Fortnite Season 10 ended in a blaze of glory, with black holes and a live stream that is still going. Tim Sweeney and Epic Games have gone full Cartmanland with this. Many expect that a Fortnite Chapter 2 will appear tomorrow with a brand-new level.

Trade wars are easy...

President Trump said that phase one of a trade deal was pretty much done on Friday. Well, it seems like the Chinese would like to talk some more. That has folks on Wall Street concerned about the upcoming tariff hikes in December. I am sure the folks in our daily Trump Dump thread will have lots to say about the ongoing trade war.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

Thanksgiving comes early to Canada. I hope all of our Canadian Shackers have a great day of feasting, boozing, and watching hockey.
