Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Remember: If someone makes comments about your weight, or folks start spouting bigot shit, or your social battery runs out:

Come over here for a second. Sit down. I want to talk about Thanksgiving.
You know how the release of a new … I don’t know, STAR WARS movie or something will sometimes result in a silly number of increasingly tenuous pieces of writing or video or whatever? Thanksgiving is that, for food people.

Y’all wanna hear a wild story? Charlie is right — this medley Prince made 30 years ago, blending many of his greatest hits & fan favorites into an extended mashup, is one of the most fun “only Prince could do this” things he made in the 90s. BUT: he told us he was gonna do it. In an AOL chat room…
Unpopular opinion: the Purple Medley is one of the best things Prince ever did.

Absolute nightmare. For professors, but also for students, who will be deprived of life-altering truths.
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The correctest take
Mamdani got a humanities degree.
His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.
