Michael J. Fox Acting Return Set for Hit Apple TV Show

Yahoo16-05-2025

Back to the Future alum Michael J. Fox is officially coming out of his acting hiatus, after five years since his guest-starring appearance in CBS' legal drama The Good Fight. Fox has signed on to join the cast of Apple TV+ dramedy Shrinking for its third season.
Further details about his character are still under wraps. However, it's expected to be connected to Harrison Ford's character Paul Rhoades, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. It's the same disease that Fox has been battling for more than 30 years.
Fox's casting in Shrinking Season 3 reunites him with series co-creator Bill Lawrence, after previously working together in the hit ABC sitcom Spin City. For his leading performance in the political comedy series, Fox won three Golden Globe awards and one Emmy Award for Best Actor. The said show lasted for six seasons from 1996-2002.
The series is written and executive produced by Segel, Brett Goldstein, and Bill Lawrence, with the latter serving as the showrunner. The series stars Jason Segel as Jimmy, Harrison Ford as Paul, Christa Miller as Liz, Jessica Williams as Gaby, Michael Urie as Brian, Luke Tennie as Sean, and Lukita Maxwell as Alice. Season 2 also featured Goldstein as a recurring guest-star. It is executive produced by Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer, with Warner Bros. Television as its producing studio.
'It follows a grieving therapist who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks,' reads the synopsis. 'Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people's lives . . . including his own.'

Clooney, Denzel, Nicole, Patti: Inside Broadway's big off-stage drama ahead of the Tonys

There's never a shortage of drama on Broadway. However, this Tony season has taken things to a whole new level. And with records for both ticket prices and box-office grosses having been broken this year, there's more at stake than ever for Sunday's ceremony, which will be held at Radio City and air live on CBS starting at 8 p.m., as well as stream on Paramount+ and Showtime. Some huge-name stars (hello, Denzel Washington) are said to be hurting from snubs,. while others who are nominated — sorry, George Clooney — already know they won't win. 19 Three-time Tony winner Patti LuPone isn't even nominated for a Tony this year, but she's starred in some blockbuster drama, causing such a stir that 500 Broadway artists signed an open letter condemning her words. FilmMagic But even if you are an A-list Hollywood actor, 'Just because you're on stage does not entitle you to a Tony nomination. The disappointment quotient is higher [this year] and it makes it more interesting,' one Tonys insider told The Post. 'In years past, perhaps the caliber of nominees wasn't really as high or exciting. Competition wasn't as great as it is this year.' Nor were the off-stage theatrics. Three-time Tony winner Patti LuPone, never known for keeping her opinions to herself, isn't even nominated this year — but kicked off such a storm that 500 Broadway artists signed an open letter condemning her words. And that messy situation might even end up influencing voters in the heated category of Best Actress in a Musical. 19 'Sunset Boulevard' star Nicole Scherzinger, meanwhile, is a frontrunner to take home the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical. Mike Djordj / 19 Sources told The Post 'Gypsy' star Audra Mcdonald (left, in 'Mahogonny' in 2007 in Los Angeles) could garner sympathy from Tony voters after LuPone (right) bashed her as 'not a friend' to The New Yorker in May. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images The common expectation until recently was that Nicole Scherzinger, up for 'Sunset Boulevard,' had her Tony in the bag. But in the past two weeks, insiders have been buzzing about McDonald's momentum. That's because she's been in the headlines for reasons no star wants. It all began last year, when LuPone — who was co-starring with Mia Farrow in 'The Roommate' at the Booth Theatre on 45th Street — called in a noise complaint to Shubert Organization head Robert Wankel about 'Hell's Kitchen,' the Alicia Keys musical starring Kecia Lewis and playing at the Shubert Theatre on 44th, which shares a wall with the Booth. 19 'Othello' stars Denzel Washington (left) and Jake Gyllenhaal are said to be hurting from snubs. CJ Rivera/Invision/AP Lewis, speaking as one 'veteran' to another, posted an 'open letter' video in November, deeming LuPone's behavior 'bullying,' 'racially microaggressive,' and 'rooted in privilege' for calling 'a black show loud.' McDonald then showed support for Lewis on Instagram, which apparently annoyed LuPone, who she has shared the stage many times. 