"Pro-Palestinian protesters briefly blocked entrance roads to airports in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday [December 27, 2023], snarling traffic as U.S. airlines contended with a rush of holiday travel.

The demonstrations stopped cars on the outskirts of New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, where some travelers set off on foot to bypass the jammed roadway, as well as Los Angeles International Airport. A total of 62 people were arrested during the two protests, police said.

In New York, activists locked arms and held banners demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas war and expanded rights for Palestinians, bringing traffic to a standstill on the Van Wyck Expressway leading up to the airport for about 20 minutes.

Video posted to social media showed passengers, some carrying suitcases, leaving vehicles behind and stepping over barriers onto the highway median.

Twenty-six people in the protest were arrested for disorderly conduct and impeding vehicular traffic, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey dispatched two buses to help travelers caught in the backup reach the airport, agency spokesperson Steve Burns said.

Around the same time as the New York protest, a major thoroughfare leading to the Los Angeles airport was shut down by another group of pro-Palestinian protesters, who dragged traffic cones, trash bins, scooters and debris into the lanes, according to news helicopter footage.

In a statement, the Los Angeles Police Department accused protesters of throwing a police officer to the ground and “attacking uninvolved passerbys in their vehicles,” without providing further details about either incident.

The group appeared to flee when police arrived, though the Los Angeles Police Department said traffic around the airport remained impacted roughly two hours after the demonstration was declared unlawful.

A spokesperson for the LAPD said 35 people were arrested for rioting and one person was arrested for battery of a police officer. No officers were injured, according to the spokesperson. An estimated 215,000 passengers and 87,000 vehicles were expected to pass through the Los Angeles airport on Wednesday.

Since the Israel-Hamas war erupted on Oct. 7, near nightly protests have broken out in cities across the United States. In New York, pro-Palestinian organizers have responded to the growing death toll in Gaza with escalating actions aimed at disrupting some of the city’s best-known events, including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the annual tree-lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center."

Scream'd makes an appearance in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

[yesterdays-xkcd]

He actually installed each piece in a different car in the lot, then built a new car in the spot from the displaced pieces. It's a confusing maneuver known as the auto-troll shuffle

Secretary: Part 3 [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

Narration: The confirmation hearings begin... [Four Senators sit behind a table.] Senator: It appears you have quite an arrest record.

[Black Hat sits behind a desk.] Senator: Is it true you completely disassembled someone's car outside a Starbucks? Black Hat: It was parked across two spaces.

Senator: You stole a red Fokker triplane and strafed the snoopy float at the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade?

Black Hat: Got three mimes, too.

Senator: You disrupted a 9/11 truth meeting, insisting the Twin Towers never actually collapsed? Black Hat: I have evidence! Don't trust the media! Wake up, sheeple!

Senator: You were fired from Radio Shack after you built a death ray and vaporized a customer?

Black Hat: I was just testing it! Figures that'd be the one day there was a shopper in the aisle.

Senator: And you were thrown out of Microsoft headquarters for... trying to feed a squirrel through a fax machine?

Black Hat: I forgot about that! it was part of an argument with Steve Ballmer about Vista. Which I won, by the way.

[Senators look down at their notes.]

Senator: This is the worst history of vandalism, gleeful mayhem, and general recalcitrance we've seen in a nominee since Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Senator: And this-you stole a nuclear submarine? Black Hat: I plead the third

Senator: You mean the fifth? Black Hat: No, the third.

Senator: You refuse to quarter troops in your house? Black Hat: I have few principles, but I stick to them.

Narration: Meanwhile... [Aboard Ron Paul's blimp.] Ponytail: We're nearing Washington, sir. Ponytail: Wait... There's something ahead on the sensors.

Ponytail: It's a balloon. Ron Paul: ...Oh, no.

Thanksgiving Special - Day One - Curtis Gang (Unit)

Platonic!Curtis Gang x gn!reader

Trigger Warnings: One (1) swear

Summary: Pre Curtis Parents death, a happy thanksgiving day spent goofing around with the gang before Mrs. Curtis calls everyone in for Thanksgiving dinner.

