Going to be an ANGRY crowd when Texas comes to town Nov 6

@Brady_H But if I don’t wear ankle socks, people won’t know I’m a millennial

Got 2 pairs of these Balega Enduro socks last week. Love them. New favorite.

@travisclones Doesn’t nearly every town and city grow more to the north and west?

I will never understand why Ames expands north and west instead of south. Didn’t realize Boone was such a magnet.

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war. Art of the deal, baby.

@BeatinTheBookie @BtbJesse @TripleComma Burns -2 for the round, -7 overall.

Let’s do a $100 LTC contest today. Who is the leader after round 2 of The Masters? What is their round two score (-2 etc) **Tiebreak - earliest correct answer. Contest closes at 730am ET. Must follow me @BtbJesse and @TripleComma

Actual quotes from President Trump: Trump’s “victory timeline” claims. Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully. March 10: practically nothing left to target Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In ​the first hour it was over.” Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait" Mar 22: "Iran is Dead" Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran." Mar 24: "We’re making progress." Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.” Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away." Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO." Mar 28: No major quote Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences." Mar 31: Claimed a deal was "very close" and that Iran would "do the right thing" Apr 1: "We’ll see what happens very soon." Apr 2: Repeated that a deal was likely, while warning of continued strikes if not Apr 3: "Something big is going to happen." Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences. Apr 5: "Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." April 6 :a whole civilization will die April 7: total and complete victory April8: objectives were met A true disaster

Iran Deal By Obama: •Strait of Hormuz open for free •Iran limits Uranium enrichment •Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons •Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance •Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance Iran Ceasefire By Trump: •Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship •Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment •Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons •Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

@Brady_H I remember. Somehow Sit&Reach was the worst. Also remember the pacer test being a lot of fun. I think we did that in years before we did the mile?

Who remembers this? Do they still do it? What % of school kids could “pass” today? (My favorite was the mile run)

💢📰 REPORT | New reporting from NYT reveals how Trump decided to go to war with Iran — after a closed-door Israeli pitch and despite deep internal divisions inside his own team. At a secret Feb. 11 Situation Room meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a four-part pitch for regime change, including a video montage of potential replacement leaders such as Reza Pahlavi. JD Vance was absent, stuck in Azerbaijan. Appearing alongside Mossad chief David Barnea and military officials, Netanyahu argued: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in weeks. The regime would be too weak to close the Strait of Hormuz. Street protests — fomented with Mossad help — could trigger an uprising. Kurdish fighters from Iraq could open a ground front in the northwest. Trump’s response: “Sounds good to me.” Trump’s response: “Sounds good to me.” The next day, U.S. intelligence pushed back sharply. CIA Director John Ratcliffe called the regime-change scenario “farcical,” with Secretary of State Marco Rubio adding: “In other words, it’s bullshit.” Gen. Dan Caine told the president: “This is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed.” Trump dismissed regime change as “their problem” — but remained focused on targeting Iran’s leadership and military. By Feb. 26, in a final Situation Room meeting, opposition inside the room was clear but fractured. Vice President JD Vance warned the war could spiral and drain U.S. resources, but ultimately said: “You know I think this is a bad idea… but I’ll support you.” Rubio said regime change was unrealistic, but destroying Iran’s missile program was achievable. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was the biggest proponent of war and backed immediate action. Military leadership outlined risks, including depleted munitions and the threat to Hormuz, but all stopped short of opposing the plan. Key officials responsible for managing the fallout, like the Treasury Secretary, and DNI Gabbard were notably absent. Trump went around the table asking advisors their view, then made the call: “I think we need to do it.” The strikes began two days later.

@RunLiftandEat @taggartvanetten @BowTiedYukon Came here to say the same

@taggartvanetten @BowTiedYukon The crossover I never knew I needed on my timeline

“Overtraining” is largely a myth Most people can’t, won’t and don’t push themselves anywhere near this point Do the extra reps, sets and skip the rest day

@bryan_johnson @chrislakin Hi Bryan, I only have access to hot baths and can do 20-40 mins with starting temp of 108F and it cools to 102 through duration. Is that long enough? Also I see a lot about fertility markers but why would I care if I am done having kids?

Hot bath is a legitimate alternative for core temperature elevation. Most can't sustain 40°C water long enough to hit the duration needed. I'm using dry sauna because the full benefit profile is broader, not just HSP activation. Also, I'm able to ice my boys and maintain top level fertility markers whereas that's harder to do in hot water.

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

@thekevingrimm @ORION_coaching @gamecockjoe Nice! What are you going to use for fuel?

@Ahully1 @AmiEverAfter @kenzianidiot I just saw these posts back-to-back as well. Hope you all get healthy and kudos for bringing attention to this health issue!

@AmiEverAfter I follow very few here on X, but a fave just posted about endo @kenzianidiot her dad has Bert w pals at a bar in WI every Friday & she posts his lol agendas.

I am not dying. I just have an illness that sounds made up (endometriosis) and I need it removed surgically from my body yet again. I have worked so hard on my health and fitness it is just incredibly discouraging. And in a dating culture so focused on “what you bring to the table” it hurts in my soul. Alright. Wiping tears. Office. Let’s do this.

Quarter sized hail just hit Waukee

This. Clogging up the bike trails, ripping by people on narrow side walks. They need banned. #GetOffMyLawn

@Waldo4Cy hi

Being shadow banned as an ISU fan never felt so good. (Enjoy the 3 people that see this.

@JacquelineCord @cyclonefanatic Great story, Jacqueline! Yonger will be missed dearly—once a Cyclone, Always a Cyclone. We are so proud of you, @BastidaYonger

There are still MANY hours between us and tonight's Sweet 16 game. So why don't you take a few minutes to read my latest story for @cyclonefanatic on how Yonger Bastida's legacy and story is so much bigger than one match. I’ve covered a lot of athletes. A lot of moments. But this one meant more. His story is about everything he went through to even get there — leaving home, learning a new language, building a life from scratch in Ames. It’s about growth. Sacrifice. And becoming someone people look up to. Someone whose name they chant in the stands and they wait in line for. I cared deeply about getting this one right so I've been working on it for several days because I don't know if we'll ever see someone like Yonger come through this program. If you have a minute, I’d really love for you all to read it 🤍 cyclonefanatic.com/2026/03/the-re…

@taggartvanetten Just looked at the weather. Hoping it holds and you thread the needle. You got this!

4 days until the prairie spirit trail 100 my goal is to run between 11:15-11:45 the conditions look nearly perfect & i’ll have a tail wind from 50-100 i want to run fast & negative split it’ll come down to how bad i want it hopefully, this overtraining will pay off lolz

No one more pissed right now than Fran McCaffery

@rachcorrine Same same, but no scone 😔 making plans to knock it out early tomorrow morning 😈

Was supposed to do a long run today but I am tired / sore. So instead I’m eating a scone and plotting world domination. Something I (re)learned these last few months - rest and recovery is equally important (if not more important) than the actual work itself. Listen to your body. You know the difference between “not wanting” to workout, and needing rest.
