- In Images Capture the Exact Moments an Israeli Bomb Strikes a Building in Beirut, Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein captured the projectile, "frozen in mid-flight before obliterating the structure, provide a striking look at the speed, power and devastation of modern warfare."

- Chris Welch reports Google Photos Will Soon Show You if an Image Was Edited With AI starting next week.

- In macOS Sequoia 15.1 Next Week, Howard Oakley reports in the fixes in the update and the plans for 15.2, which may include Image Playground or ChatGPT. He's particularly impressed with Writing Tools, a suite of mainly on-device features for summarizing and rewriting text.
