![REVERE, Mass. —
A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey.
The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

So much enshittification that it's now hit knitting and crochet patterns.

Shoppers can be thankful for discounts on turkey and stuffing this year. While overall grocery prices are up, this year's Thanksgiving meal should cost a bit less than last year's.
Give thanks for the discounts: The feast will cost a little less this year

Regardless of sweet potato or pumpkin, especially canned, roast them until they're deeply caramelized. Throw the canned pumpkin on a parchment sheet and roast it for 40 minutes at 350.
And a pinch of cayenne.
Dry brined turkey is the only way to go.

I’ll start:
— Sweet Potato Pie is VASTLY superior to Pumpkin Pie
— The best turkey in the world is not as good as an average roast chicken.
— Stuffing should not actually be stuffed inside the bird for several reasons but mostly: Ew

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
