My favorite Thanksgiving tradition: drawing a hand turkey!

Here’s a fullsize if you want to print and color one.

I get really tense around people who express anger or frustration physically.

If they can’t control themselves, then you never know quite how far they’ll go. And if they can control themselves, then they have no fucking excuse to start smashing things.

Gabi has been sick for over a month now. She’s been in the hospital for going on three weeks now and the doctors still aren’t sure whats wrong.

She had three strokes. Two appear to have been TIA’s, no brain damage, and the other appears to been ischemic with infarction, but they’re still not sure why. She’s seen two neurosurgeons, four or five neurologists, and tons of other doctors but she’s tested negative for the usual things that cause strokes in young healthy people.

It’s frustrating because everything was going well before. I’ve still been looking for a job, but we were stable and it felt like it was just a matter of time. Then in literally less than 60 seconds everything changed. Nothing really feels certain anymore. Just bills and hospital visits.

I apologize for lashing out. One of my players threw themselves in acid after they were fully aware it was in fact acid. I did not and still do not know how to deal with that.

Griffin’s resume of the future

“Beyond a reasonable doubt” is the standard for criminal justice. It’s not the standard for counter-intelligence determinations. The preponderance of the evidence ever-more clearly indicates: In ways we cannot yet fully reckon—but can no longer safely deny—the man in the Oval Office has a guilty connection to the Russian government. That connection would bar him from literally any other job in national security except that of head of the executive branch and commander- in-chief of the armed forces of the United States.

Trump is so evil and dangerous, he’s put me and David Frum on the same side.

Did I ever tell you the story of how I lost my fiance to a guy so clumsy he lost his eye to a coffee table?

I

Sorry what

Ok, So I’m in college about 10 years back and roomed with this guy named Joe. Dude is Steve Urkel levels of clumsy. Except life isn’t a sitcom. Dude broke his arm twice in the year I knew him. I was about to get married at this point in time when he walks in on she and I kissing, he didn’t expect us there and wound up tripping, falling into a glass top coffee table. Doctors couldn’t save his eye. He’s having to wear a sterile cotton thing on his eye during the healing process.

Well, fiancee feels guilty because we startled him to begin with. She basically nurses him back to health. During this time, I had realized that I knew absolutely nothing about the guy. Anytime I’d ask where his home town was, she’d tell me “not now” or something similar.

Anyway, he gets healed up and she fell for him. Nightingale syndrome hard. They get up, pack everything and leave. No note, no nothing, no phone calls. Not even a “fuck you go to hell.” Haven’t heard from them since.

In short.

If it weren’t for cotton eyed Joe, I’d been married a long time ago. Where did you come from where did you go? Where did you come from Cotton Eyed Joe.

“There is no bigger abuse of power than the president ordering his Justice Department to investigate his political enemies or back off his political allies, and Trump has done both,” says former Justice Department communications director Matthew Miller. “If he did it in secret, it would be treated as an enormous scandal, but because he does it in public, we have all gotten used to it. But it’s still the worst possible abuse of power, and the kind of thing everyone in Congress should demand end immediately — with the most serious consequences if he doesn’t.” Republican leadership, however, has entirely abandoned its constitutional obligations and makes no effort to halt such conduct. The leaders are not acting in good faith to uphold their oaths of office — namely to defend the Constitution.

Fun statistical fact: Cows are about 300 times more likely to kill you than coyotes.

Minor sidenote to statistical fact: If it was common for people to keep several hundred coyotes on their property and routinely chase them into a corral and handle them, this statistic would be different.

this is a great summary of ‘conditional probability’, a statistical property many people grapple with

Funnily enough, as it happens, Kevin Spacey was one celebrity whose sexual harassment I already knew about. A friend from high school once told me that his friend worked on the House of Cards set and Spacey was constantly hitting on him inappropriately. His sexuality was an open secret, of course, as was his tendency to harassment. He sounds like a coward and a loser.

It also strikes me that many of his accusers came out as gay later in life but were closeted at the time. Who better to prey on than a guy who knows he’s gay but is afraid to acknowledge it and afraid other people will find out? What a shitstain.

Producer: so this character is a creepy power obsessed closeted man of ambiguous sexuality who regularly hits on his staff, I wonder who we should cast to play the role-
