What a man. I bought a house in LA in 2020 that had been Patrick Stewart’s just before. He turned up one day to check for mail (there was some) and showed us around our own house. “This is the best place to sit in the morning. You want to sit in this bit of the garden at 5 pm?” We spoke about Star Trek, which he called “TNG.” I didn’t mention I’d been obsessed with it as a teen, but a frisson of excitement vibrated through me. I didn’t like him because he did that (although I did). I liked him because he was Patrick Stewart and Jean-Luc Picard. What a man.
What a loss. What a man.

Once at the Pro Bowl a group of us wanted to get into a popular restaurant. No way, they said. Too busy and overbooked. An assistant who worked for June at Hawaii called back and asked to make a reservation for June Jones. No prob. Seven of us were seated. The owner, GM and chef came out wanting to meet Coach Jones. June was never coming cause he had something else to do. When the owner started to get impatient waiting for Coach Jones, June’s assistant said he just got a call from June saying he couldn’t make it cause a 5-Star QB from LA was coming a day early for a visit. That ruse worked to perfection. I pulled that off several times in Hawaii, making a reservation under June’s name and then apologizing for him having to pick up a hotshot recruit. Worked ever time. June was so popular in Hawaii.

This is a black stain on the Eagles organization that Jalen Hurts was not only allowed to play, but boarded an international flight to London to play a football game.
How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

4 teams was plenty. 24 teams is ridiculous. The beauty of college football was every game, every week mattered. Now it doesn’t. Playoff expansion has ruined college football.
Breaking: The College Football Playoff is nearing a deal to expand to 24 teams, sources tell @PeteThamel. The new format will start in 2027 and is expected to come together in the near future, pending final approvals.

🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for. That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations. So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."
