It's already Friday afternoon here but happy thanksgiving to my fellow Americans back home and overseas. I'm grateful for my family, friends, universal health care, trams, and libraries.

Watch this and feel something good instead of doom scrolling for a minute 🥰🥺
I have thought about this commercial all week, and how much the persistent efforts by the adult character would mean to me as a kid. I also cried the first time I watched it.
Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others.
Love all, help all.
Go Jackets.

Anyone here who can recommend puzzles or toys for a very intelligent puppy with absolutely no manners? She loves peanut butter. Photo for reference. 13 weeks old, Australian Shepherd. We are stuck at home but have a backyard.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.
All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

This is a completely avoidable and tragic death in the USA in 2025 😩 Mothers generally want to do anything to protect their babies, I know I did. These people are being lied to and manipulated.
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

We've all got COVID, and I'm now symptomatic. The puppy is a maniac and does not enjoy being housebound. I have an assignment due tomorrow, it's a video pitch 😫😂 Not sure I'll be completing that one today... at least the little one is on the mend.

I can’t quite put it into words, but Trump praising Mamdani on the same day that MTG resigns in opposition to “big Tech, big Pharma, the war complex and big donors” feels like a harbinger of realignment.
There is a political earthquake trembling beneath the surface waiting to break through.

In case you writers out there have ever felt imposter syndrome, "From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible" is an actual sentence in whatever this is.
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.
In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.

When I left the NYT for the BBC, I found the same strange mix of brilliance and inertia.
An editor once told me that pushing for change at the BBC was like trying to steer a massive ship. Luckily for me I was brought on to innovate reporting and distribution processes 🤪
