Some days have energy you can feel before anything actually happens — today has that. Not loud, not frantic, just this subtle pressure hovering between I should be practical and oh come on, just get it. Cyber Monday doesn’t really shout, it nudges. You scroll a little longer, you check specs you pretended not to care about, and suddenly that “upgrade later” plan feels flimsy. Deals blink like polite invitations rather than alarms, and somehow that’s even more persuasive.

Some dates don’t shout — they smolder. November 29 feels like one of those: a hinge day in history where things either cracked open, shifted direction, or quietly set the conditions for something bigger that would arrive later. If November 30 carries dramatic flags and headlines, November 29 tends to feel like the breath right before the announcement, or the moment a hand reaches for a door someone will later insist was kicked open.
