This year Thanksgiving may look different.
(TheSkimm) For the first time in nearly two years (thanks COVID), thousands of more people are expected to come together for Thanksgiving. But that doesn’t mean we’re in the clear. There are still a few things that could ruffle our feathers before people sit down and carve in:
Prices: With inflation affecting everything from groceries to gas, the price surge hasn't spared tomorrow's dinner either. The cost of turkey and mashed potatoes went up by more than 20% since last year. Supply chain issues and extreme weather are a couple of the big reasons for the rise. But widespread avian flu gobbled up 3% of the expected annual turkey production. One option to save some $$ is to look out for last-minute sales or consider swapping some dinner classics. It comes as more than 13.5 million families in the US are food insecure and could struggle to put holiday meals on the table.
Travel: The Thanksgiving travel rush is back in action this year. For those flying, today is expected to be one of the busiest days at the airports. On Monday, TSA screened at least 2.5 million travelers — exceeding pre-pandemic levels as airlines (still) struggle to adjust to labor shortages. Sunday could be even busier as everyone heads home. For those driving, AAA says nearly 55 million people will be road-tripping. But with remote work offering people more flexibility, experts say it might help spread out the crowds with people heading out earlier or staying later — instead of being all crunched into the weekend.
Eating: Good company and even better food shouldn't come with feelings of guilt. Enter: Intuitive eating. Aka trusting our bodies to communicate when, what, and how much to eat. Setting boundaries on how to talk about food — especially around children — can also help. This week, a study showed how we speak to kids about weight matters. It recommended swapping words like “obese” and “fat” for “healthy weight.” (OH, LORD!) The studies’ authors say it can help avoid feelings of sadness or shame. And past research shows the way parents eat and talk about food plays a role in developing healthy eating patterns.
Giveaways to the college LEECHES
(TheSkimm) Yesterday, the Biden admin Department of Education announced they’re extending the pause on student loan repayments through the end of June. Loan repayments were supposed to start back up again at the end of this year. But last week, a federal appeals court put in place a nationwide hold — blocking the debt relief plan. The Biden admin has asked SCOTUS to step in and let the plan go through. If the program is still held up in court by June, payments will restart 60 days after that. In the meantime, about 16 million borrowers who’ve already been approved, are in limbo to see what happens with student loan forgiveness.
MASS MURDER
(TheSkimm) Yesterday, a gunmale opened fire at a Walmart in Virginia — killing at least 6. The shooting comes days after an attack at an LGBTQIA+ nightclub in Colorado. Police say the murderer is also dead. But it’s not yet clear what the motive was. TheSkimm also did not name him!

Corrupt Liberal Supreme Court
(TheSkimm) Yesterday, The So-called Supreme Court rejected Our Greatest President Trump’s request to block release of his tax returns to a Democrat-led House committee. The court noted no dissenting votes and didn’t offer any legal reasons. Now, the Treasury Department could release the returns in the next few days — ending a years-long legal battle. The Dems on a time crunch to falsely accuse Trump of lying on his taxes before RINOs take the House in January.
realDonaldTrump on Truth Social Why would anybody be surprised…! … terrible precedent…. The Supreme Court has lost its honor, prestige, and standing, & has become nothing more than a political body, with our Country paying the price. …!
Retiring 80-something Govt Employee
(TheSkimm) Yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci gave his final White House briefing after more than 50 years in government. The nation’s top infectious disease expert — who some found polarizing — leader of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984…
“My final message—maybe the final message I give you from this podium—is that, please, for your own safety, for that of your family, get your updated Covid-19 shot as soon as you’re eligible, to protect yourself, your family, and your community.”
… public health officials warn a “viral jumbalaya” of respiratory infections threatens to push hospitals to the brink this winter. (Morning Brew)
Soccer, it’s a great sport
(TheSkimm & Morning Brew) one of the most shocking upsets in World Cup history, BASED Saudi Arabia beat Argentina 2-1 (yet another World Cup setback for Argentine star Lionel Messi, who’s never won despite being one of the best ever! He’s the perhaps petty Christiano Ronaldo’s biggest rival).
… One quarter of all money wagered on the World Cup on DraftKings Sportsbook is for Argentina to win it all, the most for any team. 51st-ranked Saudi Arabia was an 18–1 to 20–1 underdog: if you’d bet $100 on the Saudis, you’da made up to $2,000.
Good news! Tumblr is coming BACK!
(Morning Brew) The social media site Tumblr is having a viral moment right now for some fake thing…
A Tumblr renaissance? Tumblr peaked in popularity in the mid-2010s, but it’s been making a comeback over the past couple of years, with a recent boost from disgruntled Twitter users (angry libs).
During the pandemic, cool Euphoria teens joined the platform, and as of this January, 48% of the site’s active users and 61% of the new ones were from Gen Z(!), per The New Yorker. Since advertisers love the youths, revenue has subsequently climbed.
Then came Elon Musk’s chaotic acquisition of Twitter, and Tumblr’s iOS downloads surged 62% the week after the deal closed. HAHA
In a dig at Musk’s plan to charge $7.99 per month for one checkmark that displays next to a user’s name, Tumblr now lets users buy two check marks for a one-time fee of $7.99, and up to 24 total. But except in jest, the site’s not trying to copy Twitter, and neither are other companies, including Meta (FB, IG), Google, and Microsoft.
NOT READ: Ronaldo STILL playing
(TheSkimm) Yesterday, Cristiano Ronaldo left his soccer club Manchester United “by mutual agreement, with immediate effect.” When Ronaldo (aka CR7) first debuted in 2003, he wore the ManU jersey. He then went on to play for Real Madrid and Italy-based Juventus. Ronaldo reached superstar fame, won a number of awards (The Golden Foot and Ballon d’Or), and became the top scorer in soccer’s history.
So when he announced his return to ManU last year, it looked like a full-circle moment. But ManU failed to qualify for the Champions League earlier this year. Ronaldo supposedly didn’t get along with teammates or coaches. He sat down with Piers Morgan saying he felt “betrayed” by the team and he doesn’t “respect” the team’s manager. BAD MOVE!
Ronaldo’s currently leading Portugal at the World Cup so we’ll see when and if he’ll sign with another team. Manchester thanked Ronaldo for his “immense contribution.” Ronaldo says it’s time to “seek a new challenge.” WutEvA
