Succeeding this year’s selection of a semi-optimistic Peach Fuzz, Mocha Mousse is exactly what it says it is — a light, sweet, creamy brown with a warm undertone. This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of brown for the distinction, not counting the earthy reddish-brown Marsala of 2015. As it tends to happen with matters of personal taste, Pantone’s Color of the Year (and occasional tandem picks) has been contentious since its inception in 2000, even sparking an online conspiracy theory about the selection process last year. Today alone, people have been coming out in droves to express their deep-seated hatred for or utter confusion about Mocha Mousse in various comments sections . USA Today even insinuated that Brat green had been snubbed in favor if the more “demure” milk chocolate tone. Pantone maintains that it selects the annual color based on world events, attitudes, and trends. This year, the institute’s Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman explained in a press statement that Mocha Mousse “expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,” calling the color “sophisticated and lush” as well as an “unpretentious classic.” Get the latest art news, reviews and opinions from Hyperallergic. Daily Weekly Opportunities I’m not one for following trends in luxury goods, fashion, cosmetics, or home goods by any means, so I can’t really opine on how Mocha Mousse is slated to impact the consumer market in any way whatsoever — nor do I really care that much in the first place. I do, however, find it a bit odd if not side-eye worthy that so many people can’t fathom looking at a shade of brown without likening it to poop. In my mind’s eye, Mocha Mousse brings about the softness of a plush teddybear. A silky, creamy Dunkin’ hot chocolate (born and bred Masshole here). A velvety suede on a favored pair of boots. The frothy frosting that fuses layers of chocolate cake together. The mushy organic clay taken from riverbanks to siphon impurities from our skin in face masks. The highlights on the fuzzy feathers of beloved Kiwi birds. And quite frankly, Mocha Mousse runs a little bit more personal for me as both a color and a name. Since I have the opportunity to pontificate in my own thinkpiece, I’ll say that I’ve been wearing foundations, eyeshadows, concealers, lipsticks, and even nail polishes in similar shades of “Mocha,” “Chocolate,” “Cocoa,” “Cappuccino,” and other decadent drink or dessert titles for over a decade now. Those are the titles cosmetic brands have assigned to my skin color and the shades closest to it. I’m well-aware of the politics of objectification , fetishization , and consumption that surround these names, but if I have to be objectified, I much prefer being likened to a sweet treat over having my skin tone called “shit brown,” “diarrhea brown,” or “dirt” — all of which I’ve been faced with throughout my life. Dirt or excrement might be brown, but not all browns can be compared to dirt or excrement. Urine is (hopefully) yellow, but do you point at a buttercup or taxicab and wrinkle your nose? Blood and scabs are red ... Hell, Pantone even developed its own “ Period Red ” (it’s just plain red) in acknowledgement of the stigma surrounding menstruation. But do you look at red velvet cake or rose petals and shudder a little bit? I get that it’s not that serious, but I am always unfortunately attuned to the manner in which people respond to the color brown being that I wake up and look in the mirror every day as a Perpetually Offended Brown PersonTM. The only thing I find egregious about this year’s color campaign is the supporting AI-generated imagery for Mocha Mousse, which is inexplicably but profoundly sinister in a way I cannot easily find words for. I guess you could say I just don’t like that shit ... 🤷🏾‍♀️ We hope you enjoyed this article!

