Baby Yoda continues to take the internet by storm and this week's avalanche of adorableness involves the young alien, from Episode 4 of The Mandalorian, casually sipping a hot cup of bone broth while "Mando" (Pedro Pascal) and ex-rebel shock trooper Cara Dune (Gina Carano) duke it out.As one could easily assume, Twitter went crazy over the kid's soup n' stare, with some instantly labeling it the new "Kermit Sipping the Tea" meme...

Thousands of fans of SLAYER fans witnessed the band's last-ever concert at The Forum in Inglewood, California on Saturday night (November 30) during the second of two last tour dates dubbed "The Final Campaign".
At the conclusion of SLAYER's set, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya addressed the crowd, thanking the group's fans for supporting him and his bandmates for nearly four decades.
"Thank you. Thank you very much," he said. "I want to thank you for sharing your time with us. Time is precious. So I thank you for sharing that time with us. Thank you. I'm gonna miss you guys. But the most important thing I want to thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you. Good night. You guys be safe."
The setlist for the show was as follows:
01. South Of Heaven 02. Repentless 03. Postmortem 04. World Painted Blood 05. Hate Worldwide 06. War Ensemble 07. Stain Of Mind 08. Disciple 09. When The Stillness Comes 10. Born Of Fire 11. Payback 12. Seasons In The Abyss 13. Jesus Saves 14. Chemical Warfare 15. Hell Awaits 16. Dead Skin Mask 17. Show No Mercy 18. Raining Blood 19. Mandatory Suicide 20. Angel Of Death
SLAYER's final world tour began on May 10, 2018 with the band's intention to play as many places as possible, to make it easy for the fans to see one last SLAYER show and say goodbye. By the time the 18-month trek wrapped at the Forum, the band had completed seven tour legs plus a series of one-off major summer festivals, performing more than 140 shows in 30 countries and 40 U.S. states.
SLAYER's final world tour has been a wild ride. Three bus drivers, four truck drivers, and a crew of 32 have traveled all over the world to set the stage for this farewell. At most shows, SLAYER's pyro expert set off 160 pounds of propane and 10 liters of 99% isopropyl alcohol, prompting the Phoenix New Times reviewer to comment on the "eyebrow-singeing pyrotechnics that could be felt even 10 rows behind the pit." In Toronto, one diehard fan was ejected from the concert before SLAYER took the stage, so jumped into Lake Ontario (that surrounds the Budweiser Arena) and swam back to the venue. The Tampa Bay Times' Jay Cridlin wrote, "Beginning with the throttling opener 'Repentless', SLAYER tore through their set like a flaming cigarette boat across the river Styx, charring up a vicious circle pit by the stage," and Detroit's Gary Graff noted in his Oakland Press review the "10,000 headbangers who skipped the 'Game Of Thrones' finale to pay homage to the pioneering quartet." "The sheer physicality of their show was something to behold and was yet another indication that while the band may be calling it a career, they are going out on top, playing at their absolute best," wrote Andy Lindquist for the SF Sonic.
Araya talked about his possible retirement in a 2016 interview with Loudwire. He said: "At 35 years, it's time to collect my pension. [Laughs] This is a career move." He continued: "I'm grateful that we've been around for 35 years; that's a really long time. So, yeah, to me, it is. Because when we started off, everything was great, because you're young and invincible. And then there came a time where I became a family man, and I had a tough time flying back and forth. And now, at this stage, at the level we're at now, I can do that; I can fly home when I want to, on days off, and spend some time with my family, which is something I wasn't able to do when [my kids] were growing up. Now they're both older and mature. So now I take advantage of that." Araya added: "Yeah, it just gets harder and harder to come back out on the road. 35 years is a long time."
Tom also revealed another reason for his diminished enjoyment of the touring life. He said: "There's things that have gone on in my life that have made me change how I play as a bass player. I had neck surgery, so I can't headbang anymore. And that was a big part of what I enjoyed doing what I do — singing and headbanging. I liked knowing that I was one of the fucking badass headbangers. That played a big part. Now I just groove with the music, which is cool, because I'm grooving with the music and the feel of the songs, so that's changed a little for me."
SLAYER has been touring in support of its latest album, "Repentless", which was released in September 2015 via Nuclear Blast. That effort marked the band's first release since the death of SLAYER's co-founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman.
Hanneman contracted necrotizing fasciitis, also known as flesh-eating disease, in January 2011 from a spider bite in his backyard. The infection ravaged the flesh and tissues of Hanneman's arm, leading to numerous surgeries, skin grafts and intense periods of rehab that forced him into semi-retirement and left him near death at several points.
Hanneman eventually died in May 2013 from alcohol-related cirrhosis of the liver. He is credited for writing many of SLAYER's classic songs, including "Angel Of Death" and "South Of Heaven".
Original SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo was effectively fired from the band after sitting out the group's Australian tour in February/March 2013 due to a contract dispute with the other members of SLAYER. He has since been replaced by Paul Bostaph, who was previously SLAYER's drummer from 1992 until 2001 and recorded four albums with the band.

They came, they saw, they conquered. The mighty Slayer have concluded a legendary touring career, playing their final show last night (Nov. 30) at the Forum in Los Angeles.
Band mainstays Tom Araya and Kerry King, along with drummer Paul Bostaph and guitarist Gary Holt played a blistering set that started with "South of Heaven" and concluded with fan favorite "Angel of Death."
“Thank you. Thank you very much," stated Araya at the conclusion of the final song. "I want to thank you for sharing your time with us. Time is precious. So I thank you for sharing that time with us, thank you. I’m gonna miss you guys. But the most important thing I want to thank you for being a part of my life, thank you. Good night. You guys be safe.” Watch fan-filmed footage of the performance below.
The final set list consisted of 20 Slayer songs and aside from some movement of tracks, it didn't stray from the songs the band has been performing of late. Check out the set list below and come back later today for our gallery of photos from Slayer's final show ever.

