Special thanks to the first responders who are cooking and serving the food.

It’s American Thanksgiving Day.

Always celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November; it’s been a statutory holiday since 1879.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is still scheduled to take place today, despite high winds.

One of the best traditions of the U.S. Thanksgiving are the football games.

The Lions will play the Bears at 12:30 this afternoon, followed by Buffalo and Dallas and Atlanta and New Orleans later tonight.

Twitter is removing inactive accounts and will free up usernames.

Twitter is sending out emails to owners of inactive accounts with a warning: sign in by December 11th, or your account will be history and its username will be up for grabs again. Any account that hasn’t signed in for more than six months will receive the email alert.

They haven’t said exactly when recouped usernames will be made available to existing users. The account removal process will happen over many months — not just on a single day.

For people who have passed away, unlike Facebook, Twitter doesn’t have a way to memorialize someone’s account, but they are working on a way to do this.

You don’t have to actually tweet anything to stick around. They just have to log in and follow Twitter’s instructions. So even if the username you want seems long dormant based on activity, whoever owns it can still hold on to the username pretty easily.

Add Lucifer to the long list of baby names banned in Iceland.

The controversial choice was rejected by the Icelandic Naming Committee after parents tried to give it to their newborn son. The Committee stated: “Since the name Lucifer is one of the devil’s names, the Naming Committee believes it could cause the bearer embarrassment. Besides, the spelling of the name Lucifer cannot be considered in accordance with the general spelling rules of the Icelandic language, since the letter c is not part of the Icelandic alphabet.”

Zelda was also rejected.