{Reader is around Two-Bit's age}

"Oh wow look at that one!"

"That one's new right?"

"No it's not you dope!"

"Quiet down I can't hear anything!"

"No one cares about the talking parts Ponyboy!"

You could hear the gang arguing before you had even properly made it up the porch steps. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was already well under way, but you didn't really care that you had missed that start. In fact, most of the gang would feign the same thing if anyone else were to ask about it.

The house was already filled with the smell of something delicious, and Mrs. Curtis flashed you a bright smile as you entered the house, "Good moring (y/n)!"

"Mornin' Mrs. C! That smells incredible!"

She let out a chuckle, "Just wait till Darrell gets that turkey started!"

"(y/n) come 'ere!" Soda called from where everyone was gathered around the TV, "Pony just wants to listen to Betty White talk!"

"No I don't!"

You laughed, making your way over to the couch, and squeezing your way between Steve and Two-Bit, "Sure Pony, sure..."

"What the hell is that?" Dally demanded as a large green balloon rounded the street corner on the screen.

"Language!" Mr. Curtis called from where he sat at the kitchen table, mixing together basting for the turkey.

Dallas looked down at his lap, grumbling, "Sorry..."

"It's a Dinosaur, stupid." Johnny said, elbowing at him.

"I'm not stupid, stupid." He snapped, shoving back.

Before any larger fight could erupt, Mrs. Curtis appeared, "Who wants to help peel some potatoes?"

Immediately, Johnny's hand shot up, followed closely by yours. With a satisfied smile, she pulled two of the chairs away from the table, so that you could continue to watch the parade while you worked.

The two of you sat, working quietly and trading snarky comments about the others back and forth, too far removed and close to Mr. Curtis' ever watching eyes for any of them to retaliate.

"Say, Junior, can you go get the turkey? I pulled it out of the icebox this morning so it could defrost." Mr. Curtis called eventually.

Dutifully Darry got up to go help with the turkey.

Some time later, after the dinner prep had been finished, the parade ended, and both adults thoroughly tired of Two-Bit's loud off key christmas carols that had begun when Santa had appeared, Mrs. Curtis couldn't help but let out a groan.

"Boys, why don't you go out and play some football," Mr. Curtis said, "Maybe I'll even come out and join you when Mrs. C decides I'm no good at helping out anymore."

There was a cheer of excitement, and then you were all rushing to put on shoes and jackets as Darry went off to get his old football.

Later, Mrs. Curtis would call everyone inside to set the tables, and Mrs. Mathews would come down the street with her famous apple pie which would sit tantalizing everyone till it was time for dessert.

For now, you all raced out into the chilly air without a care in the world.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2024

We got to hear about some interesting news today!

Here in the USA, we always get something every year called the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade". For the past six years, Chase appeared in them as one of the many balloon floats (I even posted a clip of it, all the way back in 2019). It seems they decided to go with another pup this year...

And since I'm making a post about it, you can guess who it'll be.

WE'RE GETTING A MARSHALL FLOAT!!! 🤩🤩🤩

I've seen Marshall included in a few parades in other countries, and unless I'm mistaken, this will his first appearance here in the USA! What unexpected yet wonderful news! And oh, you can bet I'll 100% post some pics (and hopefully a clip or two) when I get to see it! Ooh, I can't wait! 🤩

Of course, the image you see above is just a computer generated representation of the balloon. We won't actually get to see it until the day of the parade. I'm certainly looking forward to it, clearly! lol

MERRY CHRISTMAS‼️do u have any holiday hcs?

YOU FUCKING BET I DO

All the kids are in charge of making something for big holiday meals. That way they all have at least one thing they like, and when you have twelve people making food you inevitably have enough for all twelve people. Win-win.

There’s a whole list of late fall/winter holidays that they celebrate, peculiar and normal alike. American Thanksgiving was eventually added for Jacob and Noor, though they’ve thoroughly established that it has nothing to do with the actual original Thanksgiving and is more an excuse to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving like five times. Even still, certain peculiars (Enoch) refuse to participate willingly.

