Some of his Q&As sound vaguely familiar, but before today I don't think the name Isaac Chotiner would have rung any bells for me. The torrent of posts today led me to read some of this.

This holiday season, I'm thankful for our common backyard birds. Sometimes we take the common birds for granted, but the fact is we should be grateful they've adapted robustly to urban and suburban settings. Here are a few shots from this morning.

If nothing else, be thankful for the smallpox vaccine. Also, modern period products. And modern dentistry. And anesthesia, and antibiotics, and no-fault divorce.
One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.
