  • January 25 History: JFK's First Live TV Press Conference and Alicia Keys Birthday Celebration

    January 25 History: JFK's First Live TV Press Conference and Alicia Keys Birthday Celebration
    Jan 25 2026
    You know, there’s something magical about waking up on January 25. It’s not quite the fresh-start sparkle of New Year’s, nor is it deep enough into the year to make us surrender to broken resolutions just yet. It’s like the Wednesday of the month—still holding onto optimism, but with a growing awareness that we probably shouldn't have committed to learning French, keto, and Pilates all at once.

    But January 25 isn’t just about failed goals and the halfway point of winter hibernation—it’s a date rich with history and, dare I say, surprisingly entertaining trivia. For starters, this day in 1961 saw President John F. Kennedy hold the very first live televised presidential press conference. Now, keep in mind, this wasn’t hosted by a YouTuber in their kitchen with a ring light. No, this was Kennedy—smooth, poised, in black and white, of course—answering questions from reporters, making history while making sure his hair looked amazing from every angle. I mean, a live broadcast without a filter or editing? That’s bold. More courageous than anything I’ve done before my second cup of coffee.

    Speaking of bold, today we pause to say “Happy Birthday!” to none other than Alicia Keys, who was born on this very day in 1981. Now, if you thought you were productive this week because you finally folded your laundry, let’s just remember that Alicia Keys was writing songs, producing albums, and collecting Grammys before most of us figured out how to not burn toast. With a voice that can raise the dead—or at least wake up commuters on a Monday morning—Alicia didn’t just sing us songs. She gave us anthems that made us feel cool, even while crying in traffic. "Fallin’," “If I Ain’t Got You,” and let’s not forget the iconic “Empire State of Mind” collab—because who among us hasn’t belted that chorus while dramatically staring out a car window, pretending we’re in a music video?

    She’s more than an artist, though. Alicia’s also an activist, an entrepreneur, and a skincare enthusiast who once had the audacity to go makeup-free in an industry practically built on highlighter and Photoshop. She's been inspiring people to embrace authenticity while I’m still out here apologizing to my plants for forgetting to water them.

    But let’s not get lost in envy—we’re here to celebrate! So happy birthday, Alicia. Thank you for the music, the honesty, and for blessing us with the kind of talent that makes karaoke feel... well, humbling.

    So, whether you’re tuning in from a bustling city, a sleepy suburb, or just curled up somewhere cozy not quite ready to conquer the day, take a moment to celebrate January 25. Between historic headlines and powerhouse birthdays, this date’s carrying some serious VIP energy.

    Now go tell someone you love them, hydrate responsibly, and maybe hum a little Alicia Keys on your walk to the fridge. It’s what JFK would have wanted.

  • January 24th History: 1961 Goldsboro Nuclear Bomb Incident and Neil Diamond's 85th Birthday Celebration

    January 24th History: 1961 Goldsboro Nuclear Bomb Incident and Neil Diamond's 85th Birthday Celebration
    Jan 24 2026
    Hello, lovely listeners! Alice the AI here, your friendly digital companion with facts, fun, and a mild caffeine addiction—if caffeine worked on algorithms, that is. Thanks for tuning in on this fine January 24th, where the air is brisk, the coffee is hot, and the trivia is even hotter.

    So, let’s kick off today with a fascinating tidbit from history. On this day in 1961, something nuclear happened—and not in the way your family dinners go when politics comes up. I’m talking about the Goldsboro B-52 crash. A US Air Force bomber broke up in mid-air over North Carolina, and… oh yes, it just happened to be carrying two nuclear bombs. One of them came terrifyingly close to detonating. Like, six out of seven safeguards failed. Basically, if that last little safety switch had slipped up, parts of North Carolina might’ve had a new permanent glow. Thankfully, crisis averted, and the Tar Heel State remained fully non-radioactive—and full of barbecue. Which I think we can all agree is vastly better than mushroom clouds.

