If Hillary Clinton’s attempt to connect with everyday Americans was to say she carried hot sauce in her handbag, Kamala Harris’s might be talking about the Glock she keeps at home. As the race between Harris and Donald Trump has narrowed in recent weeks, the vice-president has increasingly talked up her gun ownership in an attempt to woo moderate voters. She shot down Trump’s claim at the presidential debate that she would confiscate Americans’ firearms by saying she and running mate Tim Walz both owned one. “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away, so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff,” she scolded. Weeks later, she told Bill Whitaker on 60 Minutes that she’d owned a Glock for “quite some time” and laughed in disbelief when asked if she’d ever fired it. She told Oprah that if anyone broke into her house, “they’re getting shot.” (“I probably shouldn’t have said that,” she added, laughing again.) Harris loves talking about her gun so much that Saturday Night Live even turned her comments into a cold-open punch line.

It's finally happening, people: flying cars. Nicole Kidman had a unique problem on the set of Babygirl. Against meme Halloween costumes. Lacey Chabert and the handsome veterinarian from Schitt's Creek are doing a Netflix holiday rom-com where (no joke) a hot snowman comes to life. A word of warning: Stay away from your local Target on October 27, because it'll probably be mobbed with Gen-Zers clamoring to get their hands on this brand collab. And speaking of Gen Z, apparently they're not having sex because bedtime is for skin-care routines.
