In a watershed moment for Hollywood and generative artificial intelligence, Disney said on Thursday that it would buy a $1 billion stake in OpenAI and bring its characters to Sora, the A.I. company's short-form video platform.

Disney's $1 billion investment in OpenAI, announced Thursday morning—and its decision to let more than 200 Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters appear inside the Sora video generator—is more than a licensing deal. According to copyright and AI law expert Matthew Sag, who teaches at Emory University's law school, the deal marks a strategic realignment that could reshape how Hollywood protects its IP in the face of AI-generated content that threatens to leech their legally protected magic.

The Disney Grooming Syndicate announced Thursday it is selling out to AI by handing $1 billion and 200-plus of its iconic characters to OpenAI.

If you were to pick a film as the natural backdrop for a real-life marriage proposal, it probably wouldn’t be 2001’s Shrek, an animated fantasy-comedy featuring Mike Myers as the voice of a green-skinned ogre. But that’s exactly what made it a charming and creative choice for a man named Carter, who popped the question to his longtime girlfriend by editing himself into a climactic scene. The secretly filmed footage, which has since gone viral, shows the couple watching Shrek from their couch. Carter, decked out in shorts and a T-shirt, excuses himself from the room and tells his partner, Andressa, "You can keep it playing. I’ve seen this already. I’ll be back in one second." The clip then cuts to 50 seconds later, right before the moment Shrek confesses his love to Princess Fiona and frees her from a marriage to the evil Lord Farquaad. from funny But when Shrek enters the church, it’s not an ogre at all—it’s actually Carter, who yells "I object!" and recruits the Gingerbread Man to play Talking Heads’ 1983 classic "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" from a boombox. "There’s Carter in this version," Andressa says, stumped. "What the hell?" Her boyfriend then reemerges, decked out in a suit, as pictures of the couple appear on the screen. "Hello. Babe, I’ve thought a lot about what I want to say at this moment," he says, taking a knee. "But I’m just at such a loss for words. Would you do me the honor, Andressa Da Silva, of becoming my bride?" The whole thing is ridiculously sweet, and the Reddit reactions are priceless. People were impressed by this creative proposal"Dude is like 'HONEY! WE HAVE TO WATCH SHREK TONIGHT! WE HAVE TO WATCH IT TONIGHT NO MATTER WHAT!!'""I can picture the rehearsal trying to find out what time in the movie to leave to change""Your gf’s reaction was too cute when she sat up on the couch in her pjs! Congratulations!""Lucky girl, very original, she seemed genuinely surprised and happy. Good luck for both of you in this new start.""It’s 5:25am and I'm crying. Thanks a lot!"Upworthy reached out to James and got the scoop on how this whole thing went down. First up: Why Shrek? "[It’s] just one of those movies that everyone seems to think fondly of," he says. "She suggested we watch it as a casual movie date the month prior, so I knew there was a good chance she would say yes if I suggested we stuck it on. Thankfully she said yes right away—there's only so hard I could have pushed for watching Shrek before she would get suspicious [Laughs]." Andressa adds that she loves Shrek "the same amount as all zillennial kids seem to," adding, "It always feels like I'm watching it again for the first time, which makes it special." - YouTube www.youtube.com "I’ve had the idea for months" This movie-related proposal is even more perfect for these two, given that they originally met on a film set and both work in the industry. It was all about the stars aligning. "I’ve had the idea for months," James says, "but only settled on the specific movie and recorded about two weeks before." He worked on the project while his partner was sleeping to "edit in privacy" and was able to finish it in two nights—"one for recording the footage, one for compositing/sound work." Even the costume change required some expert choreography: "I rehearsed secretly placing the phone twice before but didn't practice the suit change! I was very down to the wire, and almost skipped the socks to save time [Laughs]." (All the details in the footage were intentional: He picked the Talking Heads song because it was "one of the first songs [they] played together" when they started dating.) Of course, it’s been "wild"—but also heartwarming—to see the video go viral. "I work in advertising, so it's not unusual to have my phone blow up with notifications after a successful work campaign," James says. "But it's a much more personal and unique experience to have it happen for a personal post rather than professional. Received a few messages for sure [laughs]." Andressa adds, "I’m feeling very celebrated and it's phenomenal to see strangers on the internet cheering for one of the happiest moments of my life. I'm feeling very loved!" Then there’s the Mike Myers of it all: "I'm a huge Austin Powers fan," James says. "We actually went as Austin and Fembot for Halloween one year, so I guess this is the second time Mike Myers has influenced our relationship."There have been other viral film-edit proposals in recent years. Back in 2020, a man hacked his girlfriend’s favorite Disney movie, Sleeping Beauty, to pull off an equally impressive move. - YouTube www.youtube.com

SO EXCITING!" pic.twitter.com/3XyCfK0YHq — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) December 10, 2025 The Trump Gold Card program, launched via executive order in 2025, allows foreign nationals (primarily investors or those sponsored by corporations) to apply for a U.S. green card through expedited channels like EB-1(a) for extraordinary ability or EB-2 national interest waiver. It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa.  The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it.

The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.’ It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream.  Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump’s words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist.  In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise.  The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents. Source: redstate.com Political/Rights This is naked judicial activism by an Obama appointed judge.

An adult male fan of the toys are known as a “Brony,” a community that at its peak was large enough to hold annual conventions. Brian Cole Jr, the man charged with placing pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees’ Washington, DC headquarters the evening before January 6, 2021, was reportedly a massive fan of the children’s series “My Little Pony,” making fan art and fan fiction dedicated to the characters.Per the New York Post, Cole, 30, appeared to have gone by usernames including iDeltaVelocity, Bron1Delta, Delta1Forgotten, and Blue Velocity online. In one account on an online forum, Cole allegedly posted dozens of fan art pieces dedicated to the My Little Pony franchise. Many of the art pieces feature characters with light purple bodies and multicolored hair.In a Tumblr account associated with the username delta1forgotten, Cole allegedly wrote in response to another user’s drawing of a My Little Pony character with a machine gun, “Eh… I’d give her an RPG [Rocket-Propelled Grenade]. What can I say? Explosions are COOL!!”My Little Pony is a franchise marketed at young girls. An adult male fan of the toys are known as a “Brony,” a community that at its peak was large enough to hold annual conventions. Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr Daniel Chadborn wrote in his book “Meet the Bronies: The Psychology of the Adult My Little Pony Fandom,” “The subculture of Bronies was very online and unique and attracted a lot of male fans, who were breaking gender norms, which attracted a lot of attention.”He noted that the subculture is generally not sexual, however, he is not surprised that some members within the community are troubled. “Someone who is disaffected is often going to look for spaces to engage in, for a sense of identity and belonging.”Cole also allegedly wrote fanfiction dedicated to the franchise, with one story marked as being an “adventure/horror” story featuring the characters Applejack and Applebloom  Source: thepostmillenial.com Winning: Woke D.C.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?”  .

Moreover, Trump faces unique challenges in an intransigent Deep State and an array of rogue judges, neither of which any other President has faced at this scale.

Trump has done amazing things in a short period of time against unprecedented institutional resistance. We are winning and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the restoration of our Constitutional republic. Nevertheless, there is much to be done.

In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana’s case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don’t want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn’t care. He’s either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn’t be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin’ Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won’t be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The  message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens.  Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.
