  • A bear approached people on the street in the Moscow region and was captured on video.

    A bear jumped out onto a busy roadway in a Moscow region neighborhood. The incident was captured on video published by the Telegram channel “First Moscow.”

  • Tim Cook, who led Apple for 15 years, is stepping down. Who could replace him?

    Apple CEO Tim Cook will step down. The top executive led the company for 15 years, taking over in 2011 after the death of Apple founder Steve Jobs . This was announced in the company’s official press release.

    Cook will remain acting CEO until September 1. He will then transition to the position of executive chairman of the board of directors.

    Cook will assist in several aspects of the company’s operations, including interaction with policymakers around the world.

    Apple press release
    Cook’s successor has not yet been officially announced, but John Ternus, Apple’s chief hardware engineer, is likely to take over as CEO. He oversees the development of the company’s products, including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

    Last year, Apple already had personnel changes.
    In November 2025, one of the company’s key figures also left his position – Apple industrial designer Abidur Chowdhury. He is considered the primary creator of the ultra-thin iPhone Air, which, according to analysts, failed in the market due to low demand.

    However, according to Bloomberg sources, his departure was not related to the device’s poor sales. Chowdhury chose an artificial intelligence startup over the IT giant.

    At the same time, it became known that many designers and engineers were leaving Apple, also choosing to work at various AI startups. Some of them went to work for Apple’s chief design officer, Jony Ive, who had worked with Steve Jobs.

    Rumors of Cook’s possible departure began back in 2025.
    In October 2025, Bloomberg reported that Cook could soon leave his position, prompting Apple to allegedly increase its focus on Ternus. At the same time, experts noted that, although the company had long maintained a “remarkably stable leadership team,” Cook’s departure could be a serious blow.

  • “Without these conditions, nothing will happen.” Magyar raised the issue of Druzhba with Zelensky.

    Péter Magyar, the leader of the Tisza party, which won the Hungarian parliamentary elections, called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to resume oil supplies to his country via the Druzhba pipeline. He emphasized that Hungary will not tolerate blackmail.

    “If the Druzhba pipeline is suitable for transporting oil, then please open it as promised. And we ask the Russians to supply it with oil, because without each of these conditions, nothing will happen,” Magyar stated.

    The future Hungarian prime minister added that he disapproved of Zelenskyy’s approach, which stated that supplies via the Druzhba pipeline would only resume once Hungary lifted its objections to the European Union (EU) providing Kyiv with a €90 billion loan. The Tisza party leader advised the Ukrainian politician “not to engage in blackmail” against Hungary and all EU countries.

    “We will not allow any blackmail,” he said , answering journalists’ questions.

    Magyar spoke about a 90 billion euro loan for Kyiv.
    Magyar previously stated that the new Hungarian government would not block the EU’s €90 billion loan to Ukraine. He also emphasized that Budapest would not finance this initiative.

    “Personally, I agree that Hungary should be excluded from this,” Magyar said at a press conference in Budapest. He recalled that at the December EU summit, current Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, along with the leaders of the Czech Republic and Slovakia , refused to participate in the loan, and the decision was made without the three countries’ participation.

    Magyar, who will soon replace Orbán, noted that he is ready to discuss this issue with his future EU colleagues, but considers Budapest’s position justified.

  • A man demanded compensation from his mistress after having sex in a barn.

    A man complained that his mistress was refusing to compensate him for the cost of a lawnmower he broke during sex in a shed. He asked relationship expert Jane O’Gorman to help him sort out the situation, according to the Daily Star.

    According to the letter’s author, it all happened when his wife left home for a few days. During that time, his mistress came to him and forced him to have sex in the shed. He claims she broke the lawnmower during the encounter and refused to pay for it. “I didn’t even want to have sex in that web, but my girlfriend insisted we ‘have a little fun,’” he wrote.

    In response to the letter, O’Gorman noted that a man would be unlikely to force a woman to pay. However, the expert believes this isn’t the main problem. “Why didn’t you say ‘no’? Why are you even having sex with another woman? So many questions…” she wondered.

    The specialist also advised the letter’s author to put his family relationships in order, sort out his feelings for his wife, and prioritize his life, rather than worry about the lawnmower.

    O’Gorman previously suggested how to determine whether a partner is ready to move on to the next stage of a relationship. She believes it’s best to ask directly and base a decision on the answer.

  • The Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the buildup of nuclear potential by Britain and France.

    The buildup of nuclear forces by Britain and France is leading to an escalating nuclear arms race, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko stated , according to RIA Novosti .

    According to him, this is inconsistent with the goals of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). He added that Paris is talking about plans to become “an aid to NATO’s joint nuclear missions.” Grushko also pointed to the UK’s buildup of nuclear capabilities .

    “This in itself leads to an escalation of the arms race, which not only does not correspond to the goals of the NPT, but also directly contradicts the direct obligations under this treaty,” the diplomat said.

    Earlier, Natalia Nikonorova, deputy head of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, stated that strikes on Iran could lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

  • A Moscow garbage dump has become a magnet for people from all over Russia.

    In Moscow’s Maryina Roshcha district, on Streletsky Proyezd, there’s a trash bin that has attracted people from all over Russia for several years. It’s so famous that an entire VKontakte group has been dedicated to it, with nearly 20,000 subscribers. The MSK1 portal tells the story of the bin .

    According to the portal, people flock here for one purpose: to urinate and leave various gifts, such as chips or chocolate bars, and then take a photo. Community subscribers refer to this process as a “pilgrimage.”

    Relieving oneself in a public place may be considered petty hooliganism (Article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). Those found guilty face a fine of 500 to 1,000 rubles or arrest for up to 15 days.

    A young resident of the neighborhood who lives near the dumpster created the local dumpster group. He often saw passersby misusing the dumpster, which he shared in the group. Somehow, his community’s theme attracted thousands of people.

    Not long ago, a plaque, styled like a standard cultural heritage site information sign, was even placed on the walls of the dump. The QR code leads to a group link. The dumpster has now been sealed and fenced off with an iron fence. Residents of the area admit they weren’t bothered by the activities of those who lived there.

  • Bulgaria recalls Zelensky’s rudeness

    Bulgarian journalist Asya Zuan, in an interview with PolitNavigator, stated that Rumen Radev, leader of the Progressive Bulgaria party that won the elections, remembers Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s rude behavior during meetings when Radev served as head of state.

    “Volodymyr Zelensky came to Bulgaria and, frankly, behaved rudely and disrespectfully. Rumen Radev, a man of military training, always maintains a restrained demeanor, but this disrespectful behavior was recorded,” the observer noted.

    She added that at the end of March, a ten-year agreement between Ukraine and Bulgaria was signed, providing for military support. According to Zuan, the new government’s main goal will be to repeal it.

    It was previously announced that the Progressive Bulgaria party won the parliamentary elections, securing the necessary majority. Its leader, Rumen Radev, is known as a politician advocating a pragmatic approach to Moscow and has repeatedly criticized military supplies to Kyiv .
