SoylentNews Scheduling Update for US Thanksgiving Holiday

posted by martyb on Wednesday November 25 2020, @11:40PM   Printer-friendly

First off, for those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving this Thursday, please accept our best wishes for a safe and happy holiday. For those who are struggling themselves (or who have friends or family who are), please accept our sincere and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

For those who are not in the US, please be aware that Thursday is a national holiday. Further, it is traditional for most people, where possible, to also take off Friday, too. This allows for an extended period of time: Thursday through Sunday, inclusive.

Our editorial staff has been happy to provide stories for the community's discussion. There is much that happens behind the scenes. I am taking this opportunity to publicly thank all of them for their hard work and their sacrifices of time and energy.

I am encouraging the editorial staff to take a break during this holiday period. Therefore, we will be on a reduced, weekend schedule from Thursday through Sunday (UTC), inclusive. We will continue to check in during this period... we thank you in advance for continuing to send in your story submissions.

Again, please accept our genuine best wishes for a safe and happy holiday!

    Pour a gulp out for MDC, who asked for bananas for potassium and for help covering his meds in an insurance gap, and we failed him; who thanklessly worked to hound criminals like those who abused him as a child; our wide-minded child of callousness and innocence, who could not survive the brutal societal territory of the USA to live to see this thanksgiving.

    Yeah, yeah, MDC, who thought of himself as a round peg. Actually, he was more elliptical.

    I'll pour one for Mike this coming weekend, because we don't celebrate Thanksgiving over here. But I'll wish all you Americans a very happy Thanksgiving.

    He wasn't so much in to alcohol. His vice was much more sexual, in so many different and strange ways. Who can forget his story about the two-handed glory hole adventure?

    The proper way to honor MDC is thus to do the most perverted thing. Take that Thanksgiving turkey, and stuff it. Fill it with baby batter. Serve the turkey with your special sauce.
