it is almost Christmas which means it’s Muppet Christmas Carol season and that, in turn, means it is time to revisit this delightful interview with Michael Caine, who loves everything about that movie even more than you do

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.
We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

There were 210,000 Haitians in the United States on humanitarian parole as of late last year.

Currently, only 33,000 Haitians with TPS, including thousands in the Springfield area & more than 1,300 children born in Clark County.

There’s a new buzzword in fashion — but it’s not clear if it actually means anything, Isabel Cristo writes. “For the conscious shopper, ‘quality’ becomes a new permission structure to soothe our shopaholic souls.”

Frank Sinatra almost got into a fist fight with Bing Crosby on the set of High Society to defend the dignity of Louis Armstrong, who was added to the production due to Sinatra’s advocacy. It’s not hard to find PSAs for tolerance that Sinatra filmed!

Ms. Thériault once again hooks me with a topic that otherwise wouldn’t cross my mind because it’s not a prior interest.

But Anne is just such a *writer* that I was all in after paragraph one—and so you will be, and you’ll be entertained as well.
I wrote for @broadviewmedia.bsky.social about modern contemplative Christianity in North America — its roots, how it’s practiced, who’s practicing it. This was a fun piece to work on and it led me to interview a lot of fascinating people!

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

EXCLUSIVE: A forced detransition policy had disastrous effects in one Georgia prison, according to the manager of the medical unit there.

The policy is on hold due to a court order requiring prisons to re-start hormone treatments for incarcerated people in GA.
