This year’s 35-meter-tall wooden pallet bonfire is part of the annual Slinningsbålet tradition in Ålesund, Norway.
Every year, locals build and light it to celebrate St. Hans Eve (Midsummer Eve), creating one of the world’s tallest bonfires.

A baggage handler showing what real character looks like. No audience, no applause. Just kindness when nobody’s watching 🥹
Actual humanity ❤️
He fed all 150 of us before he made himself a plate.
Friday the 13th. United flight 2480, San Francisco to Houston.
Somewhere over New Mexico, a passenger collapsed in the bathroom. The plane went quiet in that particular way, the kind where strangers who will never know each other's names start silently praying for the same person.
We made an emergency landing in Albuquerque. An ambulance was already waiting on the tarmac.
That should have been the story.
But the delay pushed our crew past their legal flying hours. FAA rules. Nobody's fault, just the math of safety regulations meeting a long, hard day. A new crew had to fly in from Chicago. We weren't leaving until almost 10:30 that night.
Seven extra hours. In an airport. With cranky kids, empty stomachs, and the particular exhaustion of watching a short delay quietly turn into an entire evening you didn't plan for.
United sent meal vouchers. Eventually. 7:15 p.m.
Every restaurant in the terminal was already closed.
150 people. A stack of useless paper. Nowhere to spend it.
That's when our captain picked up his phone.
He didn't ask corporate. Didn't wait for approval. Didn't make an announcement to the gate so everyone would know what he was about to do. He just called a local pizza place and ordered 30 pizzas.
Out of his own pocket.
When the boxes arrived, he didn't hand them off to a gate agent and walk away. He organized a line, by seat number, the only fair way to do it, and stood there in his full captain's uniform, serving slices to exhausted strangers one at a time. When a box ran out, he broke it down and opened the next one.
He fed all 150 of us.
Then, and only then, he made himself a plate.
Before we finally boarded the replacement flight, he stood at the door and shook the hand of every single passenger as they walked past him to their seat. Every one.
I've flown more flights than I can count.
I have never seen anything like this.
Nothing about that night was in his job description. Nobody would have faulted him for handing out vouchers and disappearing into the crew lounge to rest. He had every reason to be as tired as the rest of us.
He chose to be the one still standing, still serving, still making sure 150 strangers felt like someone in that building actually cared whether they ate.
That's not customer service.
That's just who he is when no one's required to be.
To the captain of Flight 2480, somewhere out there, you probably don't think this was a big deal.
It was. 🍕✈️

This is the view from the top of the Royal Caribbean aqua theatre high dive!!
One false step or move and serious injury could occur. Literally risking your life.
“Just like normal.” 🤯
Fearless performers. 💯
What about this is NORMAL?
Do you get anxiety just looking at that view?

🚂Poland's Niespieszny, or the 'Unhurried' train, is a bet that some passengers will pay for a slower, relaxed journey. Decked out in 1980s retro style, the train winds through countryside routes, giving travelers time to enjoy one of its main attractions: classic Polish food
Pilot of Knicks plane: "Tower for departure

Hotel Miramalfi is an elegant 5-star boutique hotel located on a cliff on the Amalfi Coast, Italy. Integrated into the Small Luxury Hotels of the World network, it stands out for its Mediterranean design and its 36 rooms, all with sea views and decorated with handmade ceramics.
Just want to thank all the international World Cup fans for coming and lifting all of us Americans up with your absolutely charming encounters with our big weird country. We needed it. Best 250th birthday gift ever.
Most people watch the World Cup from cafe or a couch. Türkiye fans watch it at 6:00 AM from a 2,000-year-old ancient theatre facing the sea. 🇹🇷🌅
Football with a view like this hits different. 😮
Even the Pope experiences mechanicals 😊
Pope Leo XIV has disembarked the aircraft in Tenerife and returned to the terminal. He loved Spain so much that he didn’t want to leave.
In all seriousness the airplane has an engine fault.
Photo of the Year!
The Vicar of Christ is my co-pilot.
I’m pretty sure seeing the Pope flying jumpseat is the best thing I’ll see this month 😎
