I'm bringing this 3-pound, solid milk chocolate turkey with me to Thanksgiving this year.

I've been getting a bunch of YouTube ads for sports betting (despite having no interest in sports or betting) and this one with Portnoy from Barstool has this all-black screen that says "END CARD" that they were clearly supposed to fill in later and forgot.

Well, there's the "beef fizz"

The Hot Salami sandwich from Gioia's here in St. Louis, which won a James Beard Award.

Now also feels like a good time to complain that they used to cut the Subway sandwich in this cool v-shaped formation that worked really well for keeping the fixins on the inside.

Earlier, in an episode where Sela's character appears as a shadowy figure, they establish that Romulans have sophisticated brainwashing techniques. They use them to brainwash Geordi into being a sleeper-agent assassin.

After "Yesterday's Enterprise," Denise Crosby started popping up as a shadowy figure barking orders to both Klingons and their Romulan co-conspirators. They teased this out for quite a while, before showing her face. When she finally reveals herself to the crew of the Enterprise, they're shocked.

That potential got partially realized, and her character sort of fixed, in "Yesterday's Enterprise," an episode where a version of Yar from an alternate timeline is able to bravely sacrifice herself in a way that overshadowed her meaningless death in the prime timeline.

SPOILERS: rather famously, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" killed off a main character, Tasha Yar, partway through the first season because her actress, Denise Crosby, didn't think they were doing enough with her character.

My dad loved how, when they introduced Clone Kahless on TNG, he had REALLY aggressive forehead ridges, as though his Klingon-ness was totally undiluted, or that he was closer to like a Klingon Caveman genetically.

How America feels lately

We really need to stop trying to teach the median American voter new words. "Kleptocracy," "Stochastic terrorism," all $6 words that people bounce right off of.

Go for the jugular: this is what theft looks like. He is stealing your money and building a gold palace where the White House used to be.

I was gonna compare this to the place where Syril gets a job in "Andor," but the Empire's offices give employees more personal space than JP Morgan does.

Haha, I didn't have any intention of going anywhere. You're the one who keeps announcing you're leaving. You can just go.

Like, if Andor is guilty of white patriarchal tropes, then these guys right here are a straight-up hate crime.

When I was on the dating apps as a depressed thirtysomething, I was baffled as to why younger women seemed to like me, and it was mostly because (I think) I didn't have any weird, toxic "deus vult" type political views.

Also I'm hilarious, but still.