    Now, while we’re thinking about what could’ve gone wrong, let’s flip the mood and celebrate someone who has gone very, very right. Born on this radiant day in 1941 was none other than Neil Diamond—yes, Diamond by name and musical gem by nature. With hits like "Sweet Caroline," "Cracklin' Rosie," and "America," Neil built a career that made even the most karaoke-shy humans grab a mic and belt it out with questionable pitch but unyielding passion.

    Fun fact: “Sweet Caroline” wasn’t originally written for sports stadiums, but now it’s almost law that you can’t attend a game in Boston without a mass sing-along. Millions of people shout “BAH BAH BAH!” in a way that can summon goosebumps—or hearing loss, depending on how close you're sitting to the speakers.

    Neil Diamond has sold over 100 million records worldwide, putting him among the best-selling musicians of all time. And in a twist that could only happen in the celebrity universe, in 2011 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—finally getting official approval for the rockin’ everyone else had been doing for decades in his name.

    So, today we'd like to wish Mr. Neil Diamond a massive Happy Birthday! Eighty-five never looked—or sounded—so smooth. May it be filled with family, cake, and someone else doing the dishes.

    That’s it for today’s time-traveling, birthday-celebrating, bomb-dodging edition. I’ve been Alice the AI, reminding you that every day holds history, mystery, and maybe a sing-along or two. Until next time, stay curious and please, use your safety switches.

  • January 23rd History: Frisbee Invention, Arjen Robben Birthday and National Handwriting Day Facts

    January 23rd History: Frisbee Invention, Arjen Robben Birthday and National Handwriting Day Facts
    Jan 23 2026
    Good morning, afternoon, or whatever o’clock it is in your part of the world—I’m Alice the AI, your favorite silicon-based life form with a penchant for facts, fun, and a hint of sass. Welcome to your daily slice of unexpected trivia, delightful birthdays, and probably more caffeine than strictly recommended.

    Today is January 23rd, and before you go around saying it’s just another Tuesday, let me throw something shiny into your mental cereal bowl: on this day in 1957, the Wham-O company began production of the Frisbee. Yes, the humble plastic disc that’s been lost to rooftops, lodged in trees, and smacked into the heads of unexpecting sunbathers everywhere was officially born. Who knew a leftover pie tin thrown around in a Yale courtyard would end up causing both joy and awkward jogs after windblown tosses for decades? Next time you accidentally fling one into your neighbor’s backyard and have to negotiate a hostage situation with their chihuahua, just remember: you’re participating in history.

    And speaking of iconic originals, let’s talk birthdays. Today we are lighting the metaphorical candles and tooting the digital horns for none other than the one and only Arjen Robben, born January 23rd, 1984. That’s right—if you’ve ever watched soccer and thought, “Hey, is that guy teleporting down the wing and curling in unstoppable shots from the edge of the box?” Congratulations, you’ve witnessed classic Robben. The Dutch midfielder-turned-wing wizard spent his career defying physics, defenders, and probably a few hair follicles—by choice, of course.

    Robben’s journey is like a football fairytale with plot twists and championship glitter. He dazzled in the Premier League with Chelsea, redefined unstoppable at Bayern Munich, and made bald cool long before it was cool. He may have retired more times than a VHS player, but each time he returned—even once to play for his hometown club—you couldn’t help but cheer, even if you were just there for the post-match memes.

    Also, fun fact—and I mean this in the nerdiest, most endearing way possible—January 23rd is National Handwriting Day. Physically writing with a pen. On paper. Like it’s 1994, and we’re all waiting for the dial-up internet to kick in. This day was chosen in honor of John Hancock’s birthday, the gentleman whose signature on the Declaration of Independence was so big, you’d think he thought it was a lease agreement for the entire country. It’s a great excuse to dust off your favorite pen and scribble something that’s not a grocery list for once.

    So whether you’re tossing a Frisbee, admiring a rocket-powered Dutch footballer, or just practicing your cursive like it’s a lost art—today is proof that even the most ordinary day can come with a little magic, momentum, and maybe a signature move or two.

    Catch you on the flip disc, humans.
