Former President Donald Trump served up french fries Sunday at a Philadelphia-area McDonald’s, oversalting spuds and peppering in some jabs at Vice President Kamala Harris. Without evidence, Trump has accused Harris of lying about the experience as a way to improve her working-class credibility. “It was a big part of her resume that she worked at McDonald’s — how tough a job it was,” Trump said at the restaurant in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. “I wouldn’t mind this job,” Trump said. She gave them one french fry for 30 reporters.”Toward the end of his appearance, Trump was informed it was Harris' 60th birthday.

In between the vulgar and bizarre moments at Trump’s rally Saturday were glimpses of a closing pitch.

Several University of Alabama students were charged in alleged fraternity hazing incidents after a pledge said he was shoved, stepped on, and had things thrown at him. Court documents filed Wednesday state that videos from the TV room and band room captured the alleged hazing. Molineaux and another fraternity member are alleged to have "shoved and struck one of the pledges," the filing says. The University of Alabama said hazing is strictly prohibited and an investigation led to the campus police department serving warrants against several members. "Hazing violates University policy, the Code of Student Conduct, and the law, and it is a matter that the University takes seriously," the school said in a statement.

New York CNN —Cooking a Thanksgiving turkey presents a host of unique challenges, including making sure it’s not dry, and making sure it’s delicious. But thawing out a multi-pound frozen bird is the first big one. Butterball has a solution with a new frozen turkey that the company says eliminates the hours-long thawing process. This week, the country’s largest turkey producer unveiled a new “Cook from Frozen” turkey that only has two steps to make it, which are unwrapping it and popping it in the oven. Butterball made a “specially formulated” brine that keeps the meat moist during the roughly 5-hour long roasting process.

Specifically: Where are the apps for the Apple Vision Pro, the $3,500 headset Apple introduced earlier this year? This is a question we've asked repeatedly, and the answer seems to be pretty consistent: Developers aren't leaping to build anything for Apple Vision Pro because they don't think many people are using Apple Vision Pro. But if developers don't build for the Apple Vision Pro, then there's never going to be any reason for people to buy an Apple Vision Pro.
