@IndiaTales7 Congratulations. You’re the straw the broke the camels back. I’m deleting my account. This place is a cesspit of misinformation.

Donald Trump looked genuinely stunned and worried—such a tragic incident. He hits a button on his desk, probably calling for help, with real concern etched in his gaze 🇺🇸🕊️ x.com/leandroOnX/sta…

@kevinbridges86 None of these teams, even Haiti, will be fearing us which is just the way we want it.

Here Brazil are nae mugs

@BBCSportScot Wasn’t this an issue at Aberdeen as well?

Hearts boss Derek McInnes says the club are looking into why so many of their players are suffering from hamstring injuries. #BBCFootball

@grok @aleksandrevic_ @Rainmaker1973 Sounds like he should have been included in the OP

Aberdeen's connection to insulin's history is through John Macleod, a key figure in its discovery. Born in Scotland, he moved to Aberdeen young, studied at Aberdeen Grammar School and University of Aberdeen (graduating 1898). He later returned as Regius Professor of Physiology there in 1928 and died in the city in 1935. Macleod provided lab space and guidance to Banting and Best in Toronto, earning a share of the 1923 Nobel Prize. A statue honors him in Aberdeen.

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. Others were being treated by being placed on an extremely strict diet, which inevitably led to starvation. This is known as one of medicine's most incredible moments. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child. The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with a new purified extract: it was called insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom became a place of joy and hope. In the early 1920s Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under the directorship of John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip insulin was purified, making it available for the successful treatment of diabetes. In the same year, Banting, Collip, and Best decided to sell the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1. Banting and Macleod earned a Nobel Prize for their work in 1923.

@grok @aleksandrevic_ @Rainmaker1973 @grok what has the city of Aberdeen got to do with the history of insulin?

The earliest recorded description of diabetes symptoms appears in the Ebers Papyrus from ancient Egypt around 1550 BC, noting excessive urination. Ancient Indian and Chinese texts also mention it by the 5th-6th century BC. It was rare in antiquity—Galen saw only two cases in his lifetime. Diabetes became more common in the 20th century, especially type 2, due to lifestyle changes, with significant rises post-1950s.

@HeartsGoals I’ll go with me

>INSERT NAME HERE< scores this btw… I’ll go with Lawrence Shankland as my answer. 💔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@1_LPfannenstiel @AberdeenFC @SHFLfb @BrechinCityFC @TurriffUnitedFC Welcome Lutz, you’ll find a passionate bunch here who love football. The people of the north east and warm and welcoming, and it’s a beautiful area of Scotland. Enjoy the granite city and its history and don’t be put off by the nay-sayers - they are always the loudest!!

A deep dive into Scottish football history before starting my work early next week with @AberdeenFC I really enjoyed some @SHFLfb today watching @BrechinCityFC vs @TurriffUnitedFC 👍 ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thanks for the hospitality 🙏

@grok @RadioheadClub The clip is lotus flower, but the music is apex twin. What is the name of the song?

That looks like a clip from the music video for "Lotus Flower" by Radiohead, featuring Thom Yorke's famous dance. The "Aphex Twin & Thom" title might refer to a fan mashup or Thom's admiration for Aphex Twin's electronic style. If it's a specific remix, could you share more details?

@RadioheadClub @RollingStone I was at that Manchester gig.

Who’s missing?

@NoContextHumans 26

How many have you visited?🤔🌍

@pieandbov Entitled. Always someone else to blame. Someone else’s fault.

Be a cold hearted individual that didn't really feel for the Celtic support at the moment. Just 13 league titles from the last 14. Uunbeaten and top of the league this season, not even conceded a goal. Thoughts with them at this very difficult period in their history.

Atmosphere at Pittodrie is something else on a European night. Noticed by oppostion players 👍

@ally_begg Any idea how much the flags cost? I feel this really makes an impact in so many ways on the night, makes the club attractive too. It was a great spectacle. Bravo Dons fans. Look at the recent Scottish home games in Europe and we kick the arse over other clubs for atmosphere.

Pittodrie looking fantastic ahead of tonight 😃🇦🇹🇦🇹🏆

@HitTheByline The attendance for Hearts home game against Dumbarton speaks volumes. Aberdeen a clear third by almost any metric you can look at. Except Twitter followers. Oh actually that horse, I just checked and they’ve 10% more too.

As a neutral on the matter, Aberdeen are the 3rd biggest side in Scotland and I don't think that this should be a debate, but that never stops Boyd and Sutton from doing so anyways. In terms of domestic trophies, it is close 🏆: - Aberdeen; 4 league titles, 8 Scottish Cups and 6 League Cups. - Hearts; 4 league titles, 8 Scottish Cups and 4 League Cups. However, Aberdeen are the only Scottish side to win 2 European titles, the European Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup in 1983, both under Sir Alex Ferguson. Aberdeen are also the only other team, besides Celtic to never have been relegated from the Scottish top flight. Also, as a side note, Hearts have won 1 major trophy and Aberdeen have won 2 major trophies in the last 15 years. So, it's not the best rebuttal by Kris Boyd...

@dundeeunitedfc Bit of schadenfreude amongst Dons fans here I have to say.

▪️ Overriding emotion is pride ▪️ Players left everything out there ▪️ Going toe-to-toe with the elite ▪️ Huge gratitude to supporters Reaction from #DUFC Manager Jim Goodwin following this evening's #UECL battle with SK Rapid Wien 👇🗣️

@AbzPodcast Devoid of confidence at the moment. Needs a break but I’ve said before, the break should be against Celtic or in the first team.

Oh dear.

@MiamiPDScanner @anon_opin Naa these people have you by the short and curlies on this thread. You come across as the distillation of why people dislike Americans so much: intellect delusion, insular and arrogant with a large sprinkling of not understanding how the world operates.

I know, right? We only work harder, sacrifice more, and take fewer days off because we’re too busy: Underwriting global security Propping up the global economy Funding your humanitarian programs Stabilizing regions your governments won’t touch And oh yeah—providing the military umbrella that lets you sip espresso while mocking the hand that keeps you safe. We don’t get “free” healthcare because we don’t live in a fantasy where someone else pays the bill. We don’t get paid to sit around because we’re the engine that keeps the world from collapsing. You enjoy your cozy social benefits precisely because we do the hard, ugly work that your country outsourced to us. So go ahead—laugh at “freedom” while hiding behind American satellites, American naval power, American tech, and American aid. We’ll keep carrying the weight. You’re welcome.

Americans don't understand that the rest of the world just laughs when they claim to be the country of 'freedom'. They get about 4 days off work a year, no maternity or sick leave, no free healthcare, democracy is owned by billionaires, you arent even free to cross a street.

@DandyDonSF Compared to other similar sized satellite cities, it more than punches above its weight - even still. You can clearly see the decline though, and that’s sad to see. Not as much cash now and house pricing is all to pot. It’s still nice though. Very little rain, sunny and cold.

Do people from Aberdeen take their city for granted? Unique architecture with beautiful buildings A glorious sandy beach A busy working harbour Loads of green spaces Good transport links so others and come and enjoy Decent shops Good bars A successful football club.
