I just watched the Ted Lasso Christmas episode for the first time. It's one of my new favorite things now.

think about miss piggy's place in popular culture and she's just universally acknowledged as a total babe. now think about the fact that this was a gag ("lipstick on a pig") when the muppet show started. she is a pioneer that moved that needle via sheer grind
she really did this. she's really her.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history.
We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now

Very interesting! Alex explains in the thread, but the tl;dr is that many Japanese users are fleeing Twitter for bluesky because of the reported addition of the "edit" button that lets anyone modify any image you post with AI. So artists are understandably very upset.
UPDATE: We may see the first time English is displaced as the most popular language among Bluesky posters as soon as Americans head to sleep tonight.
Japanese users were close to achieving that feat at 7 am Eastern Time, and their activity is increasing at an exponential pace. This is remarkable.

Apparently, ICE isn’t doing enough…
So the gang is expanding its ranks, recruiting *private bounty hunters* to track down immigrants at home and at work

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.
