I had to watch this five times to be sure it’s not AI. Nope. It’s real. Just one of Boston’s Finest being ambassador to the world. https://t.co/XJw4zt1rJD

Carolyn Davidson was a graphic design student at Portland State University when Phil Knight, who was then teaching accounting part-time, asked her to create a logo for his fledgling shoe company.
She billed the project at $2 per hour and received a total of $35 for her work. The design she produced would eventually become the iconic Nike swoosh.
Twelve years later, in 1983, Knight invited Davidson to a company event and surprised her with a special gift: a gold ring featuring the swoosh logo set with a diamond, along with an envelope containing 500 shares of Nike stock.
Over time, those shares grew in value and are now worth millions of dollars.
Incredible. Came for the celebration of Anderson Cooper’s career at 60 Minutes but watched through the end blown away seeing not just reminders of his outstanding work telling stories but the entire history of the show and its legendary journalism.
Today was supposed to be Capt. Jon Jackson's retirement flight with Spirit Airlines. After the airline's sudden shutdown, he found himself heading home as a passenger, seated in the back of a Southwest flight with his son, Chris, a Southwest First Officer.
Chris casually mentioned to the flight’s Pilots that this would have been his dad’s retirement flight. They seized the opportunity to change the course of the day for Capt. Jackson. They alerted Dylan, a Southwest Dispatcher, setting into motion a plan that resulted in a proper retirement party when the flight landed in Baltimore. The Baltimore Airport Fire & Rescue met the aircraft with a traditional water cannon salute, and the Baltimore Ground Operations Team was waiting at the gate to welcome him with cheers and bottle of bubbly.
It was a powerful reminder of the aviation community’s ability to show respect, compassion, and solidarity when it matters most. Above all, this moment was about honoring a fellow aviator. Congratulations, and thank you for your service in the skies, Capt. Jackson.

Stunning video shows an ultra rare phenomenon of iridescent clouds, which appears when sunlight interacts with lingering raindrops in the air after it rains.
Tonight is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride.
If he were to make the same journey from Boston to Lexington today, he could stop at 7 Dunkin locations. (via Reddit)
On this night 251 years ago, two men climbed Old North Church's steeple. They held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were heading to Concord via the Charles River.
Their famous “one if by land, two if by sea” warning ignited the American Revolution.
