We might be a little biased, but Billboard firmly believes music is the best part of the holiday season every year. That includes songs from all time periods, and certainly some of the Christmas canon’s oldest classics — think Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” and Andy Williams’ “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Premiere artists of the latter half of the 20th century have also offered up a number of beloved contemporary carols, with special mentions spanning Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime,” Wham!’s “Last Christmas” and, of course, Mariah Carey’s incomparable “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” But with all due respect to the iconic pre-Y2K tracks that have won us over in decades past, the 2000s are also brimming with holiday musical excellence. Some of the best Christmas tracks of the 21st century are hidden gems, some of them are Billboard chart-toppers and some of them are already well on their way to becoming cross-generational classics joining the ranks of the tracks listed above — but all of them demonstrate that celebrating the best time of year through songwriting is a timeless art. From uptempo bangers from Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber that shoot holiday adrenaline through shopping-mall speakers each year to more understated tracks from Sufjan Stevens, Norah Jones and Colbie Caillat that capture the versatile beauty of the season, the past quarter-century or so has tied bows on numerous Christmas stand-outs.

Punjab Govt Should Not Misuse Police, Stand With Us: Farmer Leader'Absurd' US claims on Pak missile programme

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy was the sole “star campaigner’ from Telangana in a list of 40 such campaigners for the Congress in Maharashtra, but his claims of having implemented promises made to people in Telangana apparently failed to convince voters in Maharashtra, with the Congress performing pathetically in nine of 10 constituencies that Revanth Reddy campaigned in. Most strikingly, Revanth Reddy had held road shows and participated in public meetings in constituencies that have a substantial Telugu speaking population. These included Chandrapur, Solapur Central, Naigaon, Digras, Bhokar, Nagpur Central, Rajura, Wardha and Kadegaon, most of which were in close proximity with the Telangana border. In eight of these, the BJP was leading in seven, while the Shiv Sena was leading in one. Apparently, though the final results were yet to be announced officially, the trend reflected the complete lack of confidence among people on the words of Revanth Reddy and in the Congress party’s guarantees announced in Maharashtra. At Digras, even former AICC Telangana incharge Manikrao Thakare was also (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); trailing, indicating the impact of Chief Minister’s campaign. Political analysts pointed out that even as farmers were staging protests over the Telangana government’s failure in implementing the crop loan waiver, Revanth Reddy had claimed at a meeting in Rajura constituency that within 25 days of Congress government coming to power, Rs.18,000 crore was spent to waive loans of 22 lakh farmers. At Chandrapur, Revanth Reddy had told the voters that if they elected Congress candidate Pravin Padwekar from Chandrapur, they would have one brother to look after them in Chandrapur, and the second in Hyderabad. Padwekar, however, lost. Apart from his assurances on guarantees, the Chief Minister’s theory that it was only a battle between Congress and BJP, with there being no ‘regional parties’. That too apparently did not win the people’s confidence. Taking a dig at the Chief Minister, BRS leader Manne Krishank said on X: “Congress arrogant Chief Minister said there are no regional parties. Did the Congress score better than regional parties in Maharashtra?”New Orleans Police say 3 shot, 1 killed in French QuarterStran & Company Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Staff Delisting Determination
By Conor Ryan Fabian Lysell was bracing himself for another bus ride over to Hartford on Saturday morning. Such is the usual weekend itinerary for players honing their craft in the AHL. But the Bruins had other plans for their top prospect. Hours ahead of puck drop between Boston and the Blue Jackets, the Bruins made the call to bring up Lysell from Providence. After 136 regular-season games spent in Providence across three seasons, Lysell finally earned his shot up at hockey’s highest level. “Crazy, crazy how fast things can happen,” Lysell said after Boston’s 4-0 win over Columbus. I woke up (Saturday) morning, didn’t think of this, and then you get a call and you’re up here so it’s just unbelievable and definitely special for me and my family and everybody that’s helped me along the way.” 🎥 Fabian Lysell on his NHL debut: "Crazy how fast things can happen. I woke up this morning, didn't think of this. Then you get a call and you're up here. It's just unbelievable. Definitely special for me and my family." Watch full postgame reaction ➡️ https://t.co/Lre0GaP0H9 pic.twitter.com/6See0n8CWl With the Bruins in desperate need of a scoring spark, a player with Lysell’s playmaking prowess and wheels served as an appealing addition — especially on a bottom-six unit hindered with far too many passengers as of late between Trent Frederic, Oliver Wahlstrom, and others. Even though he didn’t land on the scoresheet, Lysell made his presence felt in Boston’s bounce-back win — helping to set up Justin Brazeau’s opening tally just 2:29 into the contest. Replacing Wahlstrom on a line with Frederic and Brazeau, Lysell’s skating ability helped set up a fortuitous O-zone shift for Boston’s forward grouping. After Brazeau chipped a puck past a pair of Columbus skaters, Lysell turned on the afterburners, slipping past both players and recovering the puck in the Blue Jackets’ zone. After protecting the puck down low, Lysell handed the biscuit back to Brazeau — who jumpstarted a low-to-high play with both Brandon Carlo and Mason Lohrei that ended with Brazeau knocking a rebound into twine for an early lead. Fabian Lysell first NHL Shift and Justin Brazeau give the #NHLBruins a 1-0 lead pic.twitter.com/a7cW7bgKGw Lysell’s first shift as a Bruin didn’t led to a secondary assist, but the 21-year-old winger did the necessary legwork to get Boston’s stagnant offense rolling. “I thought he handled himself well. It’s obviously an exciting night for him, his family. He was on the ice for the first goal, which is always a good feeling,” interim coach Joe Sacco said of Lysell’s night. “And then, he did some good things. He was very responsible. He was trying to be very responsible away from the puck. “You could see he was making a conscious effort to be good without the puck, and those are the things that he needs to continue to build into his game. But I thought that he handled himself fine here tonight for his first game.” It was far from a perfect night from Lysell, who registered zero shots on goal over 11:32 of ice time. He was even bumped off the third line over the final period of play in favor of Cole Koepke, who tallied his sixth goal of the season in the win. But considering just how listless Boston’s previous third-line combination of Brazeau-Frederic-Wahlstrom had been over the past week, Lysell injected some much-needed pace and skill into an underachieving segment of the roster. Over 20:22 of 5-on-5 reps this season , the Brazeau-Frederic-Wahlstrom line has been outshot, 9-2, and outscored, 1-0. “There wasn’t really a person who could carry the play through the neutral zone between the blue lines,” Sacco said pregame of that third line. “Maybe that’s something that Fabian can add here tonight with his speed and his ability to transport the puck through the blue lines. “That’s an opportunity there. There just wasn’t a lot happening with the three of those together. So obviously you have to make some changes and have to make some adjustments.” Saturday’s debut was a long time coming for Lysell, but the timing was welcome for the young forward. Lysell’s parents — Henrik and Maria — and sister, Frida, were already visiting from Sweden as part of their annual holiday visit to the U.S. to watch Fabian play for Providence. All three were in attendance for Saturday’s game at TD Garden. “My whole family’s here. They came down for Christmas and they were actually going to go home I think tomorrow so it turned out well. ... “That’s what it’s all about,” Lysell said of having his family in Boston for his debut. “They’ve been my biggest supporters throughout all the years I’ve been playing, and helping me with everything, driving me to the rink, cooking, all that stuff, late nights. So, it’s more so for them, honestly, than it is for me. It’s special.” Time will tell if the Bruins will give Lysell a chance to build upon his promising debut. Boston sent Lysell back down to Providence on Sunday afternoon, although it remains to be seen if it was more of a paper transaction to bank cap space or a planned roster reshuffle.

