The American Farm Bureau Federation dropped its calculation of the average cost per person for a Thanksgiving dinner, and many on social media responded with anger and ridicule. 'If you can feed 10 people a Thanksgiving dinner for $58 you’re a sorcerer.' NBC included the calculation in its article that called the $58.08 price tag for 10 people a "historically affordable" sum. “If your dollar had the same overall purchasing power as a consumer in 1984 ... this would be the least expensive Thanksgiving meal in the 39-year history of the AFBF Thanksgiving survey, other than the outlier of 2020,” the authors at the Farm Bureau wrote. The report said that food prices had risen 19% since 2019, but that median household wages had increased by about 25% in the same period. Many on social media responded that those statistics did not fit their personal experience this year as they shopped for the holiday dinner. "It costs $60 for a family of 4 to eat at McDonalds. But NBC News wants you to believe that Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people is $58 - the most affordable in 40 years," said author John LeFevre. "After reading and rereading this story I am now fully aware of what I make for Thanksgiving is not average. Nor is it cheaper than 2021," responded journalist Salena Zito."Total bulls***. You can’t feed 10 people for $58.08 anywhere in the country." replied Georgia GOP committeewoman Amy Kremer. "No one who buys groceries believes this," said commentator Dana Loesch. "This is bulls***, of course. Carry on," responded Republican attorney Harmeet Dhillon. "The Media still can’t figure out why Americans can’t trust the media. Does nobody at NBC News buy their own groceries? Do y’all have servants who go buy your groceries and you never see the bill?" read another response. "If you can feed 10 people a Thanksgiving dinner for $58 you’re a sorcerer and I want to be trained in your ways," joked another user. The Farm Bureau claimed that the cost this year was less last year, which came in at $61.17, and the year previous, which it calculated at $64.05. Like Blaze News?

BIG DECISION on Missouri's Voter Photo ID Law

Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images Google and the Department of Justice met one final time in an Alexandria, Virginia courtroom to debate the future of Google’s online ad tech juggernaut. Over about three hours of closing arguments, attorneys for each side delivered their last arguments before US District Court judge Leonie Brinkema, who is expected to rule on it by the end of 2024. If she declares Google’s ad tech system a monopoly, the case will progress to a second trial for remedies — a process currently playing out in a separate DC District Court case over Google search. Many of the arguments were familiar to any Google trial watcher. The DOJ argues Google used a suite of ad tech products, particularly Doubleclick For Publishers (DFP) and the AdX exchange, to s...

Photo by Prince Williams/Wireimage Musically speaking, I’d say Drake lost the tit-for-tat feud this year between himself and Kendrick Lamar, which culminated in Lamar’s hit song “Not Like Us.” But Drake (real name: Aubrey Graham) doesn’t seem to want to accept defeat that easily. In a petition filed in New York’s state Supreme Court on Monday, Drake is accusing Universal Music Group — the label that’s represented him for his entire career and also represents Lamar — and Spotify of shady business practices aimed at making “Not Like Us” more of a hit than it already was: In 2024, UMG did not rely on chance, or even ordinary business practices, to “break through the noise” on Spotify, and likely other music platforms. It instead launched a campaign to manipulate and... Continue reading…

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Zoom is changing its name from Zoom Video Communications Inc. to just Zoom Communications Inc. In a post on the company blog, Zoom Communications CEO Eric Yuan writes that Zoom is now an “AI-first work platform for human connection” that delivers “modern, hybrid work solutions.” It’s a muddy, if vague, change compared to its 2020 rise when the classic Zoom Meetings product became synonymous with video conferencing and thrived as companies were forced to transition employees to work from home. Now, it no longer wants to be known for video as workers have returned to offices, and bigger, better-resourced competition from Google, Microsoft, and Slack offers video as a feature of the office suites companies already pay for. Allow us to... Continue reading…