Horace has officially put himself in charge of decorating for said holidays. This makes late October, November, and December actual literal hell for Horace. The others offer to help, but it’s not that he doesn’t want it, it’s that he’s the one who has to do it or it won’t be absolutely perfect.

One year Jacob and Noor got everyone Santa hats. And then forced everyone to wear them. Please enjoy that mental image.

They do religious holidays, but they don’t really do religious holidays. Since peculiars don’t appear to really have religion it’s more about their family’s traditions and the history of it than anything else.

Because of the Panloopticon, convincing Miss Peregrine to take them to a snowy loop on vacation is now an option. Jacob, Horace, and Olive get the most excited about it.

Jacob tried to show them instant hot chocolate. It did not go well.

Horace. Snowy loop. Ice skating. Need I say more.

As previously mentioned, Jacob will pick one Christmas song he likes and put it on repeat for literal hours and that is why Jacob is not allowed to pick the music anymore. Noor, however, is, and brings back records of things she and Jacob grew up with like Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown and the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas album. One of those was significantly more confusing to the kids from the 1940s than the other.

I have more but this is devolving into “my favorite characters just do what I do for Christmas” so I’m gonna stop

Fun fact though those records in the last one are genuine records my dad owns. And plays every Christmas. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore would be proud

The funniest show on television is Girls5Eva, which transplanted from the backwoods of Peacock to the mires of Netflix for its third season. While a lot of shows have taken off after landing on Netflix — You, for instance — Girls5Eva, from the data available publicly, didn’t get many viewers on the platform. I’m no expert on the mechanics of streaming, but I have one radical explanation for why this is happening: There are simply not enough episodes of Girls5Eva available to watch. On Peacock, the show had two eight-episode seasons. Netflix has given it an additional six. That means that Girls5Eva has aired, in total, only 22 episodes, about the same number as a full-season order of an old-fashioned network sitcom like 30 Rock, to which Meredith Scardino’s series is deeply indebted (Scardino wrote on 30 Rock; Tina Fey is a Girls5Eva executive producer). Over a three-year period? This is simply not enough!

Sitcoms are built for mass production and consumption, with dynamics between characters designed to generate an endless stream of story lines, and it can take a season or two to fully gel. Girls5Eva is lucky enough to have a distinct sensibility and a strong cast from the start, but it hasn’t had the space to work through all the possible material. There’s so much to mine in flashbacks to the girl group’s checkered early-aughts past, in Wickie’s failed solo career, in Summer’s wackadoo Christian upbringing, in Gloria’s fraught lesbian drama, and in Dawn’s attempts to find her own way as a songwriter (plus the larger meta arc of Sara Bareilles coming into her own as a comedic actor). Season three, in which the crew goes on tour around the country, tries to cover so much ground it’s like a distance runner sprinting at her vO2 max. The overarching plot — they want to perform at Radio City Music Hall — encroaches on all the fun along the way, rushing past a guest appearance from Cat Cohen, the reveal of Wickie’s real backstory, and an intricate Harry Styles parody. Sitcoms should be about all the fun everyone is having along the way, and we’ve lost that.

But there is another and perhaps more important reason that we need longer seasons of Girls5Eva: holidays. Network sitcoms, airing on a traditional schedule, have the opportunity to set episodes around the holidays near which they would air; think of the Thanksgiving episodes of Friends, The Office’s Christmas episodes, 30 Rock’s impeccable use of Leap Day. In my ideal universe where Girls5Eva has 22-episode seasons, Netflix would also abandon the binge strategy and air those episodes weekly, but that’s not a necessity. You could still drop them all at once, which gives me the opportunity to revisit the holiday episodes as those holidays occur throughout the year. If you need convincing, here are my suggestions for some holidays the Girls5Eva might celebrate:

Christmas (duh): Dawn tries to write a Christmas song; Wickie reveals a longstanding feud with Mariah Carey (she claims one of the items from her riff rolodex appears in “All I Want for Christmas Is You”; Mariah does not know her).

Thanksgiving: The girls try to book a gig at the Macy’s Parade (as Peacock actually had the stars do, to the confusion of my parents watching at home) while also atoning for their past sins at the event (revealed in flashback).

