While Tom Hanks was receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom yesterday, a fan of his got a surprise gift in the mail. The actor, who has never been shy about expressing his love of typewriters, sent artist Denise Esposito a glorious typewriter along with a personal note after she presented him with a book of sketches.

The NHL on Tuesday unveiled the name and logo of its newest team, the Las Vegas Golden Knights. The Knights are hockey's first expansion team since 2000 and will field a roster through an expansion draft next summer, reports USA Today. It was a great moment for Las Vegas; the Knights are Sin City's first major professional sports team. But we can always count on the internet to find something to troll.

A new browser extension could help make your Facebook feed feel a little less like an echo chamber for your own political beliefs. The program, called EscapeYourBubble, claims to replace ads on the social network with hand-picked articles that illuminate a point of view you may not have considered (though in practice, the articles currently more often appear around the ads). Users simply identify as either "Democrat" or a "Republican" when installing the plug-in, and potentially opposing viewpoints are served accordingly. Because of the way its news algorithm matches posts to your views and interests, Facebook has an alarming tendency to silo its users into separate, ideology-driven realities where they're seldom exposed to people with a disagreeing opinions.

Donald Trump is still totally Donald Trump. Oh, sure, he's preaching a message of bringing a divided America together. And he knows how to put on a good show. But at the end of the day, he's still Donald Trump. Two weeks removed, he's already backtracked on one of his biggest — and most incendiary — promises of the campaign: seeking charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server. But there's more to it than that and Trump flashed that same mix of inconsistency and bombast when he sat down yesterday with the New York Times for one of his only major, on-the-record interviews since winning the election.

If Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein can raise around $2 million by Friday afternoon, the United States may have a vote recount on its hands. Stein's campaign announced Wednesday via its website that they're trying to raise enough money to contest and recount the presidential election results in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, all of which show thin margins between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Trump has been declared the winner in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, while Michigan remains too close to call. "After seeing compelling evidence of voting anomalies, the Stein/Baraka Green Party Campaign is launching an effort to ensure the integrity of our elections," the campaign wrote, on a website funding page. "With your help, we are raising money to demand recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—three states where the data suggests significant discrepancies in vote totals." Read more...

When it comes to holiday shopping and Black Friday deals, it's important to remember one thing: just because something is discounted doesn't automatically make it worth buying. Buying something at reduced cost feels like winning a contest or gaming the system — that's by design. There's a reason bargain shopping is so addicting: the anticipation of finding a killer deal actually pumps the brain full of dopamine. Retailers take every measure possible to capitalize on that rush and turn the thrill of the hunt into the satisfaction of the purchase (ideally purchases, plural). In the attempt to catch deal-crazed consumers, though, they offer some bogus discounts. Read more...

San Francisco is known for its winding roads – and apparently, those winding roads make for quite the festive bike route. Every year around Thanksgiving, bikers complete the 50-mile Turkey Ride in San Francisco. If cyclists track their path on their phones, an image of a turkey wearing a pilgrim hat appears. Redditor GoatLegSF shared an image of one biker's route in the San Francisco subreddit. Image: GOATLEGSF/REDDIT He explained how riders nail the route. "The guy who routed it has it all on a map with arrows for turns and such. It's a lot of stopping and checking the map so we don't miss parts," he said. "But you'll notice the upper left corner of the hat was slightly overlooked, so it's not tapered like the right side. There's a lot of riding over the same parts too, especially by the tail feathers and the hat (which happens to be the steeper parts)." Read more...

Verizon's recently announced Black Friday promotion isn't extensive, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in quality. Google quality, to be specific. Verizon will be debuting Google Home at a special price of $99.99 through Nov. 28 — the same discount from $129 Google itself teased earlier in the season.

When it comes to wearables, your choices primarily fall into two buckets: smartwatches that have fitness tracking features and fitness trackers that also have smartwatch-style notifications.

While few wearables manage to do both well, the Charge 2 strikes the right balance, if fitness-first features are what you're after. Less is moreImage: karissa bell/mashable One of the $149.95 Charge 2's most noticeable changes, compared with previous generations of the Charge line, is the slimmed-down design.

