Had Thanksgiving with the wife and young kids, sister + BIL and parents on Saturday. In a shocking moment of clarity, the parents purposely showed up an hour after my sister and BIL, so election venting could be performed in their absence. The 2 year-old finally interacted significantly with my sister, who I know was feeling insecure about him previously being anywhere from indifferent to fearful of her. The newborn slept basically the entire time. We cooked most of the appetizers and deserts ahead of time, leaving my dad to do the bird while we supervised children. Pretty uneventful, other than the turkey setting the fire alarm off twice while my wife struggled to get the toddler down for a nap. Just the immediate family today. I'm about to go pick up some Peking duck, but currently watching the toddler walk laps around the house using his fake Dyson while working on potty training.

Can't wait to see who, if anyone, cracks first at Thanksgiving. I don't plan on initiating things, but I'll damn sure finish them if someone knocks over the first domino. I thought about not providing booze, but that would be impolite and boring.

This was actually one of the first things that pushed me away from religion as a kid. I began to grasp the concept of eternity in elementary school and had regular existential crises thinking about spending it with the people at church who discussed the "gift" of eternal life. Uh, no thanks.

Do I even USA? Bitch, I hitched my wagon to a successful, ethnic woman so I could reap the rewards of someone else's hard work. If that's not American, I don't know what is.

Great, can we stop being so equitable and inclusive to mediocre white men? (As a mediocre white man, I'm allowed to say this.)

Interesting stat of unknown significance, other than proving we don't have a bellcow RB and are spreading the ball around: 0 players with 500 yards rushing OR receiving through 10 games

Game manager with arm talent he can't take advantage of. We can win with him. We can also lose games we shouldn't.

Jahdae is easily my favorite player on the team. So glad he came back

While the newborn enters the 6-week fussy stage, the toddler is at the blowing bubbles in soup stage, apparently.

But that's not what I'm proposing. I'm suggesting a stupid plan to influence a stupid man because we live in a stupid timeline.

Maybe a bunch of D leaning celebrities should meet with him and praise him for his Palmeresque dick in order to advance some non-evil policy positions?

It seems like best case scenario, a bunch of competing interests who are more than willing to flatter Trump into having their wishes granted, will cancel each other out to some degree. Because you know Trump himself doesn't give much of a shit about anything.

Last time, there were at least some competent people smacking his arm while he threw the horseshoes to decrease his success. Now, they'll be nudging them around the post

That has not been verified. The EU climate change monitoring service has ONLY said that October is "virtually certain" to be the hottest ever, not that it was the hottest ever. So I think we're good.
