Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has blasted an elite New York City private school for letting students stay home if they feel “too emotionally distressed” to attend class after the election. The Ethical Culture Fieldston School will not assign homework on Election Day, and excused absences are allowed on Wednesday or whatever day the results are announced, The New York Times reported. The school, which has three campuses and costs more than $65,500 per year to attend, will also make psychologists available to students throughout the week. It’s likely to be a “high-stakes and emotional time” regardless of who wins, the school told parents. Seinfeld’s two sons attended Fieldston, though he told the Times that his family couldn’t stand decisions like the Election Day leniency. His younger son transferred in eighth grade. “This is why the kids hated it,” he said. “What kind of lives have these people led that makes them think that this is the right way to handle young people? To encourage them to buckle. This is the lesson they are providing, for ungodly sums of money.”

An ex-Playboy model claims Sean “Diddy” Combs once made her watch a single Jennifer Lopez music video, over and over again, during a weird sexual encounter. Speaking on The Daily Mail’s Trial of Diddy podcast, Rachel Kennedy said she met the mogul in 2000, while working as a dancer at a strip club in Tokyo. He invited her and two friends back to his hotel room, where she “realized before we even walked through the front door that it was just him,“ she explained. “I was like, ‘This is not a party.‘“ According to Kennedy, it was just Diddy in a bathrobe, playing his then-girlfriend‘s video on loop while he talked to her on the phone. Kennedy and her friend proceeded to perform oral sex on Diddy at his direction, she said, and while the encounter was consensual, she found the soundtrack strange. ”It seemed a little bit creepy to me,” she said. “Very disrespectful.” She didn’t say which song it was, though.

Anthony Scaramucci slammed Donald Trump Thursday while explaining why he’s supporting Kamala Harris in the election. Scaramucci, who had an ill-fated stint as Trump’s White House communications director in 2017, said his old boss “demonstrated incompetence” during the COVID pandemic, succumbed to “his nativist instincts,” and then “fomented an insurrection” when he lost the 2020 election. “I am supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 because I believe she is the candidate who can break us out of the cycle of ideological governance,” he wrote in Fortune. “Her commonsense policies align most with economic growth and social inclusion.” Scaramucci also said voters “willing to overlook the blatant racism” on display at Trump’s recent Madison Square Garden rally and the “dire warnings from more than 40 former Trump officials” about the dangers of a second Trump administration should also consider that his proposed mass deportations and tariffs would hurt the economy. “The result of Trump’s policies would be an economic depression twice as steep as the 2008 financial crisis, not to mention immense human cruelty,” Scaramucci wrote.

Hundreds of people in Dublin experienced a Halloween trick on Thursday, lining the streets in anticipation of a parade that never came. According to The Independent, the event—the Macnas Halloween Parade, a near-annual occurrence since 2013 that came back in 2023 after a pandemic hiatus—turned out to be a prank by an AI-generated advertisement out of Pakistan. There had been no real plans for a Macnas parade in Dublin this year. But evidently there is an enormous appetite for this sort of thing among Dubliners, who turned out in droves along the projected route. A witness watching the crowd from the window told the paper that people didn‘t seem to realize the parade was a hoax until an hour after its projected start time (7 p.m.), when the police showed up and started clearing people out. “Please be advised that contrary to information being circulated online, no Halloween parade is scheduled to take place in Dublin City Centre this evening or tonight,” the Gardaí said on Twitter. “All those gathered on O’Connell Street in expectation of such a parade are asked to disperse safely.”

A giant, naked statue of Donald Trump that has been trolling Republicans across the U.S. has reappeared in Philadelphia. The 43-foot, 6,000-pound statue first debuted in Las Vegas in September. It depicts Trump completely nude, held up by a crane. The statue also made stops in Detroit, Phoenix and Madison, all cities in swing states, as part of the “Crooked and Obscene Tour.” The tour’s anonymous organizers told TheWrap that Trump’s nudity “is intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures.” A photo posted Thursday to X shows police gathered around the statue. When it made it appearance in Nevada, the state Republican party “strongly” condemned the installation, saying in a statement that families driving through Vegas would be “forced to view this offensive marionette, designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue.”

This isn’t even Philadelphia’s first mysterious Trump statue of the week. A statue of Trump popped up behind a statue of a naked woman in a Philadelphia park on Wednesday, inscribed with: “In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault,” along with Trump’s infamous Access Hollywood comments. Nor is this the first naked Trump statue tour. In 2016, six statues of a nude Trump were displayed in cities across America, entitled “The Emperor Has No Balls.”

The U.S. economy added just 12,000 jobs in October, the lowest since Dec. 2020. The number is sharply down from 223,000 jobs added in September, and way below the Dow Jones’ estimate of 100,000 jobs added in October, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The report, released Friday, cites the hurricanes in the Southeast and the Boeing labor strike as reasons for the decline. The unemployment rate stayed the same at 4.1 percent. Cory Stahle, an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab, told CNBC that the slow job growth is “not a signal of a collapsing job market” because the effects of the storms and labor strike are “likely temporary.” With the election just days away, and the economy on the top of everyone’s minds, the jobs report “casts a murky shadow heading into next week,” Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS, told CNBC.

