Thanksgiving menu 2026
I'd like a beaker of rosehip'n'apple cider and a big pastie, a cheese and mushroom one; after that I think I'd go for a piece of hot mint-cream cake, with sweet cream and beechnut sauce poured all over it.

This.

Whenever local government reviews the library budget and asks, "Why should we give you money?"

We want the library to be able to say, "Because we provide a valuable service used by many people!"

Libraries are like muscles, using them more makes them stronger. 💪
Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Of course, the fact that we steal a bunch of high value real estate and redistribute it as pavement with access priced only in human misery is sort of the massive underlying problem that building an endlessly patient taxi exploits and breaks.

The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

Not only are generations fake, they’re also something we basically invented a few decades ago. Compare when generations occurred (shaded areas) with when we settled on their names.

I lived life as an autistic person for 41 years, and frankly it's wild to see someone who views your existence as a blight elevated to a position of such consequence. I generally see no reason to discuss being on the spectrum publicly, but I'll make an exception for this vile eugenicist. 1/x
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

There’s something important, though, in the fact that Mamdani is going to meet with Trump at the moment of Mamdani’s maximum politician power and popularity and Trump’s greatest weakness and vulnerability. Trump is *always* submissive next to someone who is popular with huge ratings.

My dream job: Redwall kitchen beast
The kitchen fires burned late, heating the ovens as extra cakes, puddings, and pies were baked golden. Bands of moles plundered the orchard, wheeled great cheeses from the storerooms, and lugged forward big barrels of chestnut ale and pennycress an' comfrey cordial from the cellars.

If they aren’t “professional“ you can’t get federal (Stafford, Perkins) loans for them. The fact that most of these are women- dominated fields is deliberate.