Valentine’s Day: Gloria revisits a past relationship with Taylor Lautner (she was his dentist).

Tax season: Summer reveals she hasn’t been paying taxes for years (thought you were covered if you already paid your church).

Presidents’ Day: Dawn tries to write a song about Lincoln being sexy, inadvertently offends a gay activist group.

Pride month: Return of Bowen Yang’s lip-sync influencer.

Cuffing season: Big for Gloria.

The Feast of San Gennaro: Big for Dawn (why is the show so all-in on Sara Bareilles being Italian??).

V-E Day: Wickie and Dawn’s husband, Scott, discover their mutual fascination with the Eastern Front: “I spent a lot of time touring post-Soviet states, okay!”

Casimir Pulaski Day: Gloria has beef with Sufjan Stevens.

“You either are a wrestler or you aren’t. No one can give you permission. Everyone knows that.” -          Aunt P / Quesa Poblana, Invincible Fight Girl (Ep. 01)

The Toonami Trending Rundown for November 2024. It was a month of big premieres, as viewers were treated to the World Premiere of Invincible Fight Girl, the return of Blue Exorcist to Toonami for the first time in a decade, and the U.S. television premiere of Mashle: Magic and Muscles.

For the social media buzz on the nights of Toonami proper, #Toonami trended in the USA on Twitter on November 9, 23 and 30th, as well as on Tumblr on November 23. Invincible Fight Girl trended in the US during all five weeks of the month, and Mashle also trended on all weeks save for the 2nd (as the latter show would make its debut a week later due to the former show having a doubleheader for its premiere.) As for Toonami Rewind, #ToonamiRewind and Sailor Moon would trend in the US during both the broadcasts of November 8 and 22nd.

The feature for November 16 was a new Toonami ID titled “Vended.” You can check it out below:

And on November 23, Toonami released a Game Review of Neva by Nomada Studios. It received an 8/10 score.

Anime was well represented at the 97th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as floats of both Goku and Luffy once again took to the streets of New York City on Thanksgiving.

Toho Animation has revealed a new trailer and key visual for Dr. Stone: Science Future, the fourth and final season of the series. The first cour of the new season is scheduled to premiere in Japan and on Crunchyroll in January 2025.

David Wald, the voice of Hannes in Attack on Titan, Tetsutetsu in My Hero Academia, among others, has announced that he will no longer be reprising his roles in any Crunchyroll productions in the future thanks to some abusive behavior from his now former employer. According to David, Funimation/Crunchyroll employees for the past five years have been opening up any fan mail that was sent to him through them, threw away said letters, and passed out any included items between staff members. Which is a violation of federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1702 - Obstruction of correspondence). While Crunchyroll execs have stated that they are investigating the situation, they have yet to update at this time, as the situation may or may not be under litigation.

If you've read my OP-ED, The 2020’s Anime and Streaming Service Bubble Burst, this behavior hasn’t been atypical for Crunchyroll and Funimation since being bought and merged by Sony, as David joins the likes of Kyle McCarley, Laura Post, Marin M. Miller, Ben Diskin, all of Toonami, among many other talents and industry figures, that Crunchyroll has burned bridges with since their merger.

Sony won’t be getting away from the monopoly allegations any time soon, as Reuters reported during the month that they have been in talks to acquire media conglomerate Kadokawa for their anime and video game assets. However, on December 19, Sony have since toned it down (for now at least) to a "strategic capital and business alliance" by acquiring a 10% stake in Kadokawa and will collaborate on various future projects.

Finally, In the Sword Art Online universe, November 7th, 2024 is the exact day when Kirito, Asuna, and the players of SAO would clear the world of Aincrad. To commemorate the occasion, Aniplex and Kadokawa has released this key visual from the events of Episode 14.

Not much else to say other than until next time, stay golden as always.

“Thanksgiving Dinner”

Here are the some characters that appear in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade having a Thanksgiving Dinner. Drawing inspired (parodied) by “Norman Rockwell’s Freedom From Want.” I thought to would be a perfect piece for Minnie Mouse’s debut to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! 🍽 🦃🍗
