Daily Email - Thursday - 11/05/2026

Nobody yell at me… I know I'm behind, but I JUST started Abbott Elementary, and it's actually so funny. I've loved Tyler James Williams since his Everybody Hates Chris days, so having five whole seasons to catch up on feels like a real treat.

Speaking of treats, we're hooking one lucky winner up with $100 to Massara, one of Flatiron's seriously good Southern Italian restaurants. Between the handmade pasta and their new lunch menu, I can think of worse ways to spend $100. Enter to win!
