Plate check. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.
A plate of Thanksgiving dinner. The plate is white stoneware with a green holly print and red border. The food includes, clockwise from top, mashed potatoes, two slices of ham, stuffing (in the form of a muffin), green-bean casserole under the ham, and a tossed iceberg-lettuce salad with croutons. The entire plate is on a floral-print tablecloth.

My wife continues to challenge conventional notions of stuffing (complimentary).
A muffin tin full of savory bread stuffing ready to go in the oven. The cast-iron pan used to melt the butter and cook down the onions is visible behind the muffin tin.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. You’re not getting rid of us now.

I’m not sure if I should be confident or just accept my fate.

Still on FB to keep up with family but, like the platform itself, the ads keep getting more and more deranged:
A stereotypical ugly Christmas sweater with a white background and green borders top and bottom. The borders feature white Christmas trees and snowflakes while the main field includes an image of a capybara with the caption "I am contaminated with radiation" underneath. Japanese text above the image presumably reads the same.

Hard Core Logo, from the movie of the same name. Four stereotypical punk/rock musicians are standing in front of a stereotypical brick wall. The photo is shot is stereotypical black and white.

Don't know if anyone heard but the Canadian government culled 400 ostriches on a ranch in BC because of an avian flu outbreak, but not before the owners turned it into the usual anti-government culture-war BS. Anyhow, New Yorkers might be interested to see who tried to lobby against the cull:
From The Guardian, "Canada pushes on with 'complete depopulation' plan to cull 400 ostriches," 6 November 2025: "Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, lobbied Canadian officials and Mehmet Oz, a physician and former TV host appointed by Trump as the director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, offered to move the birds to his ranch in Florida. [Highlighted by poster] US billionaire John Catsimatidis has also pleaded with the Canadian government to reverse its cull order."

Took this last week but forgot to post it.

Thank you, UPS.
A full-frame blur showing absolutely nothing but dimly lit abstract forms that might be our front step, or might be some sort of Brutakist art. It’s impossible to tell.

Who's solving the louvre robbery? Right answers only
Hal Linden as Captain Barney Miller from the the 1970's sitcom "Barney Miller." Miller is a white male with dark hair and a mustache, wearing a pale blue dress shirt with the top button undone and a dark tie. He is holding what appears to be a sheet of fingerprints and standing in front of a bulletin board with wanted posters on it outside the door to his office. The door has a peeling green painted frame and frosted glass with "CAPT. B. MILLER" painted on it in black.

Ever notice that the packaging for giant chewy Sweet-Tarts says “enlarged to show texture” but the real thing is about twice the size of the image? Our kid did.
A package of giant chewy Sweet-Tarts with the disclaimer “enlarged to show detail” next to an image of the candy, with one of the candies on top. The real candy is almost twice the size of the one on the package.

Country Music Hall of Famer George Jones, probably from the 1970s. The picture is a black-and-white head shot of Jones wearing a dark suit or sport jacket over a white shirt with a wide, open collar in front of a light background. Jones looks only mildly psychotic and/or high in the photo.

Same energy.
WWF wrestler Brian Lee standing in-ring in character as the fake Undertaker. He is dressed as a stylized undertaker with black pants and shirt, a long black coat, and a black wide-brimmed hat hiding most of his face. A 1990s wrestling crowd is visible outside the ring.

Not a shirt I expected to get recognized at Costco, to be honest.
A grey t-shirt with “Kawartha Dairy Est. 1937 Bobcaygeon Ontario” in white around a picture of an ice cream cone and two cows.
