I asked AI to generate Muppet mascots for famous Canadian brands.
Here are the results.

*Not all these brands are still owned by Canadian companies*

Molson:

Formed in 1786 in Montreal by John Molson, it is the oldest brewery in North America.

Which social media metrics should you be tracking to show success? Likes? Impressions? Video views? Shares?

So interesting to hear Nathan Lane remember how Robin Williams swooped in to protect Nathan from being outed before he was ready during the promo tour for The Birdcage in 1996. Here's the moment when it happened, and Nathan reflecting on it almost 30 years later:

Meet Tory MP and modern day feudal lord Richard Drax.

He owns 2% of Dorset, the wall round his house is three miles long, and he's one of the richest landowning MPs.

And his familial wealth is directly linked to the slave trade.

@garethking_ Even my neighbour WhatsApp group just shared your tweet!

I was told, when I'd been in post for about 8 school weeks, on the first day of an inspection, 'We're looking at a special measures situation aren't we.' This is @Ofstednews. This is the damage. I am so sorry Ruth. I am just so sorry.

Massive turnout in London today to support striking workers 👊

The message to the government is clear:

#EnoughlsEnough

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

300,000 teachers are on strike today. Why?

📉 Real pay down by 23% since 2010

📖 Devastating austerity cuts to school budgets

👩‍🏫 Stress, exhaustion and unbearable workloads amid a retention and recruitment crisis

RT if you're with our teachers 👊

[🇬🇧 TeacherToolkit.co.uk @TeacherToolkit]

It's important to note that the impending #TeacherStrike is NOT just about teacher pay!

It's also about:

1. Underfunded schools

2. Squeeze on the school day/hours

3. Teacher workload; one of the highest in the world!

= The means, ALL pupils get less quality teaching!

Nepotism in the UK differs to nepotism in the US in the same way that Ricky Gervais’ The Office differs to Steve Carrell’s: It’s subtler, nastier, and arguably more effective in achieving its aims https://t.co/lsFAEz9NN1

Happy Posie is a beautiful social butterfly and is still looking for her forever home! This affectionate girl loves exploring out on her walks & making new four legged friends. She has so much love to give & deserves all of it back too💛

Tomorrow @RishiSunak will launch an all out attack on the right to strike.

RT if you stand with every single union that chooses to make a stand and fight on behalf of their members.

It’s time to pick a side.

Thank god.

NEW: conservatives have a Millennials problem.

In both UK & US, it’s not just that Millennials aren’t voting conservative because they’re young.

Every previous generation grew more conservative with age, but Millennials are not playing ball.

Hard same. It's insulting to suggest any households without kids are not families.

[Cara Lisette @CaraLisette]

I really dislike the phrase ‘start a family’ when people are talking about having children. Children don’t make somebody a family. Me and my boyfriend and our pets are a family. Best friends in a house share can be a family. Siblings living in flat are a family.

[David Butt Philip @DavidButtPhilip]

The language of the whole debate around @E_N_O is infuriatingly euphemistic & misleading, so let’s clear a couple of things up. When funding bodies & officials talk about opera needing to “change” or “adapt”, what they mean is “become smaller, cheaper & less frequent”.🧵

During the phone call, which took place while the couple were both married to other people, then-Prince Charles told Camilla he wanted to be reincarnated as a tampon so he could "live inside" her.
