Again, we must ask:

Has science gone too far?

Ooooo

Drat.

Ok now I need SF to try and kick another field goal and miss.

this is, uh, this is one way to get a first down

My grandma "accidentally" set the oven to clean when my mom (her daughter) was making her "famous" meatloaf and we were forced to go out to eat instead.

Years later I asked her if she did it on purpose and she said "You've had your mother's cooking. What do you think"

this one broke me

just the most sitcom hijinks energy

I feel like this is truly the secret to a peak Bonkers Cooking Story. it's the delusional confidence. I've never made a turkey but if I was somehow drafted into doing it you know I would be glued to the Butterball Hotline like Jed Bartlet. everyone just vibing their way through this is hysterical

it’s Thanksgiving week so who the hell knows what the schedule is going to be but just as a housekeeping thing Normal Men likely delayed.

seems drastic for @ed3d.net to knock out the Boston power grid to duck mailbag but he overachieves

Watching Monday Night Football in the background (because I’m rooting against the SF kicker so I can clinch a win in fantasy)

And this is just interception fest, goodness!

Oh noooooo

yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

I feel like we need this

I have that book, I really need to read it

the fact that el alamein, stalingrad, and guadalcanal are all going off around the same time is so wild to me

Yeahhhhhhhh

Basically

Niiiiice!

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”

Story rankings:
1. Reach
2. Halo 2
3. ODST
4. Halo CE
5. Halo 4
6. Halo 3
7. Infinite
8. Halo 5

If we're dropping media hot takes today I'll rank the mainline Halo games but I gotta split this up between gameplay and narrative and I'm expecting all of you to yell at me and I want you to know right now that all of you are wrong

the science fiction StarX franchise for the discerning adult is and has always been Gate, not wars nor trek

There is a reason why most (unfortunately I can’t say all) #meteorologists don’t show extended range ensemble forecasts for a reason. Even if a disclaimer like “this is not a forecast” is given, the forecast is still being shown and could be misinterpreted as such. 😒

I’m all good, thanks!

YOU COME FOR ME LIKE THIS ON MY OWN FEED?!? *attempts to close cupboard over mountain of rustic pottery*

YES YES YES

1000 times absolutely YES

A pair of FT's in the EMD demonstrator scheme for 1939

Really incredible 1940 tempra paint & gouache illustration done by EMD industrial designer Paul Meyer of the EMD FT demonstrator scheme.

What an INDREDIBLE illustration style too, the reflections and highlights are especially beautiful.

While not uncommon for this time of year, brace yourselves for weather whiplash this week.

Pictured here is the high temp forecast for Wed (mid-60s to near 70) and the low temp forecast for Fri AM (upper 20s to near 30). Highs only in the 40s for Turkey Day with a gusty breeze.

This is a great, dignified "fuck you, I've seen real danger, and your weak ass doesn't scare me" of a statement.

“What’s the good of having mastery over cosmic balance and knowing the secrets of fate if you can’t blow something up?”

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters

"Magrat had used a lot of powder to make her face pale and interesting. It combined with the lavishly applied mascara to give the guard the impression that he was looking at two flies that had crashed into a sugar bowl."
