#Thanksgiving & football go hand in hand, and THE FRESHMAN (1925) shows the frenzy has been around for over a century. Harold Lloyd’s chaotic climactic game helped shape every underdog sports comedy that followed. Touchdown! 🏈

it is absolutely true that lincoln tried not to get too far afield of public opinion on slavery, calibrating his positions and actions according to what he thought was the mainstream. but it is important to note that at no point did lincoln ever disavow or deny his *sincerely held antislavery views*

Anyway, I only do factual jokes now:
A horse goes into a pub
The barman screams "Holy shit, it's a fucking horse" and eventually has to call the fire brigade to remove it.
He's bringing a civil case for damages against the owner of the horse.

Democrats' playbook for Trump 2.0: Tune out the noise and focus on economic issues
As Trump floods the zone in his first week in office, Democrats are departing from their "resistance" strategy in his first term and zeroing in on issues that cost them the last election.

My kid and every kid in her class is sponging off the government because the school makes sure everyone sits down for breakfast 15 minutes before class starts so the kids who need it don't feel different than the ones who don't.
