watch these days when pretty much a whole generation of dudes turned into Ralf
I’ve been watching Sound of Music with my kids for their first time and am surprised at how emotional it makes me. The combination of the music, remembering seeing it as a kid with my mom and the timeliness of the story. It’s a lot.

Happy to chat with the administration about the Nuremberg tribunals.
Including about the crime of enforced disappearance and the limits of the defense of superior orders.

File this under “Even more benefits of living in/near a major urban area.”
For NFL fans, it’s particularly awesome: If your local team is on Prime video or ESPN and you don’t want to pay for those subs, you can still watch the game because every game must be broadcast OTA in the home market.

I’m just thinking of this because I’m watching football while not paying anybody a penny: Do Americans know that you can (still!) watch HD digital broadcasts of all the major networks over the air, for free, complete with programming guide data, just by hooking up an antenna to your TV?

They do not. Cable TV reached saturation point and the FCC did not really give a damn about whether people in a broadcast area could actually receive broadcast signals. The knowledge of antennas was lost in the intervening generation

I saw a video recently whose thesis was, basically, that the people in charge of Fox baseball broadcasts do not watch or understand baseball as a game with its own dramatic logic and this is the same sort of thing. The director/producer is putting on a show where he should be watching the game
Peacock/NBCSN was so busy showing a replay with 0.6 left in Nebraska-Kansas State, they missed a game-winning free throw. 🤷

An enormous wall of trash about 500 feet in length and up to four stories tall was recently discovered near a highway in the English countryside, leading to a national outcry across Britain.
A Colossal, Hidden Pile of Trash Ignites Outcry in Britain
The discovery of a mountain of garbage near a highway is the latest example of what experts say is a growing problem of criminal organizations profiting from illegal dumping.

The funny thing is that nobody in the Senate has much of a belief system either
The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.
Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.
Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.
He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.

Expanding the House on the Wyoming Rule should be a priority. All it takes is an act of Congress and it helps adjust so much of the imbalance we are feeling right now
This is do-able and would fix a LOT of problems. Far more realistic than trying to cover the Constitution in wite-out
Easiest fix: expand the House. Then the # of electoral votes for each state would be more in proportion with their population.
