It was a passion that lasted until her death this week while on a U.S. speaking tour.

She later became a vocal advocate and was known for a message of hope and credited with inspiring generations of people, especially women and girls.
It’s official: AOL’s dial-up internet has taken its last bow. The company confirmed it would discontinue the service on Tuesday, September 30th, citing routine evaluations of its offerings. Dial-up is no longer advertised on AOL's website, and former help pages related to the service are unavailable. AOL, formerly America Online, introduced many households to the World Wide Web for the first time when its dial-up service launched decades ago. The creaky door to the internet was characterized by a once-ubiquitous series of beeps and buzzes heard over the phone used to connect your computer online. Eventually, broadband and wireless offerings rose to dominance — but some consumers still use other dial-up offerings today.
Bryson DeChambeau delivered a rousing start to the Ryder Cup. Turns out that's all it was during an opening session bathed in European blue. Jon Rahm won his fifth straight foursomes match and Europe had a 3-1 lead after the opening session. The notorious Bethpage Black crowd has been mostly silent because the scoreboard has been filled with European blue points. The Europeans won the first three matches with ease. None reached the 16th hole. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele saved the Americans from another opening session shutout when they won the anchor match just as President Donald Trump was arriving.

Clayton Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, will retire at the end of this season, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced Thursday.

Kershaw, an 11-time All-Star and 2014 NL MVP, is in his 18th major league season, all with the Dodgers. He won World Series championships in 2020 and 2024. Kershaw has a career record of 222-96 and 15 shutouts, leading active Major League players. His 2.54 ERA is the lowest of any pitcher in the live ball era since 1920.
Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield is leaving the ice cream brand after 47 years. He says the freedom the company used to have to speak up on social issues has been stifled. Co-founder Ben Cohen posted Greenfield's letter on social media platform X on Greenfield’s behalf. Greenfield said that he felt the independence the brand had to speak on social issues and events was lost to Unilever. A spokesperson for The Magnum Ice Cream Company says it will be forever grateful to Greenfield for his contributions to Ben & Jerry’s, but it is not aligned with his viewpoint.

New York’s attorney general has proposed rules for social media companies as the state moves to implement a law shielding children from addictive feeds. The SAFE for Kids Act was passed last year. It prohibits algorithm-driven feeds for users under 18 without parental consent. The law also restricts notifications between midnight and 6 a.m. The proposed rules include standards for verifying a user’s age and obtaining parental consent. Supporters say addictive feeds contribute to a youth mental health crisis. Online age check laws have garnered opposition from groups that advocate for digital privacy and free speech. The rules are now open for a 60-day public comment period.
President Donald Trump attended the New York Yankees victory over the Detroit Tigers in the Bronx, drawing mixed reactions from the crowd. The visit marks the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Earlier Thursday, Trump honored victims at the Pentagon. Security was heightened at the stadium, with metal detectors and Secret Service agents present at every entrance. Trump greeted players before the game and predicted a Yankees win, recalling past games with late owner George Steinbrenner. Trump, who was born in Queens, has attended a series of major sporting events since returning to the White House in January.

The FBI has released photos of a person of interest in Charlie Kirk’s shooting as investigators appeal to the public for tips. President Donald Trump said Thursday he’s shocked by the horror of Kirk’s assassination on a Utah university campus where Kirk was speaking a day earlier. The Republican president praises Kirk’s impact on conservative politics, calling him “a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration” to millions of people. Law enforcement officials say the shooter who assassinated Kirk has not been identified and is believed to have jumped off a roof and fled into a neighborhood after firing one shot. Officials say nearby woods where a high-powered rifle was found have been secured.
Federal prosecutors detained 57 people after a raid on a snack bar plant in upstate New York. Acting U.S. Attorney John Sarcone said Tuesday that five of those detained last week in Cato, New York, face charges for illegally re-entering the U.S. The remaining 52 face deportation proceedings. Most of those detained are reportedly from Guatemala. This raid, one of the largest in New York, coincided with another in Georgia, where 475 people were detained at a Hyundai manufacturing site. Sarcone said employers can expect to be criminally prosecuted if they employ workers without authorization. Factory owners said last week that their employees had legal documentation.

Coach Brian Daboll says Russell Wilson will start at quarterback for the New York Giants in their second game of the season Sunday at Dallas. Daboll said Wilson will remain the starter on a video call with reporters Monday less than 24 hours after he left open the possibility of turning to rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson was 17 of 37 for 168 yards in a 21-6 season-opening loss to Washington. The Giants did not score a touchdown in Week 1 for a third consecutive year. Dart dressed as the backup but is still awaiting making his NFL debut.
Carlos Alcaraz has reasserted his superiority over Jannik Sinner with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory in the U.S. Open final. Sunday's showdown was the third Grand Slam tournament in a row where these elite, young rivals met to decide the champion. Alcaraz claimed his second trophy at Flushing Meadows and sixth overall at a major. President Donald Trump sat in a sponsor’s suite in Arthur Ashe Stadium and received a mix of cheers and boos when he offered a wave beforehand and again when he was shown on videoboards after the first set. The match’s start was delayed by about a half-hour because of extra security.
