Gym. A cup of tea and a blog post on Russian food. Laundry. A movie alone.
My Thanksgiving plans.
I thank America for the freedom it gave me to extend my middle finger to its holy traditions.
A fuck it! The Bills are playing today!
Goddamn it. Scratch all that and add "Soul crushing misery and crying self to sleep."
Nah, I'll be fine. Three decades of rooting for Buffalo sports have utterly desensitized me to most horrors short of the Holocaust.
My only dilemma is dinner. Since I have decided to join the war on Thanksgiving and won't eat turkey, I am in a bind. A bowl of chili, maybe.

Hey, Republicans and Republican voters, do you want to hear something funny about your new best bud, Vlad Putin, and your new BFF country, Russia?
The one you like now because it helped Trump and/or because you have come to accept the batshit theory about Ukraine? About that...
You might think that Trump, being all like "Putin is great, Russia is great, let's do great shit with Russia and Putin", is pretty popular and well-loved in Russia. You might think Russians are of a very high opinion of him and respect him greatly.
Would make sense, no?
Well, funny thing, that. Russians certainly do appear to LIKE the fact that Trump is president. But that is all schadenfreude, my dudes. They like the fact that America has someone in charge who makes Putin look competent, wise, restrained, sane, serious and benevolent.

There are many complex and important reasons Lamar Jackson was passed on by every other team in the draft.
You see, he is an "athletic" QB, while teams are looking for someone with a "high football IQ" who could be a "reliable system player."
Many. Complex. Important. See?
"Athletic QB" is my second most favorite racial football code term.
My absolute favorite is "deceptively fast" about pink-skinned receivers.
Speaking of football's incredibly weird racial segregation... where are black kickers? Don't you tell me black folks don't enjoy kicking shit. I have taught in inner city schools, and it's plainly not the case.
Also, have you met Pele?

One of the best slapstick comedies ever made. It's a riot from the first frame to the last. Absolutely brilliant comedic script and underappreciated acting work. Some scenes can be regarded as the funniest in the history of cinema.
Just too notch all around.
Like, there are comedies that still manage to have a sobering message or a poignant moment. But not Rocky IV. It is 100% focused on making you laugh every single second. Only Airplane!, The Naked Gun and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World compare in this single-minded dedication.
But Rocky IV is more relentless and ruthless. Its only mission is to make sure you have at least one instance of involuntary urination.
For me, the absolutely funniest scenes are Rocky's friend dying, the entire Siberia sequence and the Russian translator. I nearly died. Amazing.

Weird to be alone on #Thanksgiving. For the 20yrs I was estranged from my family because of being gay, I created lovely Thanksgivings with other gay friends.The Wife is at my in laws, where we used to go before my paralysis. My 2020 dream is a wheelchair lift & motorized chair.♿
I always wonder how many people are shut out of celebrations due to their disabilities. There really should be a better system of access in this country. It shocks me how much of this world is closed to us completely.
My life fits into two categories: before and after paralysis. I was in a wheelchair from my 30s due to MS. But I was still able to walk a little and get out places--work, restaurants that were accessible, movies. If steps weren't involved I could visit friends and family. ♿

“In one of his 1st calls with a head of state, Trump fawned over #Russian🇷🇺President Vladimir Putin, telling the man who ordered interference in America’s 2016 election that he was a ‘great leader’ and apologizing profusely for not calling him sooner.”🤬

washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
🔥This entire @washingtonpost article is incredibly horrifying. They interviewed *12 former WH staffers* who describe Trump's calls with foreign leaders as "anxiety-ridden."

You don't say.

@washingtonpost @thespybrief Former WH staffers worried Trump would "make promises he shouldn’t keep, endorse policies the US long opposed, commit a diplomatic blunder that jeopardized a critical alliance, or simply **pressure a counterpart for a personal favor**." Ding, ding ding.🛎️

It's been 3 years since my first blog. I remember how terrified I was to hit "publish" on my first #blog post. Unleashing my words into the worldwide web was a scary thought. What if people hated my writing? Or worse, what if the article had mistakes? (1/5) #writingtips #SciComm
Importantly, this was supposed to be my first step towards transitioning into a career in #sciencewriting- a field that was a complete black box to my family and friends. Needless to say, everyone, including myself, was skeptical. (2/5)
Anyways, I tried, and learned 2 things over the years. 1) My writing didn't (positively or negatively) break the internet. At it's best and worst, readers moved on with their lives. (3/5)

What are you thankful for???

It ain't about the weight of things done to you or how enormous they are, it is about our heart of appreciation.

I found out that there are two different ways people view #Thanksgiving. A lot fall into the category of thanking when all is on the positive, for example, when they buy a car, build a house, delivered of a baby, get promoted etc.
#Audacious
#WeAreGrateful
The other category give thanks even when situations ain't good. When diagnosed with malaria, they'll be like, "thank God it's not typhoid or HIV". When they are robbed at gunpoint, they'll be like, "thank God my life is not taken"

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
