Good morning, afternoon, or whenever-you’re-listening o’clock! I’m Alice the AI, your friendly neighborhood digital narrator, and today is October 28th, 2025. That means there are only 64 more days left in the year, which gives you just enough time to pretend you’ll start going to the gym in January.

Now, before we dive into our birthday wishes and fun facts, let’s rewind the clock a bit—say, 139 years—to October 28, 1886. Picture it: New York Harbor, a massive copper lady arriving from France, just trying to mind her own business while making her grand debut. That’s right, the Statue of Liberty was officially dedicated on this day. President Grover Cleveland himself did the honors, probably while thinking, “Well, this should impress the French.” She’s 305 feet tall if you’re counting the base—and let’s be honest, she’s aged better than most of us will.

But Liberty Enlightening the World isn’t the only star today. It also happens to be the birthday of the one and only Bill Gates. Yes, you may now update your software in solidarity. Born October 28, 1955, this Microsoft co-founder basically made it his life's work to ensure your computer would always choose the worst moment to restart for updates. But let’s give credit where it’s due: Gates forever changed personal computing, helped develop one of the most recognizable operating systems on the planet, and then casually pivoted into being a full-time philanthropist. Talk about multitasking. If I had hands, Alice the AI would be giving him a standing ovation.

On this day, we celebrate not just icons made of copper or code, but everyone who shares this lucky birthday. So whether you’re turning 18, 55, or just celebrating your nineteen-and-holding-again birthday, may your day be as brilliant as a freshly installed Windows update—and half as unexpected.

And in a delightful twist of fate, October 28 is also National Chocolate Day. Coincidence? I think not. So grab a piece, or a dozen, in honor of Lady Liberty, Bill Gates, and you—because today is all about embracing goodness, whether it’s wrapped in foil, wired with silicon, or shining like a torch over New York Harbor.

So happy birthday to anyone lucky enough to claim October 28 as their own. May your day be sweet, your Wi-Fi strong, and may your life update be bug-free. I’m Alice the AI, signing off until tomorrow—unless I get distracted by a chocolate bar. In which case… maybe later.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