'That's typical of Audra. She's not a friend,' LuPone told the New Yorker in an interview, published in late May, that totally rocked the Broadway community. 19 LuPone complained about the neighboring show, 'Hell's Kitchen,' for being too noisy last year when she starred in 'The Roommate' at The Booth Theatre. AFP via Getty Images When the magazine's writer asked LuPone what she thought about McDonald as Mama Rose in 'Gypsy' — a role LuPone played in a 2008 revival — the actress sat quietly before changing the subject and replying, 'What a beautiful day.' She went on to trash Lewis, saying, 'She calls herself a veteran? Let's find out how many Broadway shows Kecia Lewis has done, because she doesn't know what the f–k she's talking about. 'She's done seven,' LuPone added of the 'Hell's Kitchen' star. 'I've done 31. Don't call yourself a vet, bitch.' 19 Following LuPone's complaint, 'Hell's Kitchen' star Kecia Lewis lashed out at her in an 'open letter' video posted in November, calling LuPone's behavior 'bullying' and 'rooted in privilege' for calling 'a black show loud.' Instagram / @therealkecialewis You could practically hear jaws hitting the stages all around Times Square. 'People are thinking that the New Yorker profile on Patti LuPone was akin to the [former FBI director James] Comey emails about Hillary Clinton,' the Tonys insider joked to The Post. It led to more than 500 Broadway artists, ranging from Tony winners like Wendell Pierce to wild cards like Courtney Love, putting their names to an open letter condemning LuPone. 19 LuPone trashed Kecia Lewis (above) in The New Yorker, saying, 'She calls herself a veteran? Let's find out how many Broadway shows Kecia Lewis has done, because she doesn't know what the f–k she's talking about.' Getty Images for Tony Awards Productions 19 McDonald (left) came to Lewis' defense on social media, putting her in LuPone's crosshairs. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images 'This language is not only degrading and misogynistic — it is a blatant act of racialized disrespect,' the letter said. 'It constitutes bullying. It constitutes harassment. It is emblematic of the microaggressions and abuse that people in this industry have endured for far too long, too often without consequence.' This led to an apology via social media by LuPone, who said, 'I regret my flippant and emotional responses during this interview.' 'She's [LuPone] a very outspoken person – no news flash there. It's certainly her fault for choosing her words incorrectly,' the Tonys insider said. 19 LuPone issued an apology on social media, saying she was 'deeply sorry for the words I used during The New Yorker interview, particularly about Kecia Lewis, which were demeaning and disrespectful.' 19 One Tony's insider told The Post of LuPone: 'She's a very outspoken person – no news flash there. It's certainly her fault for choosing her words incorrectly.' Getty Images for Disney Now, a Broadway source explained, the negative headlines might have the consequence of generating Tony voter sympathy for McDonald. 'Pre Patti LuPone drama, I would have said Nicole had [the Tony],' the Broadway source said. 'But after Patti went after Audra, people are saying it may help Audra in the long run.' Meanwhile, sources told The Post that McDonald, 54, was unhappy last month when she was unwittingly enlisted to present a Drama League award to 'Sunset Boulevard' star Nicole Scherzinger, who is up against McDonald at the Tonys. 19 George Clooney's 'Good Night, and Good Luck' set, then broke, a new record for the highest grossing week for a Broadway play, taking in more than $4.2 million in sales last week. Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic There were 51 actors up for the League's Distinguished Performance honor, meaning there was less than a 2% chance McDonald had to present to her rival. 'They've been pitted against each other the entire season. She [McDonald] felt uncomfortable doing it, but ultimately went about doing it,' the Broadway source told The Post. Playing Mama Rose — which the Tonys insider compared to 'the 'Hamlet' and 'King Lear' of musical theater roles combined' — apparently hasn't been easy for McDonald, who, sources say, has missed several performances of the grueling show due to exhaustion. 