Here’s what I’m reading up on this morning: 

• Former VP Dick Cheney says the torture report, whose details he admits he doesn’t "know anything about," is "full of crap."

• Meanwhile, people in the Middle East aren’t terribly surprised when it comes to the torture report. 

• TIME’s Person of the Year: doctors and nurses fighting Ebola. 

• It’s over. Authorities in Hong Kong clear out all remaining student protesters off the street. 

• USAid paid Creative Associates International to infiltrate Cuba’s hop-hop scene in order to foment a youth counter-revolution. 

• Jobless claims are down once again. 

• You can now use BitCoin on Microsoft accounts. 

• The Golden Globes nominations are out (and "Selma’s" all over it!). 

• Meet Aquilops Americanus, the cutest, oldest horned-tooth dino that’s the size of a bunny.
