Is Yomiko Readman a traitor? Integra’s about to share the tale of how she and Alucard first met Agent Paper…

I’m thankful for…pumpkin pie, mostly

FDR had Fireside Chats. Barack Obama has weekly YouTube addresses. This is the latest.

And I quote: “It is a testament to our national character that so many Americans took time out this Thanksgiving to help feed the hungry and care for the needy.”

The video was posted twelve and a half hours ago. And yet, it talks about Thanksgiving as though it’s in the past tense.

Apparently, we’ve elected a Time Lord.

Happy Evolution Day! (Yes, really.)

Online socializing is good for us. Includes some charming examples of netspeak, with helpful translations.

Economic crisis hits our vets hard; nation cringes.

Speaking of that economy – SixApart (used to own LJ, sold it last year) is giving out free accounts to laid-off journalists. Not a bad move.

Also, if you’re tired of holding up your hands to the TV to block out the Christmas ads (…am I the only one who does that?), that goes back to money too. Low sales numbers are pushing retailers to plug their holiday deals early. I’ll be covering my eyes until after Thanksgiving.

I did, however, make an exception to my ’tis-not-the-season-YET,-folks! policy for A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All. It did not disappoint. Without getting too spoilery: sure, they could have made slightly better use of that mistletoe . . . but that scene at the windowpane? Yeah, my heart grew a few sizes that day.

Inspiration strikes. (It’s holding out for dental.)

Improv troupe acts out a time loop in an unsuspecting Starbucks.

Hellsing in the news – sort of. It’s talking about how this one family saves money, and one of the kids cosplays.

Less than a month to go until Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day. Last year’s thread is full of good ideas.

And I totally need to do this to a credit card some time.

In memoriam

It’s Veterans Day. Have a poppy.

Have, also, some information about how this day is recognized on both sides of the Atlantic.

And for something that will send chills down your spine and make you feel good about the future of humanity, watch this.
