Kenan Thompson is the longest-tenured cast member on Saturday Night Live, having been with the show for 19 seasons. Fans may recall him as a teen on All That, Kenan & Kel, and D2: The Mighty Ducks. Thompson is currently the show's oldest cast member. But the 43-year-old has no plans to leave, despite the fact that he is working on a number of other projects outside of SNL, including his NBC sitcom, Kenan. Kenan Thompson has been a member of the Saturday Night Live cast for 19 years. The audience expects a high turnover of cast members on a show like Saturday Night Live. This is because the show is frequently a watershed moment in a comedian's career. Once they've established themselves on the late-night sketch show, they frequently have to decide whether to stay or leave for film and television projects. Thompson, according to Rolling Stone, has decided not to make that decision. The Emmy-nominated comedian has been a fixture on Saturday Night Live for th...

TORONTO–The Philadelphia 76ers had a chance to sweep the Toronto Raptors and advance to Round 2 on Saturday, but they were unable to find a rhythm and were defeated 110-102 in Toronto. In Game 5, the series will return to Philadelphia. The Sixers lost their cool a little bit because they were upset with how the game was called. Philadelphia attempted 25 free throws to the Raptors' 35, and the Sixers were called for six more fouls. Coach Doc Rivers believed that his team would be unable to overcome the officiating in this game because they had allowed them to get inside their heads. Georges Niang fouled out after 22 minutes, Joel Embiid fouled out four times, and Tobias Harris fouled out five times. "Give them credit, they played hard and physical," Rivers said. "I thought we complained a little too much tonight" (Saturday). We just have to go play." Embiid was also called for a technical foul, as was Toronto's OG Anunoby, who got into a shoving match wi...

  With a 109-103 victory in Game 3 of their first-round series on Saturday, the Boston Celtics effectively ended the Brooklyn Nets' season. No team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series, and that is the situation the Nets are now in. This one is over, and I'm not sure I've ever witnessed a more impressive first-round performance. Without a doubt, the Nets are a flawed team. However, this is about as difficult a first-round matchup as a 2-seed will ever face. We're talking about a fully healthy Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving who can't find an inch of space against this Celtics defense. Durant only attempted 11 shots on Saturday and is shooting 36% with 17 turnovers in the series. Jayson Tatum is suffocating his space in isolation, and if Durant tries to put the ball on the floor, there's a second, if not two, defender collapsing on him to deflect passes or force him to stop in his tracks, pivot all over, and look for a bailout. To be...

  Fedora 36 may establish a new gold standard for Linux distributions. Throughout the years, I've declared various Linux distributions to be the de facto standard for new users. That honor has been bestowed upon Ubuntu Linux, Linux Mint, elementary OS, Zorin OS, and Deepin. But, with the beta release of Fedora 36, I'm beginning to believe that a major shift is about to occur, one that could easily place the title of "best distribution for new users" squarely on the head of an operating system that was previously reserved for users with extensive Linux experience. That's right, what was once labeled "bleeding edge" and "for experienced users only" has evolved into something quite unique and fantastic. In fact, Fedora has evolved into such an easy-to-use (and reliable) Linux distribution that I'm ready to declare it the new gold standard for Linux distributions.that's how impressive it is. GNOME Desktop Fedora desktop Now I realize I shou...

 After the Moon, humans hope to travel to Mars within the next decade. Scientists have more ambitious plans for the coming years, as countries race to return to the Moon and push towards Mars. Uranus and Saturn's Moon Enceladus have been identified as top exploration priorities in a new decadal survey looking at planetary science, astrobiology, and planetary defense over the next decade.  Scientists reveal the best chances for discovering life on other planets. Scientists have urged us to look for extraterrestrial life on Uranus and Enceladus. NASA should prioritize missions to Saturn's distant planet and moon, according to researchers in a new planetary science and astrobiology decadal survey published by the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The survey report suggests research priorities for the next ten years, including the best opportunities for alien life discovery. It gathers scientific information through panels, papers, speakers, and other m...
