I’m in the process of learning tarot and focusing more on my practice rather than the haphazard way I’ve done it. I’m not comfortable with labels except to say my craft is mostly secular. I’m a deconstructed Christian exploring and expanding my beliefs.

I monitored these same sorts of white supremacists for years (to fight them), and let me tell you.

You have to CONSTANTLY, aggressively deprogram yourself.

Even just, the language. We are social creatures and we absorb the language we're around. Guess what words enter your mental vocabulary
This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

This is the way. When I hosted family gatherings I did this every time. That way I wasn’t stuck at the stove all day.
Make a spreadsheet. List cooking times (and resting for protein), device (oven, crock pot, stove top, smoker, grill, etc) and temperatures. Work backwards from when dinner is ready. Project manage this fucker.
most people just aren’t going to magically know how to juggle all those dishes just because it’s a holiday. there’s no shame in doing a couple of things really well

This. Also when my kids lived at home I would roast a smallish turkey several times a year and I’d freeze some and we’d eat the rest. I haven’t done it in a while because even a small 8lb bird is just too much for 2 people.
Here’s a non-Thanksgiving turkey tip: if you have a reliable local barbecue spot and they make smoked turkey and you’ve never had whatever kind of turkey sandwich they make with it, it will probably change your life
it is tired to the point of cliche to say if turkey was good, people would make it more than once a year. but it is understated that at least one American explodes every Thanksgiving in a brave attempt to make the main dish more palatable

Viewing my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents in a whole new light.
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?

Did another gobsmacker headline drop this morning or are we getting around to discussing one that got lost in yesterday’s group?

Regardless, I need eye bleach and to vomit before I get coffee this morning.

PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you.

She wanted to run for senate. Trump wouldn’t let her. She knows she has no path to higher office through MAGA. She’s been getting popular with the left cause you’re all a bunch of fucking suckers. And she taking advantage of the moment to make a noisy step and gain more attention.

This. Enemy of my enemy doesn’t equal friend or ally. Occasionally they can be useful.
Just because MTG is useful on some level doesn’t mean she’s your friend.
November 22, 2025 at 2:25 AM
This. All of this. She’s not trustworthy nor can she ever become redeemable at all.
Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.

She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

He made an AI video of AJ Mendez kissing him because he "likes" her sooooo much. But doesn't respect her enough to take it down when she directly asked.

Yeah.