19 The other big earner has been 'Othello,' starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, which made eyes water with box-office ticket prices that went above $900. Othello 'When Audra misses [a show] it's because she literally cannot perform — otherwise she'd be on that stage. It is Olympian,' the Tonys insider said, adding that Tony-nominated actors are 'doing the shows every night and by day they're campaigning.' Still, the Tonys insider pointed out one difference between McDonald and rival Scherzinger's 'Sunset Boulevard' run: 'Nicole has never missed a show.' Scherzinger, meanwhile, had her own mini-scandal when some accused her of being pro-MAGA after she commented on a photo of Russell Brand wearing a hat with the phrase 'Make Jesus First Again' — posting prayer hands and heart emoji and asking, 'Where do I get this hat?' 19 As for Best Actor in a Play, there is apparently no doubt that the 'Oh, Mary' phenomenon, Cole Escola, will walk away with the trophy.19 Escola, 38, wrote and has starred in 'Oh, Mary!' as Mary Todd Lincoln. AP The actress later said in a statement, 'I deeply apologize for the hurt caused by my recent engagement with some social media posts. When I commented on these posts, I made the mistake of not realizing that they could be easily interpreted as being politically related and I apologize to anyone who understandably reached that conclusion.' The Tonys insider called the whole thing nonsense, adding that Scherzinger is 'a devout Catholic. She's all about prayer. Nicole lives in her own world [and] she couldn't be further from the MAGA world. For her to get painted as MAGA is such BS.' As for Best Actor in a Play, there is apparently no doubt that the 'Oh, Mary' phenomenon, Cole Escola, will walk away with the trophy. In fact, sources said, it's such a sure thing that fellow nominee George Clooney, nominated for 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' threw in the towel a while ago. 19 Nicole Scherzinger had her own mini-scandal when some accused her of being pro-MAGA after she commented on a photo of Russell Brand wearing a hat with the phrase 'Make Jesus First Again.' Getty Images 19 A Tony's insider said Scherzinger is 'a devout Catholic. She's all about prayer. Nicole lives in her own world [and] she couldn't be further from the MAGA world. For her to get painted as MAGA is such BS.' Marc Brrenner 'Clooney was campaigning, but then realized Cole Escola has it in the bag, so he stopped,' the Tonys insider said. Clooney's 'Good Night, and Good Luck' set, then broke, a new record for the highest grossing week for a Broadway play, taking in more than $4.2 million in sales last week. The other big earner has been 'Othello,' starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, which made eyes water with box-office ticket prices that went above $900. (When The Post's Johnny Oleksinski wrote a column criticizing those prices, he was disinvited from reviewing the show but did so anyway by purchasing a ticket rather than relying on the comps typically given to reviewers.) 19 'Clooney was campaigning, but then realized Cole Escola has it in the bag, so he stopped,' the Tonys insider said. REUTERS Gyllenhaal and Washington, however, were not nominated for Tonys — a fact Washington's wife, Pauletta Washington, told reporters was due to 'narrow-minded people that are in charge of making decisions and judgements.' 'This is one of those great years where people who are giving Tony Award-caliber performances didn't even make the cut during nominations. And that's the way it should be,' the Tonys insider said. Another surprise snub was Kieran Culkin for his role in the revival of 'Glengarry Glen Ross.' But we're told the actor will host a Tonys after-party at Pebble Bar to celebrate his former 'Succession' co-star Sarah Snook, who is said to have a strong shot at winning Best Actress in a Play for portraying 26 characters in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray.' 19 Another surprise snub was Kieran Culkin for his role in the revival of 'Glengarry Glen Ross.' FilmMagic 19 We're told Culkin will host a Tonys after-party at Pebble Bar to celebrate his former 'Succession' co-star Sarah Snook, seen here. Marc Brenner As always, the hottest ticket in town is not the awards show itself, but power publicist Rick Miramontez's legendarily raucous and hard-to-get-into bash at The Carlyle. The Post is told the party will have a tighter, even more exclusive guest list this year And after the high drama of this season, everyone on Broadway might need a stiff drink or three. 'It's been a fun season but also a grueling season,' the Tonys insider said. 'Everyone will be in the mood to party.'