The National Football League is enjoying strong viewership for the 2024 season with some records set on Thanksgiving Day, news that streaming giant Netflix Inc NFLX likely welcomes as the company may be nervous after struggles with its live boxing event. What Happened: While many people will be opening presents and enjoying time with families on Christmas Day, many will also tune into Netflix for two exclusive NFL games , similar to how they celebrated on Thanksgiving. Netflix will stream its first-ever live NFL games on Christmas with two key matchups that could once again highlight the streaming giant's growth in sports. At 1 p.m. ET, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs game will stream on Netflix, followed by the 4:30 p.m. ET matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. NFL viewership has been good for the 2024 season, which could be good and bad for Netflix as the company struggled during its recent live boxing event that featured a headline match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Netflix reported that over 60 million homes tuned into the boxing event, with a peak of 65 million. That event saw hundreds of thousands of people report issues with the stream and a class action lawsuit filed against the company. The NFL recently reported the three games that aired on Thanksgiving set a new all-time record, with data dating back to 1988. The three games had 141 million viewers, a new record and an average of 34.2 million viewers per game, another record. The early game between the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears on CBS, a unit of Paramount Global PARA PARAA , set a record with 37.5 million viewers, the highest average for the early Thanksgiving Day game. The midday game between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants on FOX, a unit of Fox Corp FOX FOXA , averaged 38.8 million viewers, making it the fourth most watched Thanksgiving Day game ever and fifth most watched regular season NFL game ever. Read Also: Netflix To Become ‘Default Choice’ For TV, Movies? Analyst Predicts More Live Sports, Price Increases Why It's Important: Thanksgiving Day games have long been highly watched given the event-driven nature of the games on a holiday with people off work and watching games together. This could be similar on Christmas, which means Netflix could be in store for high viewership for its inaugural NFL games. For comparison, Amazon.com Inc AMZN has the exclusive streaming rights to Thursday Night Football games and is averaging 13.3 million viewers for those games this season, up 8% year-over-year. Amazon also streamed an exclusive game on Black Friday for the second straight year. The matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs averaged 13.51 million viewers, up 41% year-over-year. The high viewership, which is above Amazon's average, came with a close battle and the Chiefs surviving a last-minute push from the Raiders. The Chiefs are the most-watched NFL team this season, having some of the more popular games and the highest average across national television games. For Netflix the odds are likely stacked for and against the company to have huge viewership, the big question is if the company can handle the demand and show the games without the same troubles it had during the boxing event. The Chiefs (11-1), Steelers (9-3), Ravens (8-5) and Texans (8-5) are among the best teams in the NFL with each team ranking first or second in their division and all four teams currently in the NFL Playoffs if the season ended today. The Texans game will also feature a halftime performance from Beyoncé , adding in potential non-football fan viewership on the holiday. Add it all up and you have two games with top NFL teams, a holiday where people watch sports together, a halftime performance from a global superstar, a game with the top-watched team in the NFL and the potential of Taylor Swift to be present at the Chiefs game and you have must-see television and sports. NFLX Price Action : Netflix stock closed up 0.75% to $917.87 on Thursday after hitting new all-time highs of $927 during the intraday. Netflix stock is up 96% year-to-date in 2024.

The president welcomed 2,500 guests under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom.” He also sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency. Separately, first lady Jill Biden received the delivery of the official White House Christmas tree. And the Bidens are traveling to New York later Monday for an early holiday celebration with members of the Coast Guard. Formula 1 expands grid to add General Motors' Cadillac brand and new American team for 2026 season LAS VEGAS (AP) — Formula 1 will expand the grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors. The approval ends years of wrangling that launched a federal investigation into why Colorado-based Liberty Media, would not approve the team initially started by Michael Andretti, who has since stepped aside. The 11th team will be called Cadillac F1 and be run by new Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter. The team will use Ferrari engines its first two years until GM has a Cadillac engine built for competition in time for the 2028 season. US goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher is retiring from international soccer U.S. women’s national team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher is retiring from international soccer. Naeher is on the team’s roster for a pair of upcoming matches in Europe but those will be her last after a full 11 years playing for the United States. Naeher was on the U.S. team that won the Women’s World Cup in 2019 and the gold medal at this year's Olympics in France. She’s the only U.S. goalkeeper to earn a shutout in both a World Cup and an Olympic final. Bah, humbug! Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a pilot and at least one dog he was transporting died when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, though a puppy on the flight was found alive with two broken legs. The Greene County sheriff’s office says Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia, was flying from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in a remote area. Officials believe the pilot died from the impact. The surviving dog was hospitalized, while a third dog was not located. The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by handing out more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations Monday, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006. Pop star Ed Sheeran apologizes to Man United boss Ruben Amorim for crashing interview MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British pop star Ed Sheeran has apologized to Ruben Amorim after inadvertently interrupting the new Manchester United head coach during a live television interview. Amorim was talking on Sky Sports after United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday when Sheeran walked up to embrace analyst Jamie Redknapp. The interview was paused before Redknapp told the pop star to “come and say hello in a minute.” Sheeran is a lifelong Ipswich fan and holds a minority stake in the club. He was pictured celebrating after Omari Hutchinson’s equalizing goal in the game at Portman Road. A desert oasis outside of Dubai draws a new caravan: A family of rodents from Argentina AL QUDRA LAKES, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A desert oasis hidden away in the dunes in the far reaches of skyscraper-studded Dubai has drawn a surprising new set of weary world travelers: a pack of Argentinian rodents. A number of Patagonian mara, a rabbit-like mammal with long legs, big ears and a body like a hoofed animal, now roam the grounds of Al Qudra Lakes, typically home to gazelle and other desert creatures of the United Arab Emirates. How they got there remains a mystery in the UAE, a country where exotic animals have ended up in the private homes and farms of the wealthy. But the pack appears to be thriving there and likely have survived several years already in a network of warrens among the dunes.
