Emma has a new toy:
@campingcockatoo Emma was a good cockatoo this year so she got to open an early Christmas 🎁 She was a fan up until the toy came to life 😅 #umbrellacockatoosoftiktok #umbrellacockatoo #exoticpets #parrotsoftiktok #petsoftiktok #birdsoftiktok #fyp #fypシ #birdlover #funny #dancingbird
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Today on Peacock, Days of Our Lives airs the final episode featuring the late great John Aniston. The episode ends with a montage of Aniston’s clips, with a final image of Victor sailing away on his yacht, “Victor.” You can see more tributes to Aniston on Days‘ Instagram page.
Fox News refusing to air President Biden’s holiday speech in which he wishes the season “will drain the poison that has infected our politics, and set us against one another,” is SO ON BRAND, I can’t even find the words for it. Fox News, literally embodying Taylor Swift’s verse: “Hi! It’s me! I’m the problem, it’s me!”
So, Jeopardy! did a thing last week and it was apparently all Ken Jenning’s idea:

I regret to inform you that actress Haley Lu Richardson dresses like Portia on The White Lotus.
I assume you all survived the winter blast. We were all this Iowa reporter this weekend:

This is as brilliant as it is creepy. AI will replace all of us and we have no one to blame but ourselves.
Prompt: Home Alone. But as the opening credits of White Lotus season two. #MadeWithRunway pic.twitter.com/CJA3Ry3zMw

WHAT DID I JUST SAY ABOUT AI REPLACING US?
More “Nepo Babies” have things to say about their privilege.
Minnie Driver, who has known Henry Cavill since he was a teenager, thinks we should think of the Witcher as capable of regeneration like The Doctor, and calm down already.
Ellen made a heartfelt tribute to tWitch:
