Master thread of reactions to old BTS content:
We did turkey for both holidays. I HATE turkey. Now I do steak. Or chicken.
it fascinates me how most everyone in the U.S. does turkey for Thanksgiving, but we are all over the map as to what we eat for Christmas (as is proper for a hugely diverse nation).
I come from a Christmas prime rib roast family, myself.

I also use the bacon method. Although turkey is Christmas dinner where I come from.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The image is a row of replies along the lines of “wtf?!” and “oh no”. Picture of brick and current wall in thread.
Right now on reddit there's a guy inventing a new kind of brick to build his home with and it's going about as well as you can imagine

Every year, I roundup the best Black Friday menswear sales. This year, I'm breaking up the list into two parts, as some stores have gotten an early jump. The list spans everything from J. Crew pieces to designer lines. Come back Friday for more deals.

I would like him to turn the lense on his apparently very large quilt collection / quilting in general.
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

There’s something very sweet and homey about being invited into JK’s kitchen while he’s cooking. The soothing sounds of chopping and him talking to himself and occasionally waggling a shrimp at us.

Have I really worked my whole life just so a bunch of insolent, upstart kids can tell everyone me and my mates were racist war criminals and bastards to be reviled? And I’m afraid the answer is: Yes, lads. You can burn the grass but you can never hold back spring.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

For the uninitiated, Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey of the Montreal Victoire are married, have a habit of fighting on the ice for each other, and got penalties together at today's game. Hockey romance is not a fictional genre in the women's game, that's for sure.

It's time for everyone's favorite chronologically unanchored holiday, The Story of the Lizard in the Leg.
Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats:
1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
