🍗 November - that's the STUFFing: GhostRanch Newsletter 006

Hello and welcome to Pitchin' Ain't Easy, the GhostRanch newsletter of design-related tidbits from the internet, important memes, and, of course, the latest dish on GhostRanch.

Is cranberry sauce better made from scratch or out of a can? (Homemade. Get yourself on Pinterest, already).

PHEW. The rest is gravy!

The iPhone X is officially on the shelves. Here are the best (funniest) reactions to it. Here and here are the best (serious) reviews.

Priorities. Google's hamburger emoji features the cheese below the patty which is, according to the internet, the wrong place. Google's CEO tweeted that they'd be addressing the issue ASAP.

From our Ranch to yours,