The Best Tech Gifts for Father's Day 2025

Getting a gift for Father's Day (reminder: it's Sunday, June 15) is no easy task. What more could the dad in your life need other than your unconditional love? Turns out, physical gifts—preferably something useful or entertaining—are exactly what he needs to escape the hellscape that is our current timeline. Like we did for Mother's Day, we've curated a selection of the finest tech to get your favorite dad. With options for budgets under $100, under $300, under $500, and over $500, we're sure pops will like something from this list. Gifts Under $100 Anker 6-Foot USB-C Cable ($10) Nothing screams 'man of the house' like a 6-foot USB-C cable that can probably reach any outlet from the couch. For $10, you get two of 'em. Gotta keep the phone charged up when the commercials on the big screen hit. Buy at Amazon 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2 ($20) It'll feel wrong at first to use a PS5 controller to play Xbox and vice versa, but it beats buying a completely new gamepad when you can just pair existing ones to your consoles using this USB dongle. The 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2 even works with Switch, so dad can play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a PS5 or Xbox controller. Buy at Amazon Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company ($30) Whether dad loves Apple or hates it, the company's sheer scale producing devices like the iPhone and iPad unexpectedly gave birth to China's technology scene and helped give rise to its largest Asian competitors such as Xiaomi and Huawei. Apple in China is a fascinating dive into how Apple's growth has made the world go round. Buy at Amazon Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ($50) It's the talk of the gaming scene for good reason. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 offers a feast for the eyes and ears, and a wonderful story wrapped in gameplay that feels new while scratching the itch of any dad still nostalgic for early Final Fantasy titles. Buy at Amazon Arcs ($60) Leder Games' Arcs is the kind of board game that does so much in such a small space. It's a trick-taking conquest game about gaining space supremacy in the vein of 4X games on PC. If you want to make it extra spicy, also buy the Blighted Reach expansion to connect multiple games into epic, multi-session storylines. Buy at Amazon Anbernic 34XXSP ($67) Anbernic's latest Game Boy Advance SP mimic is the kind of device that will put a smile on the face of any dad who grew up with a Game Boy in tow. The 34XXSP is powerful enough to play most games from early handhelds, and even a select few games from the N64 or Dreamcast era. Buy at Anbernic SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence ($70) SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Life is one of those games that will get both the space-loving and mechanics-minded dads excited to sit at the table with you. It's a game that will run for several hours, but it ends with such an epic climax that everyone will be jonesing for another round anyway. Buy at Amazon Xbox Design Lab Controller ($80) That skin oil-worn controller he's using to play Xbox may work just fine, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't love an upgrade. Microsoft's Design Lab is full of unique customization options—from colors to patterns to grips and more. Buy at Xbox Gifts Under $300 Backbone One ($100) A quality mobile controller may be the perfect gift if he has ever complained about aching thumbs while trying to play a game on a phone. Our current choice remains the Backbone One, but if you want to spend more, the Backbone Pro is a good upgrade with tighter controls. Buy at Amazon Govee Gaming Pixel Light ($120) Your dad deserves to jazz up his decor beyond bland paintings you can find at a thrift shop. The Govee Gaming Pixel Light lets the man in your life add his favorite 8-bit art (32×32 pixels) to his wall. Buy at Amazon Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition ($120) Logitech's Lift is the go-to for vertical mice, but if your dad wants one for gaming, Razer's Pro Click V2 Vertical is the only way to go. Not only does it come with a more ergonomic design, but it also has more programmable buttons, faster polling rates for gaming, and RGB—gotta have RGB for dad to prove he's a real gamer. Buy at Amazon Nothing Ear ($130) There are a lot of wireless earbuds out there, but not everyone (dads included) is okay with defaulting to AirPods. Nothing's Ear, with its ceramic drivers, is fantastic for a dad who needs great audio with a style that's just a little bit different than most. Buy at Amazon Klipsch One Plus Premium ($170) Without making any assumptions about your dad, there's a chance that he may appreciate tech that's a little more analog. Klipsch's Bluetooth speaker brings great sound but also a slick mid-century design with knobs to boot—a design that combines modern tech with a vintage look. Buy at Amazon Lego Mario Kart ($170) What better way to spend time with a dad than over a Lego set? Even better is when that Lego set is a giant Mario riding a go-kart. 