Now we know what caused Europe's Mars lander to crash
The European Space Agency (ESA) finally has a better idea of what caused its ill-fated Mars lander to crash-land on the Red Planet in October. It looks like the Schiaparelli lander — part of the joint alien life-hunting ExoMars mission between the ESA and Russia — crashed into the surface of Mars due to a glitch in its navigation system. The ins and outs of the issue that doomed that lander are complicated, but basically, as Schiaparelli was coming in for touchdown its navigation computer miscalculated its altitude, leading the onboard computer to think that the lander was already safe and on the ground.

His grandmother was born in an area which eventually became Pakistan, shawnwasim wrote on Reddit, adding that some Christian families did celebrate the holiday, but not in a grandiose way. "There were Christian families who celebrated Christmas there but it was pretty hidden and not nearly as festive as the ones in Christian-majority countries like the US.

Sia sent Greene, the founder of an organisation that raises awareness for gender inequality in sport, to accept the award with a powerful message for the marriage equality movement in Australia. Australia is the last remaining developed, English-speaking country in the world that has not made same-sex marriage legal, and Greene's impassioned words had the crowd applauding and cheering more rapturously than any of the music acts that graced the same stage.

In between Ridley Scott's original Alien movie and its sequels, and the recent Prometheus prequel which doesn't really feature the creature from Alien, lies Scott's new movie, Alien: Covenant. Not much is known about the movie, but if you're wondering whether it's more of a sequel to Prometheus or a prequel to Alien, the movie's first poster should give at least a partial answer (and scare you at the same time).
So yes, H.R. Giger's Xenomorph creature will definitely be there. As will the trio of actors from Prometheus: Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and Guy Pearce. Read more...

Facebook is committed at bringing internet access to much of India, but the social giant won’t be using its Aquila drone to achieve it in the country. The high-altitude, solar-powered unmanned drone, designed to beam internet to remote parts of the world, isn’t headed to India, Umang Bedi, Managing Director, for Facebook in India and South Asia noted at a round table discussion on Wednesday. "Aquila is one of our connectivity efforts, which I think, is an experiment for the US only. It’s got nothing to do with India; there was some speculation, but that was speculation only,” Bedi told FactorDaily, refuting claims made in a recent media report. Read more...

If you're deciding between the Amazon Echo and the Google Home, there's a new contender: the DingDong, from Chinese manufacturer LingLong. Its latest digital home assistant model, the A3, looks pretty similar to the Echo — it's a cylindrical speaker that will respond to users asking for information such as the weather or their schedule. It can play music, or help you take notes and control your home appliances — pretty much whatever internet-connected system it can talk to. And in typical Chinese fashion, it's priced very competitively at 698 yuan ($100), while adding new features like portability — it's able to play up to eight hours of music on the go. Read more...

Call it the social media generation's version of a pilgrimage. Hashtags and geotagging mean anyone can follow their favourite Instagrammer to even the most remote and most specific locations, tempted by their deliberately styled "un-style" and flawless tans. Take Lauren Bullen, proprietor of the Instagram handle @gypsea_lust and at last count more than 825,000 followers. In mid-November, she accused one @diana_alexa of copying her travel photos down to juice stand and swimwear selection. Many cried hoax on the whole situation, and Bullen has declined to talk further about the incident, even deleting the original post on her website. Read more...

Aerial pictures and videos of a massive traffic jam during the Thanksgiving getaway in the Los Angeles area have caused hilarious reactions on social media. The gridlock on the Interstate 405 in Los Angeles — one of the busiest routes in the U.S. — was filmed by KABC-TV as millions of Americans travel over the holidays. The American Automobile Association says almost 49 million people will travel at least 50 miles or more from home this Thanksgiving — a million more than last year and the most since 2007.

Paid Content by Tiger BeerForget horoscopes. Any serious beer drinker knows there’s only one true test of character: Your taste in brew, of course Tiger White in particular is a telling choice of beverage. It has a distinct character, a bold bite, a signature cloudy color and an intricate flavour profile — though it’s also a beer with wide-ranging appeal, enjoyed by both the sophisticated and the novice beer-drinker alike. If Tiger White is your go-to order at the bar, we bet you didn’t know how many character traits you’re likely to share with the very wheat beer you love to drink. Below, we’ve taken a stab at profiling the “wheat beer drinker” based on a few enviable personality traits. Read more...

