Hope y'all are done with your stuffing and already took your post-turkey nap, because it's go-time.

Black Friday officially kicked off at 5 or 6 pm EST at most retailers, which means the last of those deals that didn't go live early are live now. 

We hope you were wise enough to map out what you want to buy with the ad scans, but if you didn't, we've pulled all the best deals so that you don't have to waste time flipping through deal pages. If you see something on sale, skip the virtual bloodbath and snag yours before other customers catch wind. "Out of stock" notices on doorbusters will happen quickly: Some 4K TVs and Apple Watches at Walmart are already sold out online and are only available for in-store purchase, and the MacBook Air is completely sold out on Amazon.

I carry a lot of animosity towards everyday tech. 

iPhones distract my loved ones from our quality time, smart assistants insist I need a butler who spies on me, and my various inboxes and text messages enable me to be "always on." Then there’s that whole degradation of democracy thing. 

I’m not alone in harboring these less-than-sunny sentiments: According to the Pew Research Center, Americans are concerned about how tech is affecting their privacy and many have considered cutting back on social media.

But it’s Thanksgiving, and I firmly believe that the exercise of giving thanks is inherently valuable. Even science says that reflecting on the things in life we’re grateful for can make us feel good, feel lucky. Read more...

The holiday season is all about family. You know the drill: your mom probes about your dating life; your uncle goads you with political jabber; grandma scoffs at your caloric intake in one breath and forces pie on you in another. Why not shake things up for once by adding a DNA test into the mix? Read more...

Thanksgiving and leftovers go hand-in-hand. Yet somehow no one ever shows up prepared to take leftovers home, so you're stuck either letting everybody take home your fancy Tupperware that you know you'll never get back, or packing everything up into gallon-sized Ziplock bags, which is not ideal. (At least stock up on some eco-friendly storage bags if that's your preferred mode of leftover transportation.)

Make this year different. If you're hosting, have some food storage containers on hand that you don't care about getting back. If you're attending somewhere as a guest, show up with your own containers — it's not rude, we promise.  Read more...
