In the blistering heat, a simple act of kindness beats the struggle. May we all encourage more, help more, and never lose the compassion that lifts every living soul. op:@ppacificpearl

They’ve been insisting they’re twins since they were in preschool. Nearly a decade later, the pair is still proving sisterhood goes beyond genetics. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road in Miami.

Today is such a proud milestone for our @Waymo team as we launch our first-ever national brand campaign. And awesome to have it air during the first US World Cup game tonight in LA!!! 🇺🇸 🇵🇾 ⚽ With this campaign, we want to open up a conversation about who we are doing this for... It's about our riders, the drivers with whom we share the road, cyclists, pedestrians, and the communities we serve. We build this technology and grow this service not because humans aren’t enough, but because to us, they’re everything. This campaign is an invitation to connect with our mission on a deeper, more human level. And as we look to the future, we want to hear from you: raise your hand and let us know where you want to see the Waymo Driver next. 🤩 A massive thank you to our phenomenal team for bringing this vision to life with so much creativity, care, heart, and sleepless nights. 😍 💚 💙 Watch the film below and let me know your thoughts. 👇

Shakira’s performance today was nothing short of legendary. The aura, the moves, the vocals, she turned the opening ceremony into her own concert. Simply epic.

Marie Wilcox realized she was the last person on Earth who could speak the Wukchumni language fluently, so at 82, she taught herself to use a computer and spent seven years typing a 6,000-word Wukchumni dictionary, the first written record of the language in history, to save it from extinction.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of David Hockney, a visionary and friend to Apple. David showed that creativity has no limits, turning iPad into a canvas for some of the most vibrant art of our time. His legacy will inspire us all to see the world a little more beautifully.

Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”

Norway just released their official 2026 World Cup team photo — and the internet has completely lost its mind. Every single player is dressed head-to-toe in authentic Viking warrior attire. Shields, swords, longships, and a dramatic Oslo fjord in the background. No airplane steps. No tracksuits. Just 26 footballers looking like they sailed out of the ninth century. The photo is titled "The Vikings Are Coming." It was shot by renowned British photographer David Yarrow, who privately secured a beach near Oslo and transformed it into a full Viking camp. The idea actually started back in 2023, when Yarrow first photographed Erling Haaland alone in Viking dress, waist-deep in a fjord. The photographer later said: "If you had to choose one sportsperson in the world that doesn't need much hair and makeup to look like a Viking, it's Erling Haaland." One small detail that makes this even better — captain Martin Ødegaard couldn't make the shoot. He was busy winning the Champions League final with Arsenal in Budapest that day. So Yarrow photographed him separately afterward and digitally added him into the frame. Even the clouds matched. The numbers behind this team are absurd. Haaland scored 16 goals in just eight qualifying matches — the most of any player across all of European qualifying. Norway won every single one of those eight games, including two victories over Italy: 3-0 in Oslo and 4-1 at the San Siro. Italy, a four-time world champion, will not be at this World Cup. Norway will. They haven't been to a World Cup since 1998. That's a 28-year wait. At the tournament, they face Iraq, Senegal, and France in the group stage — with their final game setting up a direct battle between Haaland and Kylian Mbappé. The Vikings are not just coming. They're already here.
