Former #Lions C Frank Ragnow breaks his silence since his abrupt retirement during his charity event. He says his NFL playing days are officially over, but he was “trying to will myself to play and my body was telling me otherwise” last year when he attempted to comeback.

What a day- At the Toy Story 5 premiere my son-in-law, Divighn (who sang on The Voice) said to me “I’m going to send you an early birthday present”. He knew I was fascinated by the dude Roy Orbison. He just sent me his studio cover version of “You Got It” by Roy Orbison. He was singing it, thinking about my daughter. What a talent he is. Turn up the volume and enjoy. #Divighn

A 17 year old volleyball player Claire Crawford goes into full cardiac arrest while playing a match . She hits the volleyball then collapses to the floor. CPR was not working but a quick thinking school administrator runs in with a heart defibrillator. This saves her life and Claire makes a full recovery. Thank God things lined up the way they did . 🙏🏼

To everyone who… Puts the cart back, smiles at strangers, lets others go first, shows real empathy, listens to understand, is kind to animals, notices the little things, offers help, checks if people are okay, sends the “Did you make it home?” text, and feels for those who are hurting. Thank you. The world needs more of you. 🙏🏻

The SEINFELD cast couldn't keep it together when working with Jerry Stiller because he was so committed to the Frank Costanza character, they would just break while he delivered his lines 😂 Absolute legend

Mitt Romney to Harvard Business School graduates: "There's more to a country than its economy. To be a great nation, it must also be a good nation. The world needs good men. It needs good women. Good leaders. Good parents raising good children. There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people."
“The true measure of wealth in life is the people you love and your friends.” Sen. @MittRomney told Harvard Business School graduates, Wednesday, to prioritize people over careers and focus on success at home. Read more of his advice for the class of 2026 and the guidance he brought from a Latter-day Saint prophet in the thread below. | By @mariyamanzhos

Bingo. Transparency and Authentic. Not cocky. Not fake. Real. Own it. And that doesn’t come from AI, nor a college degree.
I just had the craziest experience at the airport. We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight. Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.” Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess. The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.” He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.” Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate… Start clapping. I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message. All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest. It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time. @Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.
