Want to know how I think you can TRULY honor Thanksgiving?
SHORTEN THE WORK WEEK. We should be having a giant meal and family gathering way more often than we do, America.
The 4-Day work week is a step in that direction.

TL;DR: the *actual* poverty line in the US for a family of four with two young children is about $140,000, and there isn't much improvement in quality of life between $40K and $100K.
There's more good stuff in there too, you should read the whole thing.

I need the fourth movie to put him in a true southern gothic setting.
And also put Robert Pattison in it. I want Dueling Banjos: fake southern accent edition.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Ok this take is unhinged BUT I have my own version of this, which is that I actually hate pumpkin pie.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

I think it is very unlikely that most of these are Russian influence agents, and considerably more likely that they are people from developing economies who have cottoned on to ways to make relatively large amounts of money for them by being paid-per-view by X.
This week we learned that many of the most active Twitter accounts are foreigners, most likely Russian influence agents, operating in the guise of Red State Americans.

The hate crime charge against Alexa Wilkinson for photographing vandalism of the New York Times building is a dangerous precedent, no matter what you think of Wilkinson.