Megyn Kelly saw Donald Trump’s garbage truck stunt and apparently thought, I can do even better than that! The former Fox News and NBC host, who now stumps for the MAGA movement full-time on her SiriusXM show, shared a photo of her Halloween costume on Thursday, which consisted of a black garbage bag and red “Make America Great Again” hat. “Happy Halloween Garbage People!” Kelly tweeted, proudly embracing the term that she and the rest of the Trump apparatus believe President Joe Biden used to smear them earlier this week. Biden quickly clarified that he was referring to the rhetoric of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who himself called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage” at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. But that has not stopped Trump and his supporters from seizing on the comment in the same way they proudly called themselves “deplorable” after Hillary Clinton used that pejorative to describe them in 2016. Trump has similarly called America a “garbage can for the world” in rally speeches in the final weeks and days leading up to 2024 election.

Rapper Young Thug pleaded guilty to gang-related charges on Thursday and will be released to serve 15 years of probation—over two years after he was first indicted and jailed as part of the racketeering case against his record label, YSL Records. Prosecutors were unable to reach a plea deal with the Atlanta rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, and he entered a non-negotiated plea—meaning Fulton County Judge Paige Reese Whitaker had the final say over his sentence. Williams pleaded guilty to six drug and gun-related charges, but pleaded no contest to a charge of racketeering conspiracy and another charge of participating in a criminal street gang. “I take full responsibility for my crimes,” Williams said before apologizing to his family. “I know the choice is up to you, and I hope that you allow me to go home today and trust in me to do the right thing,” Williams told the court. He was eventually given a 40-year sentence with the first five years commuted to time served, and will be released on probation for the next 15 years. Williams was also given a 20-year prison sentence backloaded, but this will only kick in if he violates his probation. If he completes his probation without violating the conditions, this sentence will be commuted to time served as well.

Known for its celebrity-approved 4-in-1 Skincare Wand, SolaWave is a leader in the ever-expanding red and infrared light therapy beauty tech space. The brand recently launched a full-face LED Light Therapy Face Mask and a Red Light Therapy Eye Mask, which sold out in just 24 hours after being released. Finally, the brand restocked the viral eye mask, but stock is selling out quickly once again and, honestly, we understand why. While there are plenty of red light therapy masks on the market today, there aren’t many beauty tech devices harnessing the modality that specifically targets the delicate (and often overlooked) eye region. SolaWaves’s FDA-cleared eye mask is engineered with a blend of red (630nm), amber (605nm), deep red (660nm) and infrared (880nm) LED lights that work to soften fine lines and crow’s feet, depuff eye bags, erase hyperpigmentation and discoloration and lift sagging skin in just three minutes daily.

Unlike other devices, SolaWave’s Red Light Therapy Eye Mask is designed with medical-grade silicone to mold to the contours of the orbital region and adjustable velcro straps for a bespoke fit (and better penetration). Plus, the hands-free eye mask is lightweight and foolproof to use, so you can efficiently work, walk, watch TV, or do chores during the quick treatment, which means you’ll actually use it. If you’re looking for a powerful LED device that addresses the eye region like nothing else on the market (or are trying to push back quarterly Botox appointments), grab one of SolaWave’s Red Light Therapy Eye Masks now before they sell out again.

NBA superstar LeBron James endorsed Kamala Harris on Thursday, posting a somber video highlighting Donald Trump’s incendiary racial comments on X. “What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!” James wrote. The minute-long video overlaid Trump’s comments with images from the civil rights movement, including Emmett Till’s mother crying over his casket and police officers spraying protestors with fire hoses. “These are troublemakers, look?” Trump said over clips of civil rights marches interspersed with clips of Black Lives Matter protests. The video also begins with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke at the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally that he “carved watermelons” with a Black friend for Halloween. “Of course I hate these people. And let’s all hate these people because maybe hate is what we need,” a clip of Trump said. The video ended with the message, “Hate takes us back.”

Donald Trump’s childhood home, which has sat vacant for years, now has a new inhabitant: a horde of feral cats. Neighbors of the Queens property told Curbed that the house now holds 20 to 30 cats, fed by a volunteer. Interest in the house, where Trump lived until he was four years old, first sparked around the 2016 election. The house has since been put on the market and purchased several times for over $1 million by a string of anonymous, shadowy buyers. At one point in 2017 it was an Airbnb raking in $815 a night. Now, Curbed reports the house is in a state of complete disrepair, with the mailbox “stuffed with overdue bills,” the doorknob “smashed, and cobwebs have taken over the windows,” coupled with a “pungent smell” emitting from the front yard. There’s also a sign that says, “DO NOT TAKE KITTENS FROM THIS PROPERTY.” A neighbor said that attempts to contact the owner have failed.
