Bustle's Editors On Cyber Monday + 'Gilmore Girls'

by Rachel Simon

Welcome back, friends. Hopefully, you spent the last few days in a perpetual food coma, making your way through Thanksgiving leftovers while marathoning Gilmore Girls (that ending, you guys) and doing some holiday shopping from the comfort of your couch. There's nothing like that post-Thanksgiving glow, caused by way too much turkey and having your loved ones nearby, to make you think it's a great idea to buy all your Christmas and Hanukkah presents in one sitting, am I right?

While you're getting used to being back at work and not having stuffing for every meal, catch up on all the news that had Bustle's editors talking today, from Cyber Monday sales to the #SingleAsHellChallenge taking over Twitter.

Cyber Monday + Shopping Sprees

The workday may be coming to an end, but Cyber Monday is still on until midnight tonight. Check out some of the many sales going on, from Kylie Cosmetics to ColourPop to Amazon, to get the best deals out there on this shopping-filled day.

Deal of The Day: Obsessed with Pinterest? Then you'll want to check out the Crescent Mechanics Tool Set from Amazon, which is on sale this Cyber Monday for $75 (it was originally $207). DIY projects have never looked easier.

Jessica Chastain + Nasty Women

Hillary Clinton may not be our president, but many ladies have continued to support her campaign's message by embracing the term "nasty woman" to mean a woman who is ambitious, driven, and prepared for any challenge. In an interview with Bustle, actor Jessica Chastain reveals why she's proud to be a nasty woman, and why she feels that the lead character of her new movie, Miss Sloane, has a lot in common with our country's first female presidential nominee.

One Direction 4Ever: In a recent interview with the British paper The Sunday People, One Direction member Niall Horan reportedly confirmed that the beloved boy band will be coming back together after their hiatus. Time to start celebrating, 1D fans.

Gilmore Girls + Those Last Four Words

It's finally happened, guys. After what felt like an eternity of waiting, the Gilmore Girls revival finally premiered on Friday, and fans are up in arms about what went down — especially those last four words. Here's what those last lines could mean for Rory and Lorelai's futures — that is, if more episodes of Gilmore Girls end up happening.

Fun Fact: The Gilmore Girls revival is filled with celeb cameos, from Peter Krause to Sutton Foster, but did you know that Rose Abdoo, aka Gypsy, also played Emily's maid Berta in the new episodes? Crazy stuff.

The Ohio State + How To Help

Sad news came Monday morning, when it was reported that eight people had been hospitalized due to a shooter on The Ohio State University campus. Few other details about the tragic event are known, but if you're looking for ways to help the victims, here's what you can do.

#Recount2016: Jill Stein is making headlines for her efforts to get recounts going in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, and over the weekend, Hillary Clinton's campaign announced that they're on-board with the process. Even though no recount is likely to change the results of the election, here's why Stein's efforts still might make a massive difference.

Twitter + Being Single As Hell

It may be cuffing season, but that doesn't mean that there aren't still plenty of people flying solo this winter. The new #SingleAsHellChallenge on Twitter pokes fun at relationship culture by celebrating singledom, and some of the best #SingleAsHellChallenge tweets so far will make you want to ditch your partner and join in on the fun.

Pro Tip: Winter might seem like a rough time to be single, but Bustle's Sex and Relationships Editor Michelle Toglia says that doesn't have to be the case. "Forget cuffing season, I think winter is actually the best time to be single," she says. "Not only do you not have to stress about getting the perfect gift for a significant other (and their parents! Are you supposed to get them one too? AHH), but you get to celebrate the holidays exactly the way that you want to. More time indoors also gives you the chance to work toward your goals, whether it’s writing more or finally learning a new language. And if you are looking to meet someone, there’s no shortage of holiday parties."

Today's WTF Moment: Snoop Dogg has a new Twitter follower: Hillary Clinton. Yes, really.

What To Watch: The superhero crossover special of your dreams is finally here. Tune into the CW at 8 p.m. for the first installment of a four-part special about what happens when the stars of Supergirl , The Flash , Arrow , and Legends of Tomorrow join forces.
