Protestors consistently ruining the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade footage is actually really great & keep boosting their footage when you see it

Every company featured in the parade sets up a contract (similar to the super bowl) where they buy a spot to then get a l a r g e endorsement via placing their ad on a float or in a balloon. Within the line up this year McDonald's, one of the biggest pro-genocide donators, got a large balloon rather than a float. This is important because balloons gets more air time than floats because of their size. On top of that floats may not have guests performing & paying for someone to perform; ideally McDonald's wanted to have a longer air time with their balloon without paying an hourly cost for performers. More air time = more ad revenue = more eyes seeing them = more customers.

The move by pro-Palestinian protestors to jump in front of McDonald's does 2 things:

1. McDonald's is getting less air time than what they were contractually promised, it'll be up to them to request what is owed (because it depends on the agreement made) by Macy's to them

2. And it messes with NBC's obligations with Peacock as the 2nd most important party of the parade + 3rd party in all contracts

So while McDonald's loses money and Macy's is scrambling to figure out how to loophole their way out of not losing money to owe McDonald's, NBC gets fucked too.

Since Oct 7, 2023, NBC has been one of many US news media outlets who actively lied to the US masses. But why do they matter for the parade? Their job is to be the main outlet who records and then uses their main platform, Peacock, to stream the parade. If protestors are seen throughout all your footage, delay large portions, and cause enough disruption to the footage being aired- that means they don't and won't immediately have their show footage ready to go.

Peacock does an offer every year to new customers to watch the parade for a $1.99 USD (not including taxes) monthly plan that can be canceled at any time with the first month free; but in the last 4+hrs after the parade aired people aren't going to stay for the year because their is no footage as promised. I actually have been checking throughout today and it's not available at all.

So not only is McDonald's going to be hemorrhaging alongside with all the other companies whose footage got cut or edited out to match the contractually obligated run time & censor protestors, but both NBC and Peacock will be losing money with each minute they don't have enough footage and a full stream to air- which is money that Macy's was also supposed to get a cut of. Which btw it's now 5pm cst the same day and there's still no footage - which is a $ problem for Peacock & NBC when folks prioritize now finding a service to watch the Superbowl > Parades.

Do not be surprised if Macy's stuff becomes more expensive and the possibility they'll change which news media outlet + streaming service covers the 2024 parade occurs. And yeah, McDonald's is going to become more expensive than it already is long term. Everybody who were financially complicit in the death of 14,000+ Palestinian men, women, and children will have a financially shit end of the year and rough 2024.

In short, despite the arrests, the protestors who sat & glued themselves to the parade route and those who stayed in the crowd to hold up flags and signs throughout really won. A 4 day cease fire for a very obviously one sided genocide isn't enough & tons of rich people are learning the hard way (as I post) that this is the beginning of their punishment by the universe for the actions.

Aaron probably knew Nicky before he knew Andrew at random, brief intervals and whatever and had to watch as Nicky “chose” Germany and Erik and Aaron had to go back to the clusterfuck that was Tilda. Not only this, but he had to live with Luther like Andrew lived with Tilda.

New headcanon: Aaron is just as protective of Nicky as Andrew is of his twin, just chooses to blank the concept in his head wholeheartedly

don’t donate expired food.

The holiday season is ramping up, and folks are getting into the giving spirit. Which is great! However, I would like to point out that donating expired or nearly expired food to food banks is not an act of charity. You’re just making it someone else’s job to throw out your rotten vegetables and fetid meat.

“Poor people should be grateful for what they get” is a profoundly cruel mindset, when what we get is to make the decision between hunger and food poisoning. If you are going to donate food, please donate fresh food, or canned goods that are unexpired.

Please DO reblog this post.

//open. int. rosie's diner - thanksgiving night

The day in-between their return from the ship and the thanksgiving dinner was a bit of a blur, of quarantine, reporting to their discovery and putting the goods and test kits away in a safe place, getting his shoulder looked at again by Tobias. He was pretty sure it'll be fine, a simple dislocation and aggravation, already told he wasn't to head outside again until full mobility was back. The restlessness will get to him sooner or later, but for now, he'd join in on the dinner and festivities, as much festivities they could have in their circumstances. He threw a sweater on, over the shoulder bandage, so no one would ask questions about it. It was a pretty nice set up to be honest, a little loud but full of sincerity from the girls. If they ignore the fact that they don't have much power and there's the undead outside these walls, Ash would say it looked like their typical thanksgiving celebrations at the diner. "Enjoying the food?" Ashton picked up the beer as he asked the figure that approached him, "seems like the diner really pulled out all the stops for this."

Yes, thankful...

...but sans one internal organ that helps digest greasy food. Darn the luck because I love fried food. Okayyyy.... I can eat “healthier”... I guess.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SENT WELL WISHES! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

As usual, a lot happened while I was in a drug-induced haze of pain and misery for a few days.

I think I am caught up with most of it. I was in the most pain when I watched Jin’s segment of Run BTS because I was trying so hard NOT to laugh... IT HURTS A LOT TO LAUGH! OR SNEEZE! OR COUGH! You have no idea how much you need those core muscles to get yourself in and out of bed too... anyway.

I saw this person do this on Instagram...go check out their classic art adaptations... very clever:

What a great image. Memaw and Pawpaw proudly serving that big bird to our boys. I never considered kimchi as a side dish for Thanksgiving... I wonder if there is such a thing as kimchi casserole... kimchi and rice...that’s all you need. Right? I’m game. That would definitely be a departure from sweet potato casserole. Pass me a Chilsung cider would you please?

Norman Rockwell was a very prolific American painter/illustrator who mainly expressed very idealistic and sentimental images of every day American life. His work spans some sixty something years from the early 1900s to mid 1970s. The original illustration is titled “Freedom from Want”. 

The thing I mainly want for the members of BTS is for them to have freedom to do what they want without repercussions from anyone or anywhere.

Personally, I am thankful for so much in my life. I am also thankful I found BTS (or they found me), better late than never. 

I hope those of you celebrating this most American of holidays today have the best day with your loved ones.