Whatever you do, never tweet at a Pete Davidson comedy show. The “Saturday Night Live” cast member has recently been dolling out non-disclosure agreements before each of his recent comedy shows.
Most recently fans attending Davidson’s standup at the Sydney Goldstein Theater were asked to sign a lengthy contract that forbid them from tweeting or instagramming any opinions about the performance.
One attendee Stacy Young, originally discovered by Consequence of Sound, posted the alleged NDA on her facebook which stated: “the individual shall not give any interviews, offer any opinions or critiques, or otherwise participate by any means or in any form whatsoever (including by not limited to blogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, or any other social networking or other websites whether no existing or hereafter created.”
The fine for breaking said NDA was a whopping one million bucks, “In the event of breach of this agreement, individual shall pay company, upon demand, as liquidated damages, the sum of one million dollars, plus any out of pocket expense.”

Sources confirmed to Variety that Davidson’s NDA would again be handed out on Saturday prior to his show at Chicago’s Vic Theatre.
A spokesperson for the “SNL” star could not be reached for comment.
Cell phone bans are nothing new in world of modern day live performances. In May, Louis C.K. banned the use of phones at his comedy shows while Dave Chappelle and Madonna have also prohibited fans from sharing live materials without written consent.
Mama June didn't seem to be anywhere near reconciling and reuniting with her family for Thanksgiving -- but a silver lining might be that she is somewhat nearby ... and has money.
The troubled reality star -- who's been on a downward spiral since linking up with her BF, Geno -- was spotted out this week in McDonough, Georgia ... pulling out cash at an ATM just days before the holiday. She didn't look all too great though ... head low and disheveled.
It's interesting ... we're told June rolled up to a convenience store there in the city in a black SUV, in which she was riding passenger with Geno, we're told, riding in the back.
An eyewitness says June got out of the car, popped into the store to pull out cash ... and was back in her vehicle within minutes. Two things to note ... Mama June had somebody driving her and Geno around, but maybe more important ... they seem to have funds on hand.
WE tv
Either way, there's no sign of June's family getting back in the picture yet -- at least not permanently. As we've told you ... she's barely in touch with them these days, including with her own daughter, Honey Boo Boo ... this despite the fam's best efforts to reconnect.
We've been hearing that June's been bouncing around from hotel to hotel with Geno since unloading her Hampton, GA home earlier this year. So, if there's any good news to glean from this sighting, it's that she's still in the area and hasn't gone completely off the radar.
While we'd like to imagine a scenario where June went home for Thanksgiving, but something tells us it just didn't happen.
She often puts her family life in the public eye on social media.
But Chrissy Teigen didn't hold back after a troll tried to shame her for having hired domestic workers.
The 34-year-old model shared a photo on Friday featuring her chef, nanny and assistant, along with her two children, Luna, three, and Miles, one.

The photo featured the group gathered together under a canopy with picturesque hills in the distance.
'Grateful for people that make our dysfunctional house functional ❤️,' she gushed in the caption.
But one commenter was offended by her hiring domestic staff.
'AKA "thankful for my household staff of chefs and nannies,"' they replied.

Chrissy seemed unfazed as she responded: 'Literally just said that but you sure got me.'
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue star has been open before about how important having professional help has been to raising her family.
In September, she was asked on Twitter how she worked on her comedy reality show Bring The Funny while still raising two young children.
'@chrissyteigen Can you please talk about working while pregnant, shortly post-pregnancy and away from your babies?' asked writer and radio producer Rebecca Caroll in September.
Rude response: 'Grateful for people that make our dysfunctional house functional ❤️,' she gushed in the caption, before a troll replied, 'AKA "thankful for my household staff of chefs and nannies"'; shown November 9 with John Legend
Holding her own: Chrissy seemed unfazed as she responded: 'Literally just said that but you sure got me.' Earlier this week she shared a photo of her friends in pajamas decked out with her husband John Legend's Sexiest Man Alive cover
'I'm watching you on #BringTheFunny and you're so pro and engaged and focused, and I know your babies were/are small and wanting of you.'
The Lip Sync Battle host was open about what it took to have a high-profile career.
'I girl I have HELP and a half. That’s it,' she tweeted. 'There is no way I could have done it without it. I’m so lucky to have it and I don’t know how anyone else does it. I have so much respect for all of you. (also our amazing set provided an amazing daycare room).'
Chrissy shared another photo also featuring Bronwyn Reed and chef Paul Barbosa Jr.
She joined them in wearing a pair of custom-made pajamas adorned with her husband John Legend's Sexiest Man Alive cover from People magazine.
Can't do it alone: Chrissy has been open about needing help raising her family in order to maintain a busy career
In October, John and Chrissy revealed that she often worries about how much she features her children in her social media posts while speaking with Vanity Fair.
'She’s already thinking about what a hater might say,' he revealed.
'I know a lot of people who make the conscious decision to blur out their kids' faces,' Chrissy added. 'I worry, "What must they think of me?" They must think I’m insane.'
The social media star speculated her own reserved upbringing was the reason she loved to share online.
'I think I’m such an open person now because everyone in my family has always been so hush-hush,' she said. 'I love attention and affection. I want to be direct with everyone.'
