"Beyond the Gates" Week 26 Review
Please forgive my lateness for this recap, because once again, CBS placed Beyond the Gates on yet another hiatus. While the end of August saw more new episodes, the beginning of September didn't. The first five days of September came and went, with no new episodes of Beyond the Gates. This is the third time we've seen a hiatus like this, and the soap's only been on for a hair over six months. I'll just say it: the hiatuses are racially motivated. Why is BTG being put on these random breaks, but Y&R and B&B run uninterrupted? CBS has been targeting any shows with representation for while now. Yes, BTG's getting another season, but still. There's only one good reason to pre-empt anything from CBS Daytime, and that's the beginning of March Madness. Other than that: run it!

The Rise of the Underdogs
M Mehran In the bustling corridors of Edison High, where football trophies glimmered and cheerleaders ruled the cafeteria, a different kind of hero was quietly shaping their world. They were the geeks—the kids with thick glasses, pocket protectors, and an uncanny knack for things that no one else cared to notice. To outsiders, they were invisible. To each other, they were unstoppable. At the heart of this group was Alex Mercer, a sixteen-year-old with a mop of curly hair and a hoodie perpetually covered in binary code. While others spent their evenings scrolling through social media or binge-watching the latest drama, Alex was building a homemade drone in his garage, coding a program that could predict traffic patterns, and secretly designing a video game that might just take the world by storm. Alex’s closest allies were equally extraordinary in their own peculiar ways. There was Samira, the quiet genius who could hack a system in minutes but preferred to spend her time designing intricate 3D-printed models. Then there was Leo, whose obsession with robotics had turned his bedroom into a miniature factory, complete with blinking lights and tiny mechanical arms assembling tiny gadgets. Together, they were a force of intellect and imagination—a trio destined to challenge the ordinary. Their story truly began with the announcement of the Edison High Innovation Fair, a competition that promised not just recognition, but the opportunity to have a project funded by a local tech startup. For most students, it was a casual event—a chance to show off a science project. But for Alex and his team, it was the moment they had been waiting for. “We need something big,” Alex said, pacing in the garage. “Something no one will see coming.” Samira adjusted her glasses, her mind already racing through possibilities. “What about an AI that can learn from mistakes in real-time? Not just any AI… something that can actually adapt like a human brain.” Leo’s eyes lit up. “And we can build a robot to interact with it! Imagine a bot that doesn’t just follow commands but actually thinks for itself.” Excitement sparked as they dove into their work. Days turned into nights, nights into weeks. Their garage became a lab, littered with wires, circuit boards, and half-eaten energy bars. They argued, debated, and sometimes nearly drove each other crazy—but every setback was a lesson, every failure a step closer to success. Outside their geek bubble, the world seemed indifferent. The popular kids mocked them in the hallways, calling their creations “toys” and “nerd nonsense.” Teachers occasionally shook their heads at the chaotic energy of the trio, unsure whether to admire their ingenuity or scold them for ignoring conventional assignments. But Alex, Samira, and Leo were undeterred. They knew something that the world had yet to understand: being a geek was not a weakness—it was power. Finally, the day of the Innovation Fair arrived. The school gymnasium buzzed with excitement. Students in crisp uniforms presented color-coded charts, tidy models, and carefully rehearsed speeches. And then, tucked away in the corner, the geeks unveiled their creation: EVE—an AI-powered robot capable of learning, interacting, and even improvising in real time. Its sleek design glimmered under the fluorescent lights, and its digital eyes followed visitors as they moved. A hush fell over the room as EVE performed tasks that seemed impossible for a high school project. It solved complex math problems, composed a short musical piece on the spot, and even held a basic conversation, understanding context and humor. Judges and spectators alike were stunned. For the first time, the geeks were no longer invisible—they were the center of attention. “What’s your secret?” one judge asked, leaning closer. Alex grinned, a little shy but proud. “Hard work, curiosity… and never letting anyone tell us what’s impossible.” By the end of the fair, it was clear who the winners were. Alex, Samira, and Leo stood on stage, medals around their necks, the cheers of their classmates washing over them. But more than the prize, more than the applause, they had gained something far more valuable: respect. The world had finally recognized that intelligence, creativity, and passion—though often misunderstood—were forces to be reckoned with. Back in the garage that evening, they celebrated not just their victory, but their journey. “Do you realize what this means?” Samira asked, eyes shining. “People actually believe in us now.” Leo chuckled. “Yeah… but tomorrow, we get to start on something even crazier.” Alex nodded, already sketching out ideas in his notebook. “Because being a geek isn’t just about winning fairs or making robots. It’s about dreaming bigger than anyone else and proving that imagination can change the world.” And so, the geeks of Edison High continued their quiet revolution. They weren’t the jocks or the cheerleaders, and they weren’t obsessed with fleeting popularity. They were the architects of the future, the dreamers who dared to see the world not as it was, but as it could be. In a world that often overlooked the quiet, the curious, and the clever, Alex and his friends proved one undeniable truth: geeks don’t just survive—they thrive. And sometimes, they even change everything.

Motivational messages from Billy Graham may be AI-generated
Do my ears deceive me? I saw a video on Facebook with an image of Evangelist Billy Graham. When I clicked on it, the voice sounded like Graham's, whom I had heard speak many times over five decades. As I continued to listen, I noticed the speech pattern seemed slightly artificial. There were no ebbs and flows or highs and lows. "Graham" also used phrases not utilized when he was traveling the world preaching.

Michael C. Hall, Dexter, and the Butterfly Crocs I Never Meant to Buy
