Not sure how they do it with the Peppa production, but I recall reading that with Bluey the kids voices are done by kids of the production staff and they are not credited to protect the kids from getting any undue public criticism.
I've often wondered how they will move forward as the kids get older and their voices change. I could see using AI to capture the voice actors' voices so that you don't end up with a character's voice changing over time, but it's certainly a very sticky issue.

John Thune is running and hiding because he doesn’t want to get voter ID across the finish line.
Whether he wants to or not, he can't. Even if the filibuster was gone there aren't 50 votes on the Republican side for it.
Between senators who have lost primaries, Collins trying to protect her seat, etc. you can't get to 50.
Also, how do you retroactively check voter rolls for citizenship status? Not all states (probably very few) have that on record. Are you going to force everyone to reregister?
The sad thing is, it will become a self fulfilling prophecy. If it doesn't pass then a large chunk of Republicans stay home in November. Republicans staying home leads to big Democrat gains in the election. Ergo cheating or no cheating the outcome is the same.
The "chant" heard at the beginning of The Lion King ("Nants ingonyama bagithi baba") roughly translates to "Look, a lion! Oh my god."
It's real in that they are making inroads, but an illusion in that the support comes mostly from well off young whites. Look at the exit polls from last night - the DSA candidates did poorly with lower income, black and Hispanic.
Right now the DSA is acting like a parasitic political party and using the Democrats as the host. The plan appears to be to use the DNC to get a viable number of candidates elected at various levels and then attempt to break out as a legitimate third party. Either that or they chase off the few moderates left, wait for the old guard to die off, and take over/rename the party.

Churches are not businesses. Pastors and other paid staff already pay personal income taxes. Most small churches couldn’t afford to keep the lights on if they were not exempt from federal and state taxes. You could easily add a financial burden of 15% to 30% which most churches couldn’t absorb
On top of that you take away an incentive for people to give money to churches.
Yes, you can say that if you are a true believer and follow Christ's teachings that you will tithe whether you get to claim that on your taxes or not. However, sadly that's not the reality of the world.

Gwinnett County, Georgia holds the record for the largest population percentage increase in the United States since 1970.Between 1970 and 2024, its population surged by an astronomical 1,263%, growing from just 73,941 residents to surpass the one-million mark with 1,003,869 residents.
From the mid 80s to early 90s Gwinnett was the destination for white flight escaping the changing demographics and leadership in Dekalb County.
It is now the most diverse county in the state and I believe in the top 10 or top 20 most diverse counties in the country.
The Gwinnett public school system serves nearly 200,000 students who represent 180 countries and speak 114 different languages/dialects.

We had tickets to see Don Williams at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville. The show got postponed because Don got sick. It never got rescheduled because he ended up dieing not long after.
I've been lucky enough to see Willie and George Jones. Wish I could have seen Waylon.
I'm a little too young to have been able to see Skynyrd or the Allman's before the motorcycle accidents or the plane crash.
Wish I could have seen AC/DC and Aerosmith in the 80s/early 90s.

The only problem with the 4% inflation is that it's on top of the 5% or more inflation from the Biden administration. Prices are still going up, just not quite as fast.
Wages haven't increased enough to match the inflation numbers. We either need accelerated wage growth or a period of deflation on most common goods (food, fuel, etc.) to make most households feel like they are in a better financial situation.

That stadium looks small compared to ones in America
Much smaller. Capacity up until this year was just over 28,000. They increased it for the World Cup to hold just under 46,000.
Looks to be home to Toronto's MLS team as well as the Argonauts of the CFL.
Just looked up CFL stadium capacities and all of them are less than 60,000, with only two being above 50,000.

I know that the German guy Freddy started in the south but will eventually end up in New York. I'll be curious to see his take on the two very different regions.
Granted he has become such a phenomenon that he will probably be treated like royalty there by some of the well to dos, but if he encounters the regular rank and file who aren't on social media I wonder what his takeaways will be.

Crazy thing is, after Toronto, Germany plays in New York, and I think he said they had plans to be there too. Dude is going to get culture shock within culture shock going from the southeast and Texas to NYC.
She's mb question, but I'm not much of a flyer. He talked about checking bags for the KC-DFW flight. If they get the private jet, how hard is it going to be to get those bags back? Does it depend on if the flight was cancelled (unload the entire cargo space) vs a very lengthy delay (everything stays in the belly of the plane)?
Dude gets over 1000 comments on every post, God knows how many DMs. I can't imagine trying to keep up with all of that, plus figuring out which are real and which are fake (saw one comment claiming to be the CEO of Southwest or some other airline but if you looked at the profile it was some parody account).
