Last year I was in Ljubljana for Thanksgiving and the Slovenian bartender sneered that instead of Thanksgiving, Americans should celebrate "Thanks-taking," with regards to American land.

I actually think that's a good idea. Healthy cultures celebrate such matters.

Our tradition for today should be eating turkey and watching all 164 minutes of "How the West Was Won."

Thanksgiving is for everyone. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Of all the things that have been exported from America to the rest of the world, I'm honestly shocked that Thanksgiving has not become an international holiday. It's totally awesome, and it's a sort of plug and play prefab holiday: just make the traditional dishes (which rock) and have a big feast. God I love Thanksgiving.

Which countries other than the USA and Canada celebrate it?

I honestly don't know—I just think everyone should. Eat some turkey today, Nic, and remember to be thankful for all the good things in your life.

In that vein, thank you for the wonderful work you do here; you are greatly appreciated.

re: The podcast -- At just less than two hours, it's lengthy. Might you have markers for the start and finish of your segment to share with us?

Please whatever you do, don't read a pre-provided political arguments list at the Thanksgiving table. It lets everyone know you are a dumbass because you are the kind of person who is incapable of doing anything more than reading talking points from a list.

Looks like Matt's Thanksgiving is not going to be Intersectional......

Like all of my immediate family are really conservative but they don't really know anything. You know opinionated but not exactly the kind of people who go out of their way to learn things. I pretty much just call it cultural branding. Yeah, they're more in touch with reality than Maddow watching progressives but they still have massive blind spots. All the old people watching Hannity does not help.

Watch. Every thing. Absorb. Nothing except humanity. That's cupid enough.

If you bring up politics at the family Thanksgiving table and refuse to drop the subject, you can save on Christmas gifts in a month's time....

Thanks, Nic, cool illustrations. Feel free have too much food and drink today on our behalves!

No thanksgiving here, but my friend and I are going out to dinner with another couple.

Expand full comment

I see no reason that cannot lead to having too much food and drink!

(I'm giving thanks for being able to go out to dinner. )

Have a great time with your friends!

If you can’t have Cranberry then get some berry liquor, which usually isn’t a problem in Europe.

Niccolo, how does the Canadian version of Thanksgiving compare to the American?

We don't make a big deal out of it?

Happy Squatchgiving. When I sent this to my Haudenosenee friend, he said it would have been better for both our people (I'm a proud Confederate-American) if Bigfoot had eaten the Yankees in 1620.

Those images are too much... any thoughts on the very human power struggle at the home of AI that took place recently? Isn’t it just a delicious slice of irony or what?

AI wants to be free... not controlled by an elite.

Folks, Happy Thanksgiving.......

Please let us understand that oppressed=failure, oppressors=successful. And that is why Jews (and Asians) are considered white or "white adjacent".

If Jews want to be considered oppressed: 1) start getting SATs of 350 Math and 370 Verbal 2) No more Nobel prizes or on the board of the Met Opera, or Museum and on and on 3) And can't have 6 out of the 10 richest Americans be Jews.
