Thank you for this... Important to recognize all the implications of this day. Thankful for family and community, but sad for the ways we can and do harm each other.

This Thanksgiving, read a Native American poet’s song of healing
When Allison Adelle Hedge Coke wrote her poem “America, I Sing Back,” she considered each word a note in a larger song about the nation. “I thought about America singing. That’s why this poem is a song -- a voice calling for reclamation.”

DOGE has been a FLOP, now disbanded 8 months early. Greatly exaggerating their "success" Trump and Musk lied to the taxpayers, never delivering a cent back to them. The real impact: slashing research, endangering public health, removing competent public servants, & creating chaos.
DOGE Disbanded: Elon Musk’s Cost-Cutting Project Quietly Ended
Musk said the initiative would save at least $1 trillion. But its website claims to have reached only $214 billion.

For some reason, Richard Gere's character in. "Pretty Woman" comes to mind...
But the whole point of private equity is to eat every business alive. It always has been. Acquire. Strip for parts. Debt load. Move on. That's the xenomorph, folks. That's what it does. That's all it does.
As EIC of Deadspin, @greenwell.bsky.social learned that Jacuzzi is a trademarked brand + she could laugh to the point of tears in a Times Square cubicle farm
Most importantly, she learned that private equity had gotten into the media industry to eat it alive

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

#dwts ok, I'm just going to say, what do you have to do to get a 10 this season? I wasn't sure how Robert Irwin would do but tonight was phenomenal. It wasn't just the emotion, it was also the technique. It's frustrating, because it's like they're saving the 10's for later weeks.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.
However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.
I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.
