As a fan, I still want Pete Alonso to return to the Mets It is arguably not the shrewdest baseball decision, but I contend a reunion between the Mets and Alonso is the best move for both sides.

Samsung, Please Spare Me Gemini's Photography Tips Commentary: Does an AI really know what makes good photos or art? Samsung's Galaxy S25 series with Gemini Live certainly thinks so. I'm not sold.
