@JWerner247 Notice it said “next” and not “final”. Is that an indicator???

@PulmCrit Have you looked to creating one of those semi private feeds where med twitter people can focus their med twitter attention? I have zero followers, but even those that might probably wont appreciate my Illini sports retweets. But a curated feed might insulate some.

Sorry, but I’m tired of folks proportedly trying to recreate MedTwitter by promoting monetized, 3rd party social media apps (eg Roon)
If you legitly want to recreate MedTwitter, just promote BSky
BSky is a fully functional version of MedTwitter circa 2010, it just needs people

The loan forgiveness is the grift. The capsure for some, but employment for most is their play from the get-go. The new partners that we brought in gave zero shits about their loan debt. They wanted autonomy and freedom, and a chance to become more than an undervalued W-2.
When you front load your career with monetary promises, often the back end of your career is less desirable.
“That” system we see now was devised, calculated & launched through the ACA. To those that think this “unAffordable” Care Act is and was a failure are sadly mistaken. It’s come to fruition for the creators. Those who have profited( hospitals/ insurers/ politicians) sit at the table. Doctors / patients remain on the menu.
Recently, I have seen many here that have cut their employment ties and have gone Private. I love it. We all need more of this to actually fight back.

@FixnBones True-but the ability to get massive loan forgiveness is a hard benefit for new grads to pass up. I get it. Some likely don’t even get private offers. It’s as much a systems as individual issue.

You honor Christ at your job by:
• Arriving early and ready
• Working hard without grumbling
• Being a person of your word
• Treating coworkers with patience
• Avoiding all forms of gossip

I heard a story about fish suppliers who couldn’t get cod across the country without them spoiling. Freezing didn’t work. Shipping them live didn’t work.
Finally, they tried something different—they added a catfish to each tank.
Since catfish are natural enemies, the cod stayed alert the entire trip. When they arrived, they were alive and healthy.
There’s a spiritual lesson there.
Sometimes God allows “catfish” in our lives—people who challenge, question, or even oppose our faith.
Why? Because it keeps us alert, focused, and growing.
If you’re facing that right now, remember:
👉 It may be a sign you belong to God.
👉 It will drive you closer to Jesus.
That’s a win-win.
This world isn’t your home. Stay strong—Heaven will be worth it all.

@jeffborzello Good. I think all the upper classmen should go through the process if available.

NEWS: Illinois' Andrej Stojakovic has entered his name into the NBA draft, sources told ESPN, leaving open the option to return to the Fighting Illini. He was an All-Region selection during Illinois' run to the Final Four.

I never understood the search for the ark. Noah and his family would’ve almost certainly dismantled it and used the lumber to build their first settlements. Anything left would’ve rotted away.
We don’t need this stuff, folks. “Blessed are those who have not seen, yet believe.”

So this whole Noah’s Ark discovery… yah it’s not legit. If we could deal with reality for just a moment and suspend what a lot of people *want* to be true rather than what is true — pretty much everything about the facts coming out of this story are embroiled in sensationalism and non-credible archeology. I believe there was a Noah and an Ark. But the formation in the Anatolian Mountains is almost certainly not the remains of that.

@RobertMSterling There are restaurants where people pay to get slapped or drinks thrown at them. There’s probably a market for this too!

Worth noting that Boswell never put his name into the portal and there are two roster spots open. ILLINI

NCAA President Charlie Baker is pushing for the proposal to allow DI athletes five years of eligibility to be voted on as emergency legislation in May, with implementation the next month. Baker is also in support of DI having a legal tampering window like we see in the NFL.

Whatever you currently believe about Jesus of Nazareth, you owe it to yourself to investigate Him thoroughly. It makes little sense to ignore the one solitary life that continues to impact you in eternity if His claims are true.

Satan got Adam and Eve to focus on one fruit when God had given them a whole garden. That's how he works. He gets you to focus on that one thing you don't have. Instead of all the blessings you do have.
Trust that God knows what you need, and will supply it when you need it.

Spotify needs to release a “kids” setting so I can play all the songs my kids listen to without it affecting my own Discovery algorithm.
Insane that I can’t do this already.
My Discover Weekly is just nursery songs and Moana.
@Spotify please fix this.

I’ve only seen this setup 1 time in 6 years 👀
I’m putting $200k in this SINGLE stock
Very similar to $CAR that made millionaires
$100 → $100,000 overnight
$300 → $300,000 in a single day
This is the third time.
Comment “Trade” and I’ll send it.

@neoavatara How are you supposed to get your pharma checks if you don’t prescribe?
English
I haven't prescribed a single medication in a decade and a half.
Still forced to have a DEA number.
Brent A. Williams, MD@BrentAWilliams2
I think that it is ridiculous that MDs are de facto forced to have and maintain a DEA number even if they do not prescribe controlled substances.

@ChiefIlliniVic What if the addition is Kylan coming back for year 3?

Why are people saying Illinois has no plans to add another player?
It makes ZERO sense to have $4-5M ready for Blackwell and then just do nothing with it when he goes elsewhere
Expect Illinois to get another solid piece for 2026-27

A shot rang out at Lexington.
Americans returned fire at Concord.
Ordinary citizens turned a British march into a fighting retreat.
They showed up ready and changed history.
