The Muppets, Again — Cautious Optimism by @dbooster

I'm a big fan of The Muppet Show, and this trailer really goes back to the originals! The problem is that you and I like it, but I suppose we aren't the main audience for it, at least not for pushing it out to be viral... I'm not sure how it will be accepted by kids nowadays...
I remember when my kid was 4-5 years old, I downloaded a couple of seasons and played to him (and myself 😂)... We had a lot of fun watching it, but after seeing it 1-2 times, the feeling that I HAD (which I still have) faded out of him after a couple of days... Today, he does remember those days, but he will unlikely show it to his son one day...

10 Efforts Made to Move the Needle + A Power 🆙 by @alessandrawhite

Every time I see a unique post, I am amazed by this place! I suppose that's so hard to explain, or describe HIVE to "outsiders"... It's something different, something personal to everyone... For some, it's a place where they share their daily stuff, and others publish news about the topics they are passionate about... Some do posts as their personal diary, to have it written in the blockchain forever...
Some do it for the reason as you did it... For "therapeutic" reasons, to help themselves and keep themselves accountable, to see those small steps that make a difference on a larger scale, to check out the old posts and see how big a journey they made... In the end, to share their troubles with others and help them out, too!

Festive Season Ramps Up As Chinese New Year Approaches by @vaynard86

You wrote, "this year," which means that every year is different?
Btw. I had no idea that "photobooth" is also a nice way for photographers to earn some money... When you mentioned it, I thought it's like those booths where you enter, and create a series of photos (for IDs, or for teens to goof around 🙂)... But what you are doing makes so much sense, especially with providing some New Year gadgets to make photos memorable and festive... Very nice idea!

Beef chop stew with potatoes and leeks (Eng - Esp) by @belkyscabrera

An ideal recipe for now in winter. I know it never gets very cold there but it does here and I loved this meal for a warm lunchtime treat. It's all about ingredients that are easily available and within everyone's reach, very easy to prepare and as you mention, it has the necessary protein and looks very delicious.
I had to look up what celery was, the internet tells me it's celery, it gives it a nice saltiness and I agree I like the sauce to be thick. There are several options to go with this stew and I'm sure both children and adults will like it.

Black and White Photo Collection: Solemn Nature [ENG/ESP] by @carminasalazarte

I totally agree, in my case the photographs I liked the most were the first and the last one. The first one is excellent, the grey tonality plus the dew after the rain makes it very special, plus the close up with the blurred background. The last one has very marked contrasts and also looks like human nerves, that depth of the black makes the important thing stand out. But the whole composition is beautiful.
It's true, not all the photographs look good transforming them to black and white but in your case, this work has been very good, you had a great model, nature.