What’s a bag of rocks and a downward force good for? Lighting the world, of course. Creating a future that’s bright and safe for all is at the heart of GravityLight – the lamp that’s lighting areas of the world with limited access to electricity using the power of (you guessed it) gravity. As the 2015 winner of Shell’s Springboard programme, GravityLight is a gravity (there’s that word again) powered lamp designed by Deciwatt to provide a safer, cleaner alternative to the dangerous kerosene lamps which are common in the developing world. Did you know that as of 2015 1.1 billion people are still without access to energy? For many of these people the only affordable solution to their lack of access has been kerosene lamps which are harmful to their health. In fact, studies have shown that inhaling the toxic fumes from kerosene lamps is the equivalent of smoking 170 cigarettes per year; unintentional ingestion of kerosene is the leading cause of child poisoning in the developing world . Beyond respiratory issues, the danger these lamps pose to the societies they light are plenty – in India alone the WHO estimates that one million people each and every year suffer moderate to severe burns caused by overturned kerosene lamps.

LONDON — A family's selfie against the backdrop of a Scottish cliffside has gone viral. However, as majestic as those cliffs are, it's not the image itself that has caught the internet's attention.

Twitter citizen Ruth Dawkins reports that the camera was discovered on the Isle of Skye, and shared an image from its memory in hopes that the family might be located.
Reddit CEO confesses to editing comments from Trump supporters
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is at the centre of controversy after confessing that he edited comments made about him on the site by Donald Trump supporters. Huffman, who co-founded Reddit with Alexis Ohanian in 2005 and goes by the username 'spez', admitted to changing abusive posts about him to mention the moderators of Reddit's biggest pro-Trump subreddit, r/the_donald. “Yep. I messed with the “fuck u/spez” comments, replacing “spez” with r/the_donald mods for about an hour,” he said in response to a post in which users called him out for that. "As the CEO, I shouldn’t play such games, and it’s all fixed now," Huffman said. "Our community team is pretty pissed at me, so I most assuredly won’t do this again." Read more...

LONDON — Fantastic Beasts may have shed light on a period of magical history we didn't previously know that much about, but it also opened up a whole bunch of new questions too. One of the biggest? The mysterious Leta Lestrange, who whose absence during the first film — aside from the fleeting glimpse we saw of her in one of Newt's photographs — was almost like a presence in itself. From the sounds of it, though, Rowling isn't going to keep us in the dark for too much longer.
This absolute legend shot a hole-in-one during her first ever golf lesson
Some people are naturally talented. But a hole-in-one at your first ever golf lesson? That's something special.

We can't even be jealous of this woman's incredible feat, because her reaction is all of us. Uber eyes UberCommute expansion in India
Uber plans to expand its UberCommute service across India, but the path it is hoping to travel is likely more complicated than it is anticipating. Early this year, Uber quietly began testing UberCommute in New Delhi and Bengaluru cities in India. The program allows anyone with a car to join its platform and share ride with fellow commuters for a fee. Shortly after its launch, the Karnataka government accused Uber of violating transport department rules by facilitating unregulated use of private vehicles for commercial usage. The company has been tight lipped on UberCommute's performance so far, but it is now eyeing a nation-wide expansion of UberCommute. Read more...

Much of the attention around the update has been focused on the changes to Symmetra, but tech-savvy fans dug through the data and found some other surprises.

A historic site that was used by Britain's codebreakers during World War II could become the country's first national college of cyber education.

