Here's what's happening in pop culture:

• As a reflection of just how terrible 2016 has been, Time has picked President-elect Donald Trump as its Person of the Year. At least this time he came in first in the popular vote. [Time magazine]

• The Weather Channel is telling Breitbart News to quit using the channel's own video to propagate climate-change denial. Meteorologist Kait Parker said on-air: "Here's the thing: Science doesn't care about your opinion. Cherry-picking and twisting the facts — note fact, not opinion — does not change that the Earth is warming." [Vulture]

• Cartoon Network's Adult Swim has cancelled "Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace" — a show that has been closely linked to the white-nationalist "alt-right" movement. [The Huffington Post]
