It’s time to fly away from the impending holiday madness.

The Icelandic airline is offering $99 one-way flights from Boston, Pittsburgh, and Chicago to Amsterdam, London, and Dublin — and of course, Reykjavik.
The super-cheap rates are available for select flights starting in December. Flights from other cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are $129 — which is more, but still rather affordable for a one-way ride to Europe. Read more…

GET OUT OF THE CAR.
A woman in — you guessed it — Australia was held hostage in her car for about 20 minutes by a hair spider.
Bianca Merrick of Coffs Harbour, Australia, was driving home from work on Friday when she spotted a large spider hanging out on her visor. She decided the best choice was to keep driving for fear of a spider attack.
“I was on my way home from work when I looked up and saw it staring at me,” Merrick told Storyful. “I considered stopping but I didn’t know how I’d get it out of the car, so I thought the best option for me was to keep driving and pretend it wasn’t there for the longest 20 minutes of my life.” Read more…

A very special thank you to Donald Trump for this AT&T/Time Warner fiasco
November 20, 2017President Donald Trump has done something that no other president has done before—and many journalists have tried and failed to do.
He turned a boring media merger into the corporate version of a soap opera. He made it interesting.
On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it will be filing a lawsuit to block AT&T’s $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner. It’s just the most recent in a bizarre series of developments around what is a massively important move in the media world.
Importance, however, doesn’t mean public interest. Apart from the initial announcement, these kinds of deals tend to be pretty boring. Stories about antitrust, for example, aren’t exactly on most people’s must-read list. But they should be, assuming you like to watch HBO, use a smartphone to do just about anything, see movies, or read the news. Read more…

There’s a reason literally everyone puts off packing a suitcase ’til the very last minute: it sucks. How do you decide what to bring? Why doesn’t anything fit? What will you forget to pack this time? Why don’t you have Marie Kondo on speed dial for times like these?
These problems can become particularly apparent when you’re heading home for the holidays, trying to decide on outfits that will appease both your sense of style and your very conservative grandparents. If there’s one thing that can instantly improve holiday travel, though, it’s the Joyus Luggage Shelf. Read more…

Longtime television host Charlie Rose accused of groping women and exposing himself
November 20, 2017Charlie Rose, a longtime television host, was accused of sexual misconduct by eight women who talked to the Washington Post.
He allegedly groped several women, exposed himself multiple times, and made lewd phone calls, according to the story, which dropped on Monday.
All the women either worked for him or were trying to get a job on Charlie Rose, the show he’s hosted since 1991. He’s also co-hosed CBS This Morning since 2013. After the Post story ran, CBS suspended Rose, and PBS and Bloomberg announced they’ll stop distribution of Charlie Rose. Read more…
