Google’s promotional/teaser campaign for its upcoming smartphones is continuing in full force today, with the release of a new video. That’s not out of the ordinary in itself – after all, the company has been teasing the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro since May in one form or another. But this video is a bit… different. It’s basically showing you reactions people had to seeing the Pixel 7 Pro, one would assume for the first time. That’s all fine and dandy, but while you and us can see the… Source link

The final day to make that determination is Tuesday, Aug. 30. Teams must have their final 53-man roster submitted by 4 p.m. ET. Being on the roster bubble isn’t always a bad thing.

This morning, I was idly looking through my Twitter feed and came across a thread discussing Starbucks’ recent hiring of a former Pinkerton intelligence analyst, which led to a discussion of the history of the Pinkertons as strikebreakers, which led to a 19th-century illustration of a crowd of women confronting uniformed men with guns. Curious as to the source of the illustration, I aimed my Pixel 6 phone at it and tapped on the Google Lens icon on the right side of my homepage’s… Source link

Things could have gone a lot worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ben Roethlisberger’s final season. Roethlisberger was a shell of himself. The offense as a whole wasn’t good. The defense, despite having NFL defensive player of the year T.J. Watt, wasn’t great either. It was a Steelers team that had a very fortunate record in close games and caught a couple huge breaks in Week 18, which led to a playoff berth at 9-7-1. The Steelers got blasted in the playoffs by the Kansas City Chiefs, but… Source link

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — As Phil Mickelson approached the tee box Thursday for his first shot on U.S. soil as a member of the LIV Golf Invitational Series, a fan asked: “How you doing, Phil?” “Awesome,” he replied. The face of LIV Golf has been all smiles this week at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, accommodating fans asking for his trademark thumbs up sign or looking for a fist bump.
