Are you sure that's not just Tuesday?

Thanksgiving: "We are so grateful for what we have."

24 hrs later, Black Friday: "We need more shit!"

Another day that ends in “y”.

If necessary, I will buy gas and/or groceries on Black Friday. That and ER trips.

We were just admiring the new bus lane in front of our building and saying: You know who never gets quoted in stories about congestion pricing? Bus drivers. #complicitmedia

I live in Australia. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Yet, Black Friday is a thing here!

"Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover, yeah"

Straight after Thanksgiving when Americans give thanks for what they have

They do it all for the clicks, the clicks because they gotta get their money

I mean, they can no longer negatively impact an election now that it’s over. Might as well move on to their next (evil) agenda item.

Boom!

Black Friday is, typically, the day retail business make the nut for the year
They celebrate by lowering prices for a moment before the launch of a month of aggressively unfettered spending

MadAv convinced us we must purchase gifts for everyone we know, the number and expense indicating our love

I am fucking loving not watching any news. I am starting to think again!

I get what I need here and a few other online places.

Exactly

I went for a blood test twice this week and walked out of the clinic because the wait was more than 20 minutes. I figured today was going to be good because of Black Friday and snow squalls. I walked in and the place was empty of customers. Advantage gained for not following the crowd.

I worked in retail for about 50 Black Fridays. No more!

philipvernon.bsky.social•145 days ago

Just say no.

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social the Grand Wizard of the MAGA Party is having companies do away with DEI, he will do away with the civil rights act, and rename Black Friday because he doesn’t like anything black especially black people.

Hahaha yes

Black Friday: the day we practice our Olympic-level cart-pushing skills, master the art of elbow dodging, and fight for deals on stuff we didn’t even know we needed. Who needs cardio when you’ve got a 50% off flat-screen to wrestle out of someone’s cart?
Only to find out no real discount.
