Without any warning, Netflix dropped the trailer for the creepy-looking OA, a new sci-fi (?) series that might just become your new obsession. It begins streaming on Friday.

President Obama was on The Daily Show last night and discussed a number of issues with Trevor Noah, including being mixed race, Trump, the election and the Russian hacking:
“What is it about the state of our democracy where the leaks of what were frankly not very interesting emails, that didn’t have any explosive information in them, ended up being an obsession? And the fact that the Russians were doing this was not an obsession?”
I DON’T KNOW, MR. PRESIDENT. I JUST DON’T KNOW ANYMORE.
Here’s Seth Meyer’s take on Donald Trump’s fight with the CIA over the Russian hacking:
