Inside Jokes From 10 Years Ago Can Be A Bit Too Inside

A reminder of the source of the traditional turkee day post.

Nothing to Do

For many, many years the Atrios household has been the Thanksgiving home for all of the area orphans with nowhere else to go, which usually meant about 16 people and multiple turkeys (one in the oven, one on the grill). I mentally associate the holiday with days of shopping, prep, and cooking. Other people are doing the work this year. Much more relaxing.

Happy Turkee Day

We have our own Thanksgiving traditions here.

Happy Thanksgiving

Francis

Any papal mention of Hippie Jesus really freaks 'em out.

Progress

Hopefully more locations get on board with raising the minimum wage.

Federal action would be good, too, of course, but it obviously isn't too likely at the moment.

Holiday Schedule

Fortunately Eschaton World Industries has a fairly generous holiday vacation policy, so light blogging through the rest of the week, depending on my mood.

Modern Life

Parents is weird.

Wednesday Is New Jobless Day

Pope On A Rope

I'm not catholic and the guy doesn't represent me, but christianity - including catholicism - seems to have been reduced "abortion, contraception, and gay people are evil" over the past several decades. If the dude manages to adjust the balance on those things - even if he thinks those things are still bad - I'll applaud. Supposedly we're all sinners, it just hasn't been clear why some sins have been more important than others lately.
