Can you believe the CBS soap, The Young and the Restless, has been on television for half a century?
The network is celebrating its golden anniversary this month. Remarkably, it also has been the number one daytime drama for the last 35 years. Created by WIlliam J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, the long-running series follows a number of Midwestern families and the ins and outs of their very dramatic lives. The network and showrunners will celebrate, at least in one way, with a masquerade ball storyline this week continuing through the next. Expect surprise appearances from fan favorites and the unearthing of even more secrets.

Chew responded that ByteDance is mostly owned by institutional investors, including American ones, and that TikTok is moving all data from U.S. users to American servers run by Oracle, an American company.
I like Need2Know's newsletter retweet of the day - there’s no better case for bringing younger voices into congress than watching a hearing about any kind of technology.

It's one of TikTok's growing trends – people claiming they are from the future and making predictions about what is to come.
Now, the latest prediction is that an alien attack is imminent - and invaders will arrive ...yesterday.
The TikToker claims to be from the year 2671 and posted back in October.
'Yes, I am a real time traveler, the world will soon end.'
It continues: 'A very hostile alien species is coming to take back Earth, we will not win.

In another video he says a hostile alien species called The Distants are planning to take back earth..
