My sincere year-end thought isn’t an original one, but its importance has been underscored to me repeatedly over the last 12 months: be free with telling the people you love that you love them, casually, and at every chance. Great love, small love, every type of love.

Was behind John Cena boarding an Alaska flight in Seattle. This was pre-Peacemaker, before he was a big movie star, so most people didn't notice him. We locked eyes, I gave him the kind of knowing nod you only see in movies & left him alone.
Then an older women approached him with a question... 1/2

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

AI-powered children’s toys have hit shelves, claiming to rely on sophisticated chatbots to animate interactive robots and stuffed animals that can converse with kids. NBC News' Kevin Collier, along with the Public Interest Research Group, tested AI toys for kids and asked each toy questions.
