I have nothing important to say. Expect high doses of science, nerd, pop culture and useless opinions.
Also a dad. Oh shit, who let me do this?

Yes, Stranger Things is still quite good. I intend to consume it all this weekend maybe.
But are you watching Pluribus? Because WTF & can we please talk about it. If you have not watched it and know nothing of this show, go find it. Its a trip and the kind of show I want to talk about with people.

I for one appreciate the volatility of NFL rosters as it relates to expectation vs reality. Its the journey of every football fan to try and makes sense of it year after year, only to fail. The lesson is try to enjoy the chaos of week to week football.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

This is the push I want to see from the press. If you even remotely push him, he crumbles. Let him lash out. Its his job to answer these questions so ask them. Ask them all. If this is how he wants to run this gov.t then he can answer the questions.

I need my brain to be hyper focused on cleaning and thanksgiving prep. Instead I seem to be craving a full ADHD shutdown.

Pluribus is a wild show. I had no idea what this show was about and maybe that made it all the better.

Leaving a well paying job for work I love with no guaranteed future of a better role has been rough. I really love sci comm and science education. Going to work every day is great. I just hate living on the edge with a much lower income. Hopefully it changes in the new year.

Many people have strong feelings about Thanksgiving. I admit that I have never expressly disliked it but only in recent years have I switched to being a big fan.
If I could cook at every family gathering, I would be happier.

I've been incredibly productive these last few days. Non stop cleaning, cooking, and getting to projects that needed done. An unusually relentless pace for me
I just needed to say it somewhere. Into the void will have to do.

Was cruising today with cleaning and project planning then just hit a mental brick wall. Been on my phone for an hour. I hate my brain some days.

There is and will continue to be a housing shortage across the country. No decent person thinks these will do anything more then keep people in poverty and in dead end jobs.
Experts in the mortgage industry are skeptical. Buyers would pay less each month, but would end up paying more over time. Here's what to know about the proposed 50-year mortgages.

Also Shut up JD. Release the Epstein files!
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

This is both comically ignorant economically and, on the immigrant count, empirically wrong by a factor of 2-3.

Today feels like a tidal wave of Epstein news and movement and many arent talking about it. I dont think its for lack of want but because so much of it is there and its impossible to keep up with it and report on it accurately.

Accurate. Many of us I think know this but we have to keep pushing regardless of this likely outcome.

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

If you have someone you can call to more pressure on about the Epstein files, do so. As many force multiplies and there can be need to be pushing hard.

Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