'It's-a-me-Mario!' voice not included. Buy at Lego Shun Classic Chef Knife ($170) This isn't the most high-tech product on this list, but it may be among the most practical. We can say with conviction that dad will never struggle with carving a bird ever again if you give the gift of Japanese steel. Buy at Macy's Polaroid Flip ($200) The Polaroid Flip is all nostalgia wrapped in a retro veneer, and it's now one of the better ways to take full-size instant photos at home. The camera is a hefty device, so dad may feel like a big, strong man lugging it around. Buy at Best Buy Flipper Zero ($200) The hardware-hacking dad in your life interested in his next DIY project would be absolutely thrilled to have the Flipper Zero. It's a signal multitool that can connect with various RFID and other radio protocols, plus the GPIO pins and custom firmware can be used to create a whole host of interesting use cases. Buy at Flipper Zero Boox Palma ($246) Kindles and Kobo e-readers are great for reading ebooks, but they don't fit into pockets. The Boox Palma is exactly the solution—a phone-sized e-reader that runs Android apps (though using it for anything more than ebooks is slow AF) that dad can actually grip with one hand. Buy at Amazon Meater Pro XL ($280) Grill dads who don't want to stand by the open flame constantly for every cookout will appreciate the Meater Pro XL. The device's four smart meat probes will let him monitor the temperatures and finish times for multiple meals through a single app, which means no more sprinting back and forth between oven and grill. Buy at Amazon Gifts Under $500 Meta Quest 3S ($300) Has your dad ever expressed any interest in VR, or even doing some at-home workouts? Set him up with the Quest 3S, and he won't need anything more. Buy at Amazon Philips Hue Play Sync Box ($334) If your dad needs an upgrade to his entertainment system, Philips' Hue Play Sync Box has him covered. This tiny box can coordinate the lighting of a movie with Hue smart lights and syncs TV content at 8K 60Hz and 4K 120Hz for a unique home theater experience. Buy at Amazon Google Pixel Watch 3 ($350) Everyone has an Apple Watch. Let dad feel different with the Google Pixel Watch. It tracks almost everything an Apple Watch does, including health and fitness, and the battery life is excellent. The only caveat is that it works with Android phones, not iPhones. Buy at Amazon Meta Ray-Bans ($350) Smart glasses might seem like an overboard gift if dad isn't tech-inclined, but Meta's Ray-Bans might be the right ratio of tech-to-style goodness. They have a classic look and are surprisingly nice for Bluetooth audio. Buy at Amazon Breville Paradice 9 ($395) Don't fault dad if his knife skills are subpar. Fortunately, a high-powered food processor like the Breville Paradice 9 can slice and dice just about any ingredient more evenly and faster. Technology saves time! Who'd have thunk it? Buy at Amazon Sony WH-1000XM8 ($448) Whether it's blocking out a crying baby or angsty teenager, Sony's latest WH-1000XM6 over-ear headphones deliver best-in-class active noise cancellation. Bonus points: they fold up neatly and come with a case that doesn't look like a bra (looking at you AirPods Max Smart Case). Buy at Amazon Gifts Over $500 Xreal One ($500) Maybe some lucky dads will get a $3,500 Apple Vision Pro for Father's Day, but if all dad needs is a pair of video glasses for watching Netflix and YouTube, Xreal's One is more than good enough and stupid easy to setup (just plug it into any device that supports USB-C video out). They're barely larger than a pair of sunglasses, the 1080p video is super sharp, and the screens even dim for a see-through effect. Buy at Amazon reMarkable Paper Pro ($680) If you're gonna get dad an e-reader and can splurge for the very best, the reMarkable Paper Pro is the one to get. It's got a color E Ink screen that's great for reading comics, supports a stylus for notetaking, and you can even get a keyboard folio case for it. Buy at Amazon

6 Apple TV+ shows that are so good, I wish I could enjoy them for the first time all over again

