The United States Postal Service might have found a way to unite a nation bitterly divided after this month's election: It will release a Betty White stamp. The beloved actor known for roles in "The Golden Girls," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Boston Legal" and others will be on a 2025 Forever stamp, USPS announced this past week. White died in late December 2021 , less than three weeks before her 100th birthday. The Postal Service hasn't announced a release date for the stamp. Betty White speaks Sept. 17, 2018, at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Phil McCarten, Invision “An icon of American television, Betty White (1922–2021) shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades,” the Postal Service said in announcing the stamp, which depicts a smiling White based on a 2010 photograph by celebrity photographer Kwaku Alston . “The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals.” Boston-based artist Dale Stephanos created the digital illustration from Alston's photo.

Regardless of personal politics, self-proclaimed supporters of Republican President-elect Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris reacted with delight on social media. "Betty White was my hero, all of my life! I actually had a doll when I was a little girl I named Betty White," one Trump supporter posted on X , formerly Twitter. “Something to make this awful week a little better: We’re getting a Betty White stamp,” a pro-Harris X account posted. White combined a wholesome image with a flare for bawdy jokes . Her television career began in the early 1950s and exploded as she aged. “The only SNL host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party," Seth Meyers posted on Twitter after her death. "A party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.” Allen Ludden and his wife Betty White, who love to play games, continue a two year gin rummy battle in which she's ahead by a cumulative 6,000 points in Westchester, N.Y. on April 29, 1965.

Want to sample the world’s most expensive Michelin-starred tasting menu ? First, take off your shoes —and sit down on the floor. Guests hoping to dine at the one-star Ginza Kitafuku in Tokyo will have to adhere to house rules before paying $2,130 per head for the restaurant’s costliest meal — composed entirely of a kind of snow crab favored by Japan’s royal family and so revered it has its own museum. And even if you fancy yourself a shellfish-ionado, you’d better not be the squeamish type. At the elite seafoodery in the city’s tony shopping hub, patrons are treated to the sight of an expert-level chef butchering a best-in-class live animal right in front of them, just seconds before they eat. While you’ll have to avert your eyes to avoid the sight of a flailing, disembodied crab, there is some good news — those that can’t handle the traditional seating style can request the six-top in a separate room, presumably for less-flexible foreigners to feel more comfortable while enjoying the spectacle. One YouTuber called the dinner “by far one of the most incredible food experiences I have ever had,” despite struggling with the price point. Budget diners can snap up a $258 red king crab meal. That cheaper dinner still comes with a show. The out-of-the-ordinary restaurant takes the top spot on a new list compiled by food publication Chef’s Pencil , which pored over Michelin tasting menus around the world to pick the ten priciest, period, in 2024. The second most expensive is also in Asia — the three-starred Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet in Shanghai has a meal going for a whopping $1,230. The outlet called the restaurant a “a captivating fusion of gastronomy and cutting-edge visual technology” that provides a “theatrical, multi-sensory dining experience featuring meticulously crafted dishes that blend French techniques with global influences.” New York rings in at number three with the most expensive Michelin-tapped tasting menu in the United States, found at Caviar Russe on Madison Ave. Here, diners hoping for the “Tour of Caviar Russe” will pay $950 for 11, caviar-focused courses, which Forbes called an “over-the-top odyssey.” The Big Apple claimed the next slot on the list as well — Columbus Circle’s famously costly Masa was, according to Chef’s Pencil, the first in the United States to break $1,000 for a Michelin meal , including service charge and tip. For $950, Chef Masa Takayama will oversee the counter meal of your dreams, featuring truffles, Ossetra caviar and much more. At number five sits Tokyo’s tiny Azabu Kadowaki, a tiny counter joint with three Michelin stars. Despite the city’s significant representation in the top 10, a visit can be more affordable than many Americans will assume, and now more than ever, thanks to favorable exchange rates . San Francisco’s Quince was the only US restaurant besides the two in New York to make the list of fifteen, which also included the likes of Guy Savoy in Paris and Alchemist in Copenhagen.What happens when 'The Simpsons' join 'Monday Night Football'?
