Disney wants all the other streaming services to know they’re coming and they’re ready to steal away your subscribers. Yesterday Disney spent 3 hours tweeting out every TV show and movie that will be on Disney+ when it launches in November. They tweeted titles chronologically by their release dates, from 1937’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, up to their new “Star Wars” show “The Mandalorian”. The Twitter thread was 629 entries long and ended by saying “We did that. And the announcements aren’t even over yet. Stay tuned.” I wonder how Netflix is feeling right now…
Basically everything coming to @DisneyPlus on November 12: https://t.co/9yizC0vDNL #DisneyPlus pic.twitter.com/BWS8wBl5SU

I’ve been terrible in our Pro Football Challenge, so maybe I should start looking to the Pope for help when choosing who is going to win. On Sunday, Pope Francis tweeted some love towards 5 new saints but he added a hashtag to the word saints which automatically added a New Orleans Saints emoji to his tweet. The Saints ended up beating the Jaguars later that day. The Saints tweeted after the game: “Couldn’t lose after this. #Blessed and highly favored”
If you’re all about that haunted house life, then you might want to visit North Dakota. A study by Brandwatch found that North Dakota is the Most Haunted State. They looked at a bunch of tweets and North Dakota had the most reports of ghost sightings or claims that a house,room,hall, or school was haunted.
