In the U.S., men are responsible for 90% of all homicides. This statistic has remained consistent for decades, across regions and demographics. It’s not a popular topic because it challenges how we talk about crime, gender, and responsibility. But ignoring it serves no one. It’s not enough to say men commit more murders. We should ask why. One reason often cited is biology. Testosterone is linked to dominance, impulsivity, and aggression—traits that can make violent behavior more likely in some men. Research shows that elevated testosterone levels don’t directly cause violence, but they can increase risk factors. Still, biology doesn’t tell the whole story. Most men have normal testosterone levels and don’t kill anyone. Cultural expectations also play a role. From early childhood, boys are taught to be tough, not to cry, and to fight back when disrespected. Power and control are often seen as male virtues. In the wrong conditions—poverty, broken families, lack of education—those lesson...

Large language models, often called LLMs, are a type of computer program that can understand and create human language. They are built using complex computer networks that learn from extensive amounts of text data. Think of it this way: these models read an enormous number of books, articles, and websites, and through this process, they learn patterns in language, grammar, and even facts about the world. This allows them to respond to questions, write stories, or even summarize information in a way that sounds natural and intelligent. The foundation of LLMs lies in something called deep learning, a branch of artificial intelligence. These models are not explicitly programmed with rules for language. Instead, they learn by finding connections and relationships within the data they are trained on. For example, if an LLM reads millions of sentences where the word "dog" appears near "bark" or "fetch," it starts to associate these words. This learning process i...

In the Line of Fire (1993)   is a thriller directed by Wolfgang Petersen and written by Jeff Maguire. The film centers on Frank Horrigan (played by Clint Eastwood), a Secret Service agent haunted by his failure to protect JFK during his assassination. Decades later, Horrigan finds himself in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with Mitch Leary (played splendidly by John Malkovich), a brilliant and psychopathic former CIA operative who is threatening to assassinate the current President. Horrigan and his partner, Lily Raines (Rene Russo), race against time to uncover Leary's plan and stop him. The main themes include redemption, duty, and the burden of past failures. The film received three Oscar nominations: Best Supporting Actor for John Malkovich, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing.
