Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

What can one say?
“Good luck defrosting the one you can find in the supermarket”?
I’ve been buying Whole Foods unfrozen turkey every year since they opened on Columbus and 97, and I’m going to on Tuesday as well. But they usually sell out before Thanksgiving. Alternatively, go to the 24-hour Key Food.
Okay, how about: “Now we have to trek to ’97th Street or trek to Key Food”.
Anyhow, “where to set up the whole bird deep fryer in the apartment” is the bigger question.
How can you forget to order a turkey at 3 AM in the morning?
