Skimm for November 19th

Skimm’d from the Britney concert. You better work…

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“I had some hair in my eye and I just wanted to get rid of it” – Andy Murray. Yesterday, the tennis star gave himself a courtside haircut during a match against Rafael Nadal. Next time, highlights.

ON EDGE

THE STORY

French police raided an apartment building outside of Paris this week. And now, they’re saying the raid may have stopped another potential terror attack.

DETAILS.

At least two suspected terrorists died in the operation, and eight were arrested. One of the people inside the apartment was thought to be Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Belgian guy who officials think planned last week’s terror attacks that killed 129 people. But authorities say it’s still unclear if Abaaoud was there during the raid.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Yesterday, ISIS released an image that it says shows the bomb it used to bring down a Russian plane last month in Egypt. It was apparently made from a soda can packed with explosives. Comforting. Earlier this week, Russia confirmed that terrorists were responsible for the crash that killed 224 people, but did not name names.

If Abaaoud was killed in the raid, it would be a big win in the fight against ISIS. But it would also raise security concerns about how he moved throughout the EU undetected.

REPEAT AFTER ME...

WHAT TO SAY TO YOUR NEWLY-SINGLE FRIEND WHO’S CONSIDERING TINDER...

So are investors. Today, they’ll decide whether to swipe right when Tinder’s parent company, Match Group, goes public. But at least one big trading firm is already saying ‘hard pass.’ That’s because Match Group’s other dating companies – like Match.com and OKCupid – are losing paid subscribers. And even though there are lots of fish in the Tinder sea, the company’s having a hard time making money. Match Group will share the IPO spotlight with Square Inc. Hint: those little white squares that your coffee shop uses to swipe your card at checkout. Square’s co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey – who’s also the co-founder and CEO of Twitter – has been out to prove that the company’s worth the $6 billion valuation it fundraised on. But yesterday, the company’s shares were priced at about $2.9 billion . Square peg, meet round hole.

WHAT TO SAY TO YOUR CO-WORKER WHO’S ALWAYS PUTTING THE AC ON BLAST...

There’s a reason for that. Last month was the hottest October on record, and it comes during what’s expected to be the hottest year on record. Higher temps can lead to warmer waters, so thank the Pacific, which could be triggering another El Nino. Psst...El Nino is a shift in weather that happens every few years. It’s caused by warmer waters in the Pacific, and usually brings intense storms in some areas and long droughts in others. Forecasters also say that a storm that hit the northwestern US earlier this week could be an early sign of a new El Nino. Three people were killed, and hundreds of thousands are without power.

WHAT TO SAY TO YOUR FRIEND WITH A MAN BUN...

Sorry about Details. Yesterday, Conde Nast said it’s shutting down men’s magazine Details, known for advising men on how skinny their ties should be. Even though Details had solid subscriber numbers, the magazine apparently wasn’t reeling in enough ad dollars. Meanwhile, at least Conde Nast’s legal team still has a job. Yesterday, a UK judge held Conde Nast in contempt of court for how it covered the 2013 News of the World phone-hacking trial. The judge says Conde Nast compromised the case by publishing a biased article on what went down in the courtroom, meaning the publisher could have to pay a hefty fine. Blimey.

WHAT TO SAY TO YOUR FRIEND WHO INSISTS ON TAKING PHOTOS FROM AN ‘UPWARD ANGLE’…

You’re so vain. Turns out, so is Warren Beatty.

THING TO KNOW

BNO: Boys night out. Because sometimes the XY chromosome crowd just wants to dance with their bros without getting hit on.
