It also happens to be the place where Jim Henson created The Fraggles.

In short: we love it.
We also grew.

A lot.

We now have a 10+ team of engineers, developers, designers, product and content leads.

And as a tribute to Jim, we added this guy too. 🐸 A green kermit puppet sits ...Image

Something incredible just happened.

It’s a once in a lifetime event that saved someone’s life.

And it brings together some of the world’s best things —Hockey, science, and the power of social media.

A heartwarming Thread 🧵
This is Brian Hamilton.

He’s an equipment manager for the Vancouver @Canucks in the @NHL.

Being an equipment manager means you travel with the team, look after the players, and make sure they have whatever they need.

But one day in Seattle, it was Brian who needed something. Brian "Red" Hamil...
On October 23, Brian was behind the bench doing his job when a Seattle fan knocked on the glass behind him, trying to get his attention.

In hockey, you can’t hear through the glass, so the fan held up her phone with a message.

You can see her on the game’s video replay. Image

The world lost a legend today.

Here are six ways that Betty White proved she was the biggest legend around.

A thread 🧵 Betty white, wearing a light blue shirt
Early in her career, Betty was told she was too “unphotogenic” to make it in Hollywood.

She proved all her doubters wrong, landing a role in television.

She went on to win nearly thirty awards and land dozens more nominations over the next 60 years. A picture of young Betty white wearing a red dress
When Betty White fell in love with Allen Ludden, it was for life.

After he passed away when she was fifty nine, she never remarried. When asked why, she famously said “Once you’ve had the best, who needs the rest?” A black and white photo of Betty white and Allen Ludden

Let’s face it — it’s been a tough year.

But it’s also been filled with beautiful, amazing, heartwarming, kind, and heroic things that changed the world.

Here’s our mega-thread of this year’s most amazing stories.

It’s the thread we all need in our lives.
In Germany, a young boy with cancer used to love looking outside his window to watch the motorcycles drive by.

To surprise him, more than 20,000 bikers showed up for a parade down his street.

This is Joziah.

In April, his dad was killed in a car crash on his way to work as a detective.

His fellow officers didn't want Joziah to be alone on his first day of kindergarten.

So they did this.

This week at the Olympics, there’s a runner you’ve never heard of.

She’s from a place you haven’t been, and most people never will.

And yet – It’s the most heartwarming story you’ll read.

A thread 🧵
This is Rose Nathike Lokonyen.

She grew up in South Sudan.

When she was just 8, militants stormed into her village and killed her neighbors.

She ran barefoot, all night in the dark, just to make it to safety.

People in the neighboring village gave her family shelter, but only until they could make it to Kenya.

Again, they walked day and night to safety.

This was their new home.

The Kakuma Refugee Camp, one of the biggest in the world.
