A cool way to liven up a Thanksgiving conversation is to ask who at the table is considering buccal fat removal and then pull out before and after photos of what that is.

Happy Noam Chomsky Day to all who celebrate
One year at a bar the night before thanksgiving a stranger leaned over to ask me the name of the guy who was both a linguist & an activist & I blanked for a minute & then leaned over & shouted NOAM CHOMSKY, & he shouted back NOAM CHOMSKY & soon we had the whole bar chanting NOAM CHOMSKY NOAM CHOMSKY
Small town and suburban bars the week of thanksgiving have the most insane vibes—adults at home visiting parents and already going insane and sneaking out at night to drink. Weird and terrifying kinships form

Mom calls Houston police for help; HPD turns the kid over to ICE; John Whitmire at first claims they didn't do that, then reverses himself because his earlier statements simply weren't true, but says not to politicize it. 🤮
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.
