Gervais Slams Tone-Deaf Grammy Political Speeches

Comedian Ricky Gervais criticized celebrities who used their acceptance speeches at the Grammy Awards on Sunday to comment on political issues. Gervais referenced a segment from his 2020 Golden Globes monologue, where he rebuked Hollywood for self-absorption.

In a post on X, accompanied by an image of his past remarks, Gervais wrote, "They're still not listening." The original quote from his Golden Globes routine advised award recipients against using their platform for political speeches, stating, "You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg."

His comments followed instances at the Grammy Awards where several winners addressed political topics, including criticism of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Bad Bunny, upon receiving the Grammy for Best Música Urbana Album for "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOT," used his platform to protest immigration efforts.

Gervais's critique echoes a broader debate about the role of celebrities in political discourse. Some argue that celebrities have a responsibility to use their influence to raise awareness about important issues, while others believe they should refrain from injecting politics into entertainment. The debate touches upon the concept of "wokeness," a term often used to describe awareness of social injustices, which has become a focal point of cultural and political discussions.

The use of AI in journalism is increasingly prevalent, with algorithms now capable of generating news reports, summarizing information, and even detecting bias. This development raises questions about the future of journalism and the role of human reporters. While AI can enhance efficiency and accuracy, concerns remain about the potential for algorithmic bias and the importance of human judgment in news reporting. The incident involving Gervais's comments highlights the ongoing tension between entertainment, politics, and public perception, a dynamic that AI-driven news analysis will likely continue to dissect and report on.

Epstein Files Drop Amidst Killer Fungus & Quantum Leap!

Multiple news sources report on diverse developments: a Max Planck Institute discovery of *Beauveria bassiana* fungal strains combating bark beetles, concerns about political interference in NIH appointments, Asda's declining sales, and the unearthing of a massive archaeological collection from HS2 railway construction; additionally, cryo-EM structures revealed that Fab5 targeted a conservative and vulnerable epitope of gammaherpesvirus gB and antigenically exposed across pre- or post-fusion status. This finding not only demonstrates Fab5 as cross-genus antibody broadly reactive against gammaherpesvirus infection and pathogenesis progression, but offers insights into potential common mechanisms for herpesvirus infection and facilitates the development of broad-spectrum vaccines against the gammaherpesvirus.
