Bustle's Editors On Kylie Jenner & Stalking Exes

It's Thursday, Nov. 17, and you know what that means? Thanksgiving is just one week away. If you haven't started figuring out what you're cooking (or, in some cases, picking up from Trader Joe's last minute) or who you're eating with, now's the time, because the holiday is officially right around the corner. And with Thanksgiving comes Black Friday, the Gilmore Girls revival, Friends re-runs, football games, and so much more — not to mention serious food comas and inevitably awkward time with your family. Whether you're ready or not, its' time to start gearing up for the big day.

But Thanksgiving's all-too-soon approach isn't the only thing on our minds today, of course. This Thursday brought plenty of news, from Kylie Jenner lip kits to the science behind Facebook stalking, and Bustle's editors had a lot to talk about.

Brendan Dassey + Making A Murderer

Just yesterday, it was reported that a judge had ordered the release of Brendan Dassey, the star of Netflix's Making a Murderer, from prison. Yet on Thursday morning, it was announced that federal courts have blocked Dassey's release, and so he will not get out of jail on Friday as had been expected. For now, the 27-year-old Wrestlemania fan will be staying in prison, but in a statement to Bustle, Dassey's lawyers said that while they're "disappointed more than words can say," they believe that "the fight goes on."
