"Absolute disaster" - Josh Allen's wife Hailee Steinfeld reveals Thanksgiving cooking attempt that went extremely wrong For Thanksgiving last year, Josh Allen's wife, Hailee Steinfeld, tried her hand at cooking.

“Josh Allen’s wife”? JOSH ALLEN’S WIFE?

Hailee Steinfeld was nominated for an Oscar AT THIRTEEN. She voices no fewer than TWO iconic animated women. She was 25 when she played the lead in an MCU TV series. She’s been married to Allen for *6 months*.

“Josh Allen’s wife”. JFC.

Well wtf are we waiting for?

Be good work for them. It’s been nearly 500 years.

The inability of legacy media to simply state the facts just boggles my mind. Decades of bothsiderism has rendered their critical judgement all but inert.

How many Friedman units, you reckon?

A friend of mine once said that she had noticed that when the economy is bad, McDonald's offers value meals and value-priced items.

McDonald's has been heavily advertising value meals of late.

Jesus f**king Christ.

This is going to sound daft, but I think it's true: It's because of Trump (indirectly). Trump has made it okay for men to be misogynistic incels, and the reactionaries in charge are forcefully pushing social progress back as far as they can.

Our country is toxic.

He doesn't care about *anything* but himself. Not anything or anyone. He's a psychopath.

So essentially—and I'm not joking here—they suffer from mental illness.

This sure didn’t age well. And someone needs to tell the @nytimes.com “editorial board” that 17 items doesn’t make for a reasonable statistical universe. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/o...

9am Monday morning meetings should be outlawed.

Yes, and there will be fallout for Trump and the Senators who voted no.

People make fun of how synthesizers were overused in 80s music (even Van Halen ffs). I am convinced people 30 years from now will be saying the same thing about autotune and its ilk.

The older I get, the simpler my definitions become. (Or perhaps clearer.)

Liberalism is accepting that things change, and adapting. Conservatism tries to stop change. Reactionaries try to roll back the clock; progressives try to help things forward; radicals try to move *radically* forward.

Fine, but are any of the people furious Republicans?

I can’t even express how disgusted I am with Megyn Kelly’s rationalizations about this. And I’m beyond disgusted with the MAGA people defending her & attacking *us* for ripping Kelly. “The left is losing their minds.” If PEDOPHILIA doesn’t enrage you, what will?

So wait; is someone suggesting Trump had same sex, um, sex? O hadn’t heard that one.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My brother. So: My brother had ADHD. I have OCD. For a while we had to share a bedroom. You could draw a line down the middle between our sides of the room; mine insanely tidy, his a disastrous mess. It was such a bad combo my dad subdivided the rec room to give me my own space.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I keep falling in new holes.

Regarding the Apple TV show Pluribus, I note the main character is GenX. Just sayin’.

I read the other day that the U.S. was the first country in history where it’s residents weren’t subjects of someone, but this new thing called “citizens”, & have been thinking about that ever since.

We are citizens. Trump is trying to turn us back into subjects. No. Not now; not ever.

My bff is an astrophysicist who teaches at Johns Hopkins, and we talk about the bad bad bad science in many science fiction shows & movies sometimes. The worst of course is how noisy space is in the majority of shows & films. How easy it is to see things visually is another. I try to roll with it.

He IS a U.S. citizen; not was.

The Republican conviction that Dems must also engage in cults of personality around [Clinton | Obama | whoever] never ceases to amaze. If Clinton’s in the Epstein files & did something illegal, prosecute him. Jeez, it’s not that complicated.

Who “JP Morgan, Chase” is I’m not sure. Jamie Dimon?

The more I read the more I’m convinced I’m on the spectrum. On the masking eval I scored 10 points above average…for autistic folks. Had the the same sandwich at the same deli every Wednesday for 10 years. Etc.

When I mentioned this to my bff he said, “You’re a computer nerd; what did you expect?”

Known I had OCD for a long time, but my mother—who couldn’t relax until I organized her linen closet in her new home for her & can’t go to bed if there are dishes in the sink—wouldn’t accept *she* does.

Wow. Just wow.
