At 83, Vietnam veteran Shaun Byrnes was planning to be interned at Arlington National Cemetery when he died. But now Byrnes tells me he’s reconsidering due to President Trump’s push for a triumphal arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington. He and two other veterans are suing to try and stop the arch from being constructed: specne.ws/hK4Ec6
Great Scott! Today we are officially celebrating 65 years of a true Hollywood titan, a pop culture icon, and an absolute inspiration: the legendary Michael J. Fox! Looking at this incredible artwork, it’s impossible not to get hit with a massive wave of 80s and 90s nostalgia. From the neon lights to the unforgettable characters, he didn't just star in the definitive movies and shows of a generation—he gave them their heartbeat. Michael J. Fox has always possessed a completely unique, infectious appeal. He mastered the art of the charming, fast-talking, relatable underdog. Whether he was playing a high schooler out of his depth or a sharp-witted professional, he brought an unmatched kinetic energy, effortless wit, and deep sincerity to every single frame. Let's talk about these incredible characters: Marty McFly (Back to the Future): The ultimate time-traveling, guitar-shredding teenager. The red vest, the DeLorean, the sheer panic of trying to save his own existence—Marty is easily his most popular, universally loved, and culturally definitive role. It’s a flawless performance that still feels just as fresh and magical today as it did in 1985. Alex P. Keaton (Family Ties): The role that started it all! Fox took a briefcase-carrying, Young Republican teenager and somehow made him completely endearing, hilarious, and the absolute focal point of a massive hit sitcom. Scott Howard (Teen Wolf): Who else could turn becoming a hairy, howling werewolf into the ultimate high school popularity hack? He made surfing on top of a delivery van and dominating the basketball court look like the coolest thing ever. But as incredible as his acting resume is—including brilliant runs in Spin City, The Secret of My Success, and The Good Wife—his greatest legacy isn't behind a camera. The tagline on the tribute says it best: "The past, the present, and the future... he mastered them all. Still our hero." For decades, his fierce optimism, grace, and relentless advocacy through the Michael J. Fox Foundation have changed the world. He has shown us what true courage looks like, facing life's toughest challenges with a smile and an unbreakable spirit. Happy 65th Birthday, Michael J. Fox. Thank you for the memories, the laughs, and the lifelong inspiration. You will always be a legend. What is your absolute favorite Michael J. Fox movie or moment?