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. There's a particular kind of magic that only comes with a first watch of a TV series — the sort of thing that makes you gasp at a twist you didn't see coming, get emotionally invested in a story and its characters, and whisks you away someplace else thanks to the visual magic of the medium. I've actually thought about this a lot while watching Apple TV+. It's no secret that Apple doesn't release as much content as most of the other streamers, but whenever Apple does get it right the result is often unforgettable. On that score, I've rounded up six Apple TV+ series below that are honestly so good, I wish I could erase them from memory just so I could experience them again for the first time. They range from heartwarming comedy to spy adventures and prestige drama that's as good as anything Hollywood has done in years. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Bright, joyful, and full of heart, Acapulco has loads of How I Met Your Mother/The Wonder Years energy, thanks to narration by an older version of the show's main character — Maximo Gallardo, who as a young man in 1984 lands his dream job at the Las Colinas beach resort in Acapulco. The coming-of-age story unfolds with such a deft balance of charm and depth that by the end of each episode, you're either grinning or teary-eyed — and many times, both. The pastel-colored aesthetic and overall wholesome introduction to Mexico's culture certainly made me want to dig out my passport for that first visit to Mexico I keep planning. It somehow feels like underselling this next Apple TV+ standout by describing it as a mere TV show. Drops of God is a feast for the senses disguised as a family drama — sort of like a wine industry version of Succession. At the center of it all is a globe-spanning narrative stemming from the death of a wine expert who sets up a series of tests in order to determine who will inherit his estate: Will it be his estranged daughter, or his prized pupil? The series is tense, beautiful, and quietly devastating. And befitting its subject, the cinematography here is as intoxicating as an aged Bourdeaux. This dreamy adaptation of Min Jin Lee's award-winning novel is, without question, one of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen on television. It begins in Japanese-occupied Korea and follows Sunja, a young woman whose decisions echo across generations, as her family migrates to Japan and struggles to carve out a life amid war, discrimination, and dislocation. The title refers to the Japanese gambling game — one the family eventually turns into a livelihood — but it's also a haunting metaphor for the randomness of life, the slim odds of success, and the quiet resilience of those determined to endure. Here again, this is an Apple TV+ show that's on par with cinema. The visuals, the acting, and the storytelling in Pachinko are each breathtaking in their own right. Watching the show, dare I say, might even change you, not unlike the way traveling outside one's home country for the first time makes a profound impression on you. This next one broke the internet just a few months ago, with its jaw-dropping and supremely addictive second season. The premise behind Severance sounds simple: What if you could split your work and personal memories into two separate lives? The execution ended up being a masterclass in slow-burn tension, eerie world-building, and existential dread. Severance is actually so good, it's now the most-watched Apple TV+ series of all time, according to the streamer, and I envy anyone discovering this puzzle box for the very first time. It's rare for a spy thriller to be both razor-sharp and grimy, but Slow Horses pulls off that quirky balancing act thanks in large part to Gary Oldman's glorious mess of a lead performance. The show also pulls off a neat trick — it turns the espionage genre on its head by focusing on a team of MI5 outcasts rather than more competent secret agents with movie star good looks. The resulting story somehow makes these characters' loser status feel both hilarious and heroic. This is basically espionage with a hangover. It's messy and unpredictable. In a genre obsessed with perfection, Slow Horses makes failure look like a superpower. From its opening moments, Tehran grabs you and doesn't let go. This tightly-wound espionage thriller follows Tamar, a Mossad hacker sent undercover in Iran's capital, where one wrong move could mean the end — not just for her mission, but for her life. What makes the show stand out isn't just the cat-and-mouse plotting, but the emotional depth running beneath every decision Tamar makes. It's a story about identity, loyalty, and the psychological cost of living a lie. The upcoming third season has me especially excited — not just because Tehran raised its game significantly in Season 2, but also thanks to the arrival of Hugh Laurie, who joins the cast as a nuclear plant supervisor. When spy thrillers are done right, avoiding tired tropes and leaning into sharp writing and believable tradecraft, they're among my favorite kinds of shows to stream. And Tehran delivers so strongly, fans of The Bureau and The Americans will feel right at home here. With a lead actress who commands every scene and a constant undercurrent of tension, double-crosses, and moral ambiguity, Tehran stays a step ahead at every turn.
