🚗 Go for a Ride Day 🚲
Today is all about embracing the journey, whether it’s on four wheels, two wheels, or even on foot. Go for a Ride Day encourages us to break away from the daily grind and explore the world around us.
Here are a few ideas to celebrate:
🚴♀️ Take a scenic bike ride through a local park.
🚗 Hop in the car and head down a road you’ve never traveled before.
🛵 Dust off your scooter or motorcycle and enjoy the open air.
🚤 If you’re lucky enough to be near water, why not go for a ride on a boat?
🚶♂️ Don’t forget, walking counts too—your own two feet can take you to amazing places!
Wherever your adventure takes you, the point is to enjoy the freedom of movement and soak in the sights and sounds along the way. 🌍
Let us know—how will you celebrate Go for a Ride Day?

Today in 1958 Jim Henson took a bold step that would forever change the world of entertainment: he founded Muppets, Inc.. At the time, few could have imagined that this small company, dedicated to creating innovative and whimsical puppets would become a cultural phenomenon
From those humble beginnings, Muppets, Inc. grew into a creative powerhouse, producing iconic characters like Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Gonzo. By the time Sesame Street debuted in 1969, Henson’s Muppets were already beloved by millions of children and adults alike.
Here is a clip from our partner @itvarchive of Russell Harty interviewing Kermit & Miss Piggy in 1977

Celebrating Republic Day in Brazil
Today, November 15th, Brazil commemorates Republic Day (Dia da Proclamação da República), marking the historic transition from monarchy to a republic in 1889. This national holiday is a time to reflect on the values of democracy, freedom, and the progress of our nation.
On this day, 135 years ago, Brazil took a significant step forward as Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca led a bloodless coup that ended the reign of Emperor Dom Pedro II, establishing the First Brazilian Republic. The move symbolized the country’s desire for modernization and self-determination, aligning Brazil with the wave of republicanism sweeping across the Americas.
Republic Day is celebrated with parades, flag-raising ceremonies, and tributes to the nation’s rich history. It’s also a moment to honor the resilience of the Brazilian people and the leaders who envisioned a more democratic and inclusive future.
As we celebrate this important day, let us remember the importance of unity, diversity, and the ongoing effort to create a more just society for all Brazilians.
How are you commemorating Republic Day? Let’s celebrate together by sharing stories and reflections on what this day means to you!

Celebrating the Historic Opening of the Holland Tunnel! 🚗🌆
Today in history, November 13, 1927, the iconic Holland Tunnel officially opened to traffic, marking a major milestone in American engineering and urban planning. Spanning the Hudson River, the tunnel linked New York City to Jersey City, NJ, and became the first underwater vehicular tunnel in the United States—and one of the longest in the world at the time.

On this day, we pause to observe Armistice Day, the end of the First World War on November 11, 1918. Over a century ago, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, an armistice was signed to cease hostilities between the Allied forces and Germany. This moment in history not only symbolized the end of a devastating conflict but also marked a profound desire for peace after years of loss and suffering. Today reminds us to honor the millions of soldiers, medics, and civilians who sacrificed during the war, as well as to reflect on the enduring impact of conflict on societies and families around the world. Many of us observe a moment of silence at 11 a.m. to pay our respects and remember the resilience and bravery of those who came before us. In honoring their memories, we remind ourselves of the importance of working towards a world where such sacrifices are no longer necessary.Let us never forget the lessons of the past and remain grateful for the peace we have today. On this Armistice Day, may we all find a moment to reflect, remember, and renew our hope for a more peaceful future. Today we share footage of the Royal British Legion Field of Remembrance at National Memorial Arboretum #ArmisticeDay #remembranceday #leastweforget
