Fury after White House uses Defying Gravity to promote the work of ICE on TikTok

The White House's official TikTok, which was launched by the administration in August despite lawmakers' concerns that the app's Chinese owners represent a national security risk, shared a video over the weekend using Cythnia Erivo's Wicked 'war cry' "Defying Gravity" alongside distressing images and videos of people being detained. Text reading: "Ahh that deportation feeling..." was overlaid on a scene of Donald Trump smiling and walking in slow-mo through the White House, before shifting to clips of ICE officers handcuffing and chasing people down.

Met Office issues an amber weather warning for snow - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

Cold Arctic air from the north is firmly in charge of the UK's weather, bringing the first notable cold snap of this autumn and giving an early taste of winter weather. As a result, winter hazards are likely through the next few days, with snow and ice a particular hazard, and the coldest conditions likely on Wednesday and Thursday. Wintry showers will affect areas exposed to the brisk northerly wind, in particular Northern Ireland, southwest Wales, southwest England, northeast England and across the northern half of Scotland.

The Addition That's Common In American Beverages But Almost Nonexistent In Europe - Tasting Table

Entrepreneur Frederick Tudor started sending ice from American bodies of water all around the world in the 1800s. It was seen as a luxury to be able to afford and cool or preserve your food and beverages with ice. When Tudor still had leftover ice from his export business, he'd give it to American taverns, who popped chunks of it into drinks. People loved how refreshing those chilly drinks were, and then wanted to buy ice from Tudor - a genius marketing plan.
