Poor Tuesday. The last few weekdays have all been big events -- Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday -- but today is just ... Tuesday. Do you think Tuesday is sad about this? Probably not, because every Tuesday is Taco Tuesday. That's not so bad, when you stop and think about it.
Anyway, below are some things we made for you that we didn't want you to miss. Oh, and here's a song of the day for you: "One Time Comin'" by YG.
