I'm getting some intriguing info on Cardinal Pizzaballa from Bluesky's trending page.
Screenshot of "Cardinal Pizzaballa" as the #1 trending topic with a "🔥 Hot" icon suggesting people are talking about how the Cardinal is a smokeshow.

It's a dang Winter Wonderland out here, folks.
The same two roads intersecting as the previous photo, but it's morning now and the snow is simply everywhere.

I'm sure I'll feel different when we're under a foot of it tomorrow, but I've missed snow.
A snowy road intersects with another, lit by a single street lamp. A quiet creek runs alongside them.

Cooked a turkey on the grill with some cherry and pecan wood chips for Thanksgiving this year and it came out fantastic. The sides were also fantastic. It was all fantastic. 🍽️
A long shot of the Thanksgiving spread: stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes in a slow cooker, sweet potatoes, and gravy. A beautifully browned turkey on a cutting board. The rest of the spread: green bean casserole, Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, rolls, cornbread, butter.

Quote post with a picture of street graffiti on your phone.

I love this exchange found in New Orleans in 2022.
My wife Kelly standing next to three separate pieces of street graffiti that read: "The only person You can love n won't leave is Yourself," "I LOST THE ONLY WOMEN I EVER LOVED CAUSE I LIED TO HER," and "Well, I lost the woman I loved because she thought I was doing all kinds of thing I wasn't, because of Induced Psycosis!!! Life Sux Big kid, get a shovel!"

Great stuff on why Democrats need to support striking workers from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social: www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/whose-faul...
Make the class war the defining political issue of our day. Lean into it. The Republicans cannot win on this issue. As an existential matter they will never support worker power over corporate power. The Democrats can. But they have to be loud enough and clear enough about it that nobody can be mistaken about who is on which side. Whose fault is a strike at the railroads, or at UPS, or in Hollywood, or at the auto companies? It is the fault of the greedy fuckers who took all the workers’ money for years and years. It is the fault of the executives and investors and corporate boards that treated the people who do the work like shit. When the workers, at great personal risk, strike to take back a measure of what is theirs, they are the right side. There is no winning the class war without accepting this premise.

My in-laws found this old can of Billy Carter's signature beer in their basement and it's some iconic stuff.
My hand holding an old can of "Billy Beer." The text on the bottom reads: "I had this neer brewed up just for me. I think it's the best beer I ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot. I think you'll like it too." Followed by Billy Carter's signature. Close-up of one half of the text on the top of the Billy Beer can, which reads, in full: "Brewed expressly for and with the personal approval of one of America's all-time great beer drinkers -- Billy Carter." Close up of the second half of the top of the Billy Beer can.

I caught Mad Max: Fury Road on TV and, man, this movie is so good. A perfect TV movie too because you can just drop in whenever and odds are something super badass will be happening.

Enjoying the 5 Bs this Friday eve: Baby, beer, backyard, BBQ chicken, and (green) beans.
A selfie of me in my backyard with my baby strapped to my chest and a can of beer in one hand. A very tasty BBQ chicken quarter with some equally tasty green beans that were sauteed in butter, garlic, and lemon.

I love how my CSA is like "Don't forget you can also eat your beet greens!" as if I'm ever going to be in need of greens when this is not even the rest of the share.
Two vegetable drawers just filled to the brim with greens.
