Giants’ Matt Chapman Joins Select SF Baseball Company, Including Willie Mays, With 8 RBIs in Win

Published by Sam Flores

CHICAGO (AP) — Matt Chapman joined some select San Francisco baseball company — including Willie Mays — with his massive day at the plate on Friday. The 33-year-old third baseman hit his fourth career grand slam, a three-run homer and added a sacrifice fly to finish with a career-high eight RBIs in the Giants’ 18-3 rout of the slumping Chicago Cubs. The eight RBIs tied the Giants’ San Francisco-era individual game record, shared by five others. The first to do it after the team relocated from New York in 1958 was Mays in on April 30, 1961. The other Giants to accomplish the feat were Orlando Cepeda (July 1961), Brandon Crawford (July 2019), Joc Pederson (May 2020) and Wilmer Flores (May 2025). “I feel like I’ve been doing a good job with runners in scoring position and I’ve been having a lot of opportunities with guys on base,” said Chapman, in his 10th major league season and third with the Giants. Chapman hit his slam in San Francisco’s six-run fourth — and in a light …

For some, oral care is like making dinner: Most people aren’t thrilled by the idea of it but you have to do it every day. You can order takeout when you’re out of meal ideas, but you can’t phone in brushing your teeth. That’s why having the best oral care products is key, especially if you want to prevent cavities, plaque buildup and bad breath. “When you’re sleeping, your mouth dries out and your saliva cannot rinse away the leftover substances from whatever you ate or drank that day,” says Dr. Kandis Smith, General Dentist and Owner of SmileVana. “This is a perfect environment for the bacteria in the mouth to feed on these leftover food substances and produce an acid that dissolves the enamel of your teeth, which is essentially the process of how a cavity is formed.” This makes brushing, flossing, and other dental upkeep non-negotiable. Over the years, NBC Select staff has tested hundreds of oral care products — some of which have won Wellness Awards. Below, we’re sharing our top 50 …

The exact wording “reach arrangements”s in the Bloomberg headline is important because it suggests a framework, a commitment, or a negotiated understanding, not necessarily a finalized purchase contract for Boeing commercial jets. Based on earlier reports, Trump said China agreed to buy 200 Boeing planes, with the total potentially rising to 750 aircraft. The next set of headlines shows that the Trump team and Beijing have reached a partial trade de-escalation package following the summit: CHINA, US AGREE TO REDUCE LEVIES ON A CERTAIN RANGE OF PRODUCTS CHINA TO EXPAND BILATERAL TRADE W/ US ON …

United’s mobile app now shows TSA wait times at select airports

Published by skeptic

United Airlines is updating its iOS and Android mobile apps with several new features, including estimated security wait times to give travelers a better idea of when they should arrive at the airport. The move comes as the ongoing partial government shutdown has left TSA checkpoints understaffed. In the “Travel” section of the United mobile app, travelers can now view security wait times for the airline’s U.S. hub airports in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Users will see estimated wait times for specific lanes, including standard security and TSA PreCheck, throughout terminals serving United customers. “We appreciate the work and professionalism of our TSA agents, and while most began receiving back pay earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security shutdown continues and people want to stay informed about expected security wait times at our airports,” Jason Birnbaum, United’s chief information officer, said in a press release. “Our customers rely on our mobile app for all their travel needs, and this new feature lets them know what …

Pentagon Refuses to Say If AI Was Used to Select Elementary School as Bombing Target

Pentagon Refuses to Say If AI Was Used to Select Elementary School as Bombing Target

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech In the aftermath of airstrikes that leveled a school and claimed the lives of 165 Iranian elementary students and staff, the Pentagon has refused to say whether the attack was suggested by an AI system. The grotesque possibility isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. According to bombshell reporting by the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon used Anthropic’s Claude AI model in planning military strikes on Iran over the weekend — and is likely still using it as the Trump administration’s attacks carry on. In the opening salvo, either the US or Israel — though available information points to the former — obliterated the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school, located in the South-Iranian city of Minab. Most of the people killed in the strike, Al Jazeera reports, were elementary students aged between seven and 12. At least 95 other people were injured in the attack. Making matters even more grim is reporting from Middle East Eye that Shajareh Tayyebeh was …