The free-to-attend boarding school will start in September 2018 with an initial intake of 100 students. It will teach cyber skills to "the UK's most gifted 16-19-year-old prodigies, challenging and developing them into the top flight cyber security professionals of tomorrow", according to a statement.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams will be busy playing the Colts on Thanksgiving Day, so he prepared his Thanksgiving meal a bit early — with the help of comedian Ben Schwartz. In a video for Courtyard, the duo combines every Thanksgiving dish imaginable — sweet potatoes, green beans, turkey — into one "cake." They discuss touchdown celebrations, unicorns and science while creating their Thanksgiving concoction. Sadly, it doesn't end well. But a Thanksgiving meal is a Thanksgiving meal, no matter if it's intact or not. How millennials give for the holidays: Donating online and buying cool shoes
Millennials are known for selfies, Snapchat filters, reality television and — charitable donations? Yes, the generation with a reputation for self-centeredness and instant gratification apparently also exhibits philanthropic tendencies. In light of the holiday season — and with Giving Tuesday (the annual post-Cyber Monday day of charity) just about a week away — we took a look at how and why millennials like to give. Millennial giving for goodDerrick Feldmann is the lead researcher for the Millennial Impact Project and author of “Social Movements for Good.” He says millennials (those ages 18 to 34 in 2015, according to the Pew Research Center) like to give and are empowered by empathy. They particularly get behind social causes. Read more... More about Warby Parker, Toms, Holiday Giving, Charity, and Millennials Read More »What is behind the turkey pardoning ritual?
Since 1989, when President George H. W. Bush first formally institutedthe practice, U.S. presidents have pardoned a turkey shortly before Thanksgiving each year. Although the turkeys offer no offense, their presidential pardoning invites the question: What is the significance of such a public rite of forgiveness? As a researcher of the history of race and religion, I have long been interested in the ideas and ceremonies that make forgiveness possible. The presidential turkey pardon draws on the long traditions of forgiveness in the world’s religions. A very public act of pardoning, as in this case, reminds us about the important role rituals themselves play in society. Read more...

Jetman and his buddies are back. Yves Rossy, the man who decided that you don't need much more than a tiny wing and a jetpack to fly, has teamed up with pilots Vincent Reffet and Fred Fugen in south of France for another absolutely insane and beautiful stunt. This time, the three pilots are flying in formation with Patrouille de France's Alphajets, one of the best precision aerobatics teams in the world. According to the press release, the jetpack-equipped men fly "just a few meters" from the airplanes — not an easy task when you control the jetpack with body movements alone. Read more...

Selena Gomez is the most followed Instagram user on the planet. In September, she became the first and only person to rack up 100 million followers (now it's up to 103 million). It's a significant feat for any pop star — her BFF Taylor Swift is trailing behind at just over 90 million followers right now. But its true significance lies in the fact that it happened during a period of radio silence from Gomez, whose last post was 14 weeks ago. In August, Gomez checked herself into rehab to confront her anxiety and depression head on, and the act of self-care spoke volumes. But Gomez’s hiatus hasn’t hurt the pop star’s career. Instead, her willingness to expose her vulnerability has only strengthened her fan base. Read more...

But now, social media means a digital imprint of a person's life can also live on after a person has died. Grief is a profoundly personal experience that comes in a myriad of forms.

Women have always lived longer than men, study says
Men still aren't living as long as women — and that holds true for humans' primate cousins as well, a new study shows. In the study, researchers looked at data from six populations of humans from both modern and historical times, in different countries. The investigators found that, "in spite of the huge gains in human longevity over the past century, the male-female difference has not shrunk," said Susan Alberts, a professor of biology at Duke University and a co-author of the new study. SEE ALSO: Tech that's making your workout cleaner The researchers did find that the the amount by which women outlived men varied across populations. For instance, the largest male-female difference in life span among the populations studied was in modern-day Russia, where the gap is approximately 10 years. Much smaller differences were found in other populations such as people living in modern-day Nigeria and India. Read more...

Obama's final Thanksgiving message is a touching tribute to his daughters
After pardoning his last turkey, President Barack Obama has a final Thanksgiving message from the Oval Office. In a Facebook post on Thursday morning, Obama reminisced about his daughters' growth during his family's time in the White House. He also posted photos of Malia and Sasha Obama over the past eight years. When Obama took office, Malia was 10 and Sasha was 7. Today, Malia is 18 and Sasha is 15. "For me, this house has served as the backdrop to the tough decisions and trying times that often characterize the Presidency. But it's also been home — it's where Michelle and I have watched our daughters grow into the funny, smart, humble, and extraordinary young women they are today," Obama wrote. Read more...

They tell all young artists one thing: Write what you know. In the early days, teen Taylor Swift had little experience with heartbreak, which would become the basis of most of her musical work. She drew inspiration in the beginning from fiction and film. And, perhaps, early aughts dramedies about a mother and daughter duo? Swift's songs are supposed to be universal, but sometimes they hit too close to home — especially if you’re Rory Gilmore. Rory is another young ingenue, inexperienced in matters of love and swept off her feet by one dashing, flawed suitor after another and her romantic path mirrors Swift’s too closely for comfort.
