The season 4 finale of Abbott Elementary was nearly flawless, but the show hasn’t fully embraced all the traditional elements of classic sitcoms. The first episode of season 5 put a welcome spotlight on the beloved character of Mr. Johnson, but the series has sometimes neglected other supporting characters, with the focus primarily on Janine, Gregory, and Ava.
Some genius on X (is that what the kids call it now?) claimed Eric predicted Ethereum would hit eight grand in just over a month. Classic crypto fairy tale. The post went viral faster than you can say “bubble,” forcing Eric to step in like a boss with a blunt “that’s not me.”

Barry Hertz’s new book, “Welcome to the Family,” tells the story of the Fast & Furious franchise, including details about the difficult making of Fast X. It shares what originally was planned for the sequel – like the villain Dante, played by Jason Momoa, gathering a team of Dom’s old enemies. However, the most surprising revelation (reported by IndieWire) is the reason why director Justin Lin unexpectedly left the project, leaving its future uncertain.
Sweeney responded to motion capture designer Matt Workman on X. Workman had argued on November 13th that Steam and other digital stores should remove the “Made with AI” label, stating it’s become pointless.

The film opens with a striking sequence that immediately showcases the beautiful visuals of this captivating thriller. Director Kleber Mendonça Filho and cinematographer Evgenia Alexandrova used classic PanaVision lenses and equipment to film “The Secret Agent,” giving it a wider, cinematic feel and a look reminiscent of 1970s films. But it’s more than just a stylistic nod; the camera work truly pulls you into the story’s lively world.
Vince Gilligan’s shows are known for taking their time, but it’s not simply about being slow. It’s a deliberate approach that builds tension and emphasizes the hard work and dedication of the characters. Think of the elaborate planning – like using a powerful magnet to steal evidence in Breaking Bad, the detailed practice of a robbery in Better Call Saul, or the painstaking gathering of evidence for a lawsuit against a retirement home chain in the same show. This careful, methodical approach is what allows an ordinary high school chemistry teacher to become a master meth cook, and a struggling law firm employee to earn a degree from a remote university.
Pope Leo offered students advice that went beyond just schoolwork. He urged them to use AI thoughtfully, warning that it shouldn’t hinder their personal development. He encouraged them to use AI in a way that they could still think for themselves, be creative, build real relationships, and act independently, even if AI were no longer available. He concluded by reminding them that AI can never replace the special qualities each of them brings to the world.
