 We’re still reeling from the shock murder of filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. The LA District Attorney Nathan Hochman has charged their son Nick Reiner with two counts of first-degree murder, carrying a maximum sentence of life in prison, with possibility of the death penalty. Federal prosecutors arrested four SoCal people who are part of a group called Turtle Island Liberation Front. They were plotting a New Year’s Eve terrorist attack in which they planned simultaneous bombings across LA as people enjoyed the festivities. Dictionary.com’s word of the year is six-seven. There are so many words of the year, including “parasocial,” “fatigue” and slop.

Well, his wet dreams were dashed when he found out the bonus was just $50. New surveys show one in five Americans are ditching traditional holiday wish lists in favor of something far more basic, like cold, hard cash to help pay rent, bills and utilities.
