Happy Thanksgiving Eve, my fellow Americans. I hope your holiday is delicious and peaceful (unless you’re heading in there prepping for a fight, in which case I hope you win it). We’ll be back to business as usual on Monday.
At Drinks With Broads this week, we revisit the bestselling books of 70s Thanksgiving! Check out the new Cruel Intentions! And discuss what drinks are best for throwing into people’s faces! (There will be no Thursday edition this week because of the holiday but it’s good for us to have a little downtime because shit gets real on January 5 when the Golden Globes kick off awards season. Awards season at DWB is FUN — the live chats during red carpets and awards ceremonies are a blast — so once again I remind you that becoming a paid subscriber will enrich your life!!!!!!!!)
We had a vigorous chat here about people’s favorite cookbooks.
Okay doke! Elsewhere of interest:
For my fellow followers of the Bravo Cinematic Universe: SHOCKEROO, Schwartz & Sandy’s is closing. I hope Tom’s mom got her retirement money back?!?!?!!?!? (This piece doesn’t mention something I’ve seen on the Bravo subreddit, which is that this place had VERY unpredictable hours, which surely also didn’t help.) Somewhere in the Valley, Katie Maloney is cackling. [Lainey]

Super interesting, at The Verge: “One Amazon influencer makes a living posting content from her beige home. But after she noticed another account hawking the same minimal aesthetic, a rivalry spiraled into a first-of-its-kind lawsuit. Can the legal system protect the vibe of a creator? And what if that vibe is basic?”
INTERESTING: Timmy Chalamet hasn’t come to any of the press events for his Bob Dylan biopic yet. (He’s filming another project but, you know. Let’s speculate that he’s also madly in love with Elle Fanning. Who isn’t, tbh?) I do think the film looks good. [Lainey]
FYI that Anthropologie is having a big sale right now. I REALLY want this handbag. I’m also so tempted by this dress for the holidays. [affiliate links]
