I highly recommend dining out for Thanksgiving.

No muss, no fuss ✔️
Limited interaction with family ✔️
Multiple choices beyond the bird ✔️
No pumpkin pie ✔️
Quick escape to the bars that open at 6 PM ✔️✔️✔️

He is known to gorge himself on colossal amounts of white meat. Some people say he doesn’t even chew.
I’m seeing a lot of DEI in today’s Macy’s Parade! Hope Steven Miller is already in a food coma!!

I read this push alert as thespians not therapists and almost clicked.

Frankly, I’d rather take the advice of a bunch of thespians.

This is one of the greatest threads in the history of Bluesky.

Put @moudhy.bsky.social in the hall of fame immediately.
I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).

I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.
can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

Happy Thanksgiving kids!

Here’s a banger from My Bloody Valentine: It’s a homage to deep-frying an entire turkey in a bubbling vat of lard.

Listen at your own risk.

That, & - I don’t care if this sounds ableist to some, these statements apply to him and no one else - anyone who watches a fifteen second video of him talking and wiggling in his seat who doesn’t see a fucking charmless weirdo with negative charisma is a ready, willing victim of a wallet inspector
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

It sounds like the DOJ clown car just ran over Kristi Noem.

Does she think her Mar-A-Lago face is going to save her like an airbag?

I regret to inform you there is more Olivia Newzzi: the print VF will feature a nude portrait by artist Isabelle Brourman that is also destined for Art Basel Miami Beach. Notably, its inclusion appears be a surprise to VF staff. VF looking worse and worse here. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Her career trajectory is less promising than John Fetterman’s.
The new editor of CBS News thinks that Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch debating the 2nd Amendment is “news.”

So, pour one out tonight for the actual journalists at CBS who have to listen to this drivel in the am news meeting

(She also says Dersh is “charismatic,” but that’s the lesser horror)

This BBC article gets right to the heart of my rants about modern media. The vast majority of big MAGA accounts were fake yet they’ve managed to find a handful of small Democrat fake accounts and given them equal merit. Fake Scot indie - yes. No mention of fake Reform or ‘English Patriot’ at all.
