There are so many reasons to look forward to Thanksgiving. There’s the food, of course, but there’s also the chance to reconnect with our families and share memorable experiences with our loved ones. It’s not just full bellies and smiles, though. We all have that one uncle who, against everyone’s wishes, against the very fabric of this holiday, must always create an uncomfortable environment. You know, the one who’s always talking about how great Steely Dan is. The self-certified “Dan Fan.”
We shouldn’t expect everyone to have the same values and opinions. Thanksgiving should be an opportunity to respectfully put our differences aside—to laugh about our shared memories and strengthen our familial bonds. Instead, my uncle lectures me about the production quality of the band’s 1977 Grammy Award-winning album Aja. Or he’s force-feeding us other abhorrent cookie-cutter talking points about cameos from the Doobie Brothers’ vocalist Michael MacDonald or the fact that the duo met at Bard College. Completely tone deaf.
Israel is carrying out a campaign to make Gaza uninhabitable. This campaign includes destroying all of Gaza’s hospitals. The message Israel is sending is clear - Nowhere is safe. If you stay you die.

Claro has been the default administration theme for Drupal for more than one year now. The list of issues and new features that we want to introduce has been growing and we’d like to bring the community together to join forces and finish initiatives needed for the new improvements (like CSS modernization) or review each other's work and get it committed.
We’ll prepare and organize efforts in advance with issues for all levels and profiles, and we’ll work on several time zones.
Join this community effort on the #admin-ui Drupal Slack channel on December 15th, 2023 and we’ll have work ready for you.
In the spring of 1957, in search of a summer job before heading west to graduate school, I answered a classified New York Times ad for an editorial assistant. The personnel clerk at the paper was condescending. Bachelor’s degrees are a dime a dozen, she told me. For their newsroom, she said, they were looking for Ph.D. candidates and Rhodes scholars. Still, sighing at her own generosity, she let me fill out the paperwork. I did so, but not being much of a Times reader then, I quickly moved on. I spent the rest of that day filling out other applications around town. When I got home my mother said, “You had a crank call, Bobby. A man said that,... New York Times Sports Department">Read more

Recently there has been a controversy over Bin Laden’s “Letter to America”, which he wrote in 2002, ostensibly to explain why Al Qaeda attacked America, and what they wanted from America. The Guardian, which ever since British Intelligence made them smash their own servers to destroy Wikileaks documents has been worthless removed the original translation.
Kids on Tiktok had discovered the letter and put up videos saying, in essence, “you know, he made some good points.” Such thinking for themselves is not acceptable and TikTok has also hidden the hashtag.
“An anti-L.G.B.T.Q. group is organizing a boycott of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade over performances by nonbinary Broadway actors, in the latest attempt to force companies to reverse course on social issues that some far-right groups consider too liberal.” — New York Times
As you may have heard, we at One Million Moms will be boycotting this year’s Macy’s parade because two performers from Broadway musicals are members of the so-called LGBTQ community. As good Christians from Mississippi, we cannot sit by and let a pair of LGBTQ musical theater professionals up there in New York City get away with singing and dancing in flashy costumes to carefully rehearsed choreography.