New York Attorney General Letitia James issues a warning to smartphone users about the rising dangers of text message scams and how to protect themselves. New York Attorney General Letitia James recently issued a consumer alert urging iPhone and Android users to be extra vigilant about text message scams, which have become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. This warning comes in the wake of a dramatic increase in “smishing” attacks, a form of phishing conducted through SMS messages. These attacks often aim to steal personal information, financial credentials, or install malware on victims’ devices. While smartphones have become essential tools for communication and daily life, this rise in malicious activity highlights the growing security risks associated with them. The Attorney General’s office emphasized the various tactics employed by scammers , including posing as legitimate organizations like banks, government agencies, or even family members. These messages often create a sense of urgency, pressuring individuals to act quickly and without thinking. They may claim that your account has been compromised, a package needs to be delivered urgently, or a loved one requires immediate assistance. This sense of urgency is a key tactic used to manipulate people into falling victim to these scams. The Growing Threat of Smishing Attacks Smishing attacks have evolved significantly in recent years. Early smishing attempts were often riddled with grammatical errors and easily identifiable as scams. However, cybercriminals have become more sophisticated, using convincing language, personalized information, and even spoofed phone numbers to appear legitimate. This makes it increasingly difficult for even tech-savvy individuals to discern real messages from fraudulent ones. The consequences of falling victim to these attacks can be severe, ranging from financial loss and identity theft to the compromise of sensitive personal data. In some cases, clicking on a malicious link in a smishing message can install malware on your device, giving attackers access to your contacts, photos, and even your location. How to Protect Yourself The Attorney General’s office has outlined several key steps individuals can take to protect themselves from smishing attacks: My Personal Experience I recently encountered a smishing attempt myself. I received a text message supposedly from my bank, alerting me to suspicious activity on my account and urging me to click on a link to verify my information. However, I noticed several red flags. Firstly, the message contained grammatical errors, which is unusual for official communications from a bank. Secondly, I had not received any prior notifications about suspicious activity through my bank’s official app or email. Instead of clicking on the link, I contacted my bank directly through their official phone number and confirmed that the message was indeed a scam. This experience reinforced the importance of remaining vigilant and taking the necessary precautions to protect myself from such attacks. The Role of Technology and Awareness While individuals need to take responsibility for their online safety, technology companies and wireless carriers also have a role to play in combating smishing attacks. Enhanced spam filters, AI-powered scam detection, and improved user education can significantly contribute to reducing the effectiveness of these scams. Furthermore, raising public awareness about the dangers of smishing is crucial. By educating users about the tactics employed by scammers and empowering them with the knowledge to protect themselves, we can collectively create a safer digital environment. As smartphones continue to evolve and become even more integrated into our lives, the threat of smishing and other mobile attacks is likely to persist. It is crucial for individuals, technology companies, and law enforcement agencies to work together to combat this growing threat. By staying informed, remaining vigilant, and adopting proactive security measures, we can minimize the risk of falling victim to these scams and safeguard our personal information in the digital age.AT&T, Verizon say networks now clear after Salt Typhoon hack

This collaboration aligns with our long-standing commitment to empowering technologies that promote freedom and challenge centralized systems, as demonstrated through our recent collaborations and initiatives. Rumble's dedication to fostering open communication and innovation makes them an ideal ally as we continue building the infrastructure for a more decentralized, inclusive future.
