This season every Celtics player got a handwritten note from a former player who wore his number. Dillon Mitchell got one from Ray Allen. Mitchell Robinson got one from Isiah Thomas. More on "The Legends Project"... si.com/nba/celtics/onsi/insi…

Buccaneers beat Atlanta 16-0 without completing a pass. They are the first NFL team since the 1974 Buffalo Bills to win a game without completing a pass.

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

Geordi La Forge actor LeVar Burton pays tribute to his “Star Trek” co-star Patrick Stewart: “He was family. There is no other context in which to hold him that makes sense. I am lucky to have known and loved so many of the facets of a soul so rich in talent and generous of heart. Of all the Dames and Knights I’ve known he was deep down-the silliest.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/wil…

In honour of Sir Patrick Stewart’s passing, here are my top ten episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation: 1. The Inner Light (S5 Ep. 25) 2. Tapestry (S6 Ep. 15) 3. The Measure of a Man (S1 Ep. 9) 4. Darmok (S5 Ep. 2) 5. The Drumhead (S4 Ep. 21) 6. The Pegasus (S7 Ep. 12) 7. I, Borg (S5 Ep. 23) 8. Who Watches the Watchers (S3 Ep. 4) 9. Ensign Ro (S5 Ep. 3) 10. Cause and Effect (S5 Ep. 18) All are philosophically very interesting and most are carried by Stewart’s performance. I highly recommend them.

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.
