    How the heck do those Dick’s Sporting Goods scammers keep dodging the spam filters?

    Did you see the one about the free Yeti cooler? Or maybe a Le Creuset dutch oven? And then, minutes or hours later, did that email mysteriously disappear?

    That’s because Google and co are playing whack-a-mole with increasingly sophisticated scammers this year, reports Recode. They’re tricking the filters into thinking they link to a legit destination, then try to trick you out of money.

    Help pick Lego’s first official Dungeons & Dragons set.

    Lego recruited its own fans to design an official D&D set, and you can now vote on the five finalists by signing up for a free account. Winners don’t just get bragging rights, but also 1 percent of the proceeds!

    I’m a little annoyed that awesome Ultra Mimic got snubbed, but I might add an awesome dice tower to my collection.

    Must-have movies.

    Everything Everywhere All At Once is $10 at Amazon, and Knives Out is $8 after you press the coupon button — for the 4K UHD Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital sets.

    I don’t have to justify my taste here, but I definitely can: Webster said the former “might be one of the most charmingly ridiculous movies you see this year” and was absolutely right. The latter is not only a blast, it’ll set you up for its delightfully indulgent sequel which just hit theaters.

    The brand-new Nerf dart-firing Halo Needler is already on sale.

    Nobody’s done it right before, this one looks ridiculously cool, and it’s $30 off for Black Friday even though it just came out. Admittedly that still means you’re paying $70 for a prop. Or, you could have it be half of a BOGO deal at GameStop.

    If you don’t have that kind of money, you can get the almost-as-cool Halo MA40 Nerf blaster for $32 today, an unheard-of price for a previously hard-to-find blaster.
