Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

I also need to actually have hobbies again to have things to post about.

Ok anyone who knows me knows that peppermint hot cocoa is my go-to. I have, in fact, ordered a custom peppermint chocolate milk before. But a potentially fabulous drink does not fix the dozen other issues behind the curtain here, y’all. Also it’s cold outside, I’m not getting a frozen drink, hello?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Occasionally I read something that makes me want to write a book on alternate dimensions. But rather than sci-fi, it’s about the alternate dimensional realities that power & privilege, immense wealth, and living on different sides other sociological/psychological ravines create.

The brand launched over the weekend with a line of face masks for children, though social media commenters have accused the company of exposing kids to unnecessary skin products.

Many people were driven into military service because impoverished communities had so few choices for escaping a cycle of poverty, it was the only path by design. This Veteran's Day I think of them, and others who laid down their lives for a country betraying its own principles of "freedom."
