@Bulldogwgr After so much sucking, it’s not time to be picky about success on our terms.

Worth your time

@WGR550 UB with Nate Oats

The guys opened up the show by looking back on some of their favorite Cinderella runs in the NCAA tournament's history! What is your favorite run you look back on?

@JOSPT Please do this for personal trainers next to help me make sense of the self annihilation. I think we lost the trail of optimal function for life.

Is it better to have one or multiple visits to #PhysicalTherapy for adults with #Neck or #BackPain 🤔 Our #ResearchReport tried to find out ➡️ow.ly/YjsM50XumWc The authors urge caution in interpreting the results *read beyond the abstract* #yourJOSPT

@WGR550 Besides Malestyn they may have lost all the fights. What’s different now is that they were in them ! Don’t getting pushed around.

The Sabres win last night really had it all, huge leads, comebacks, fights, and an electric atmosphere. How far did the win go to convincing you the Sabres are for real?

@TheHockeyNews Fireworks by the Tragically Hip

If you had to pick one song to get you psyched before a gold medal hockey game, which one would you choose?

@MuscleIQ2 @AdamMeakins Agreed except for those who advise PT only to treat pain. Absurd.

@AdamMeakins So, maybe we should focus on function? 🤓 Abnormal function is what’s wrong. Normal function is good. Weak is bad. Strong is good.

Well then it’s time so stop calling them ‘abnormalities’ if 99% of healthy people have them!

@garyvee Thanks man. Appreciate you.

soooooo many of you think it’s hard when … No one’s buying No one’s listening No one’s attending No one’s following ,engaging, replying … all valid … that said … when you do “get there” it becomes even harder to Stay on top Stay relevant Stay true to yourself … Which is why … they key 🔑 is to alway be “yourself” to “yourself” this game called life .. if all about the relationships you have .. and the most important one is … the one you have with yourself .. because you can never “sell out” or “fall off” if you don’t do those things within yourself … never compromise your values to yourself which will lead you to never doing it for others ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔑

@SovMichael @NFL I’d prefer a regular halftime like the regular season like the World Cup Championship. Just the game.

As opposed to the vulgar & progressive political mess that was the @NFL Bad Bunny halftime show yesterday, what performers do you believe that the majority of super bowl audience would have preferred?

@WGR550 Bryson and Thompson got out hustled for goals by not playing desperately. It’s not just for some occasions.

The Sabres injuries up front really caught up with them in their 5-2 loss to the Penguins last night. Could the loss end up helping them come back more motivated after the break?

@rachbarnhart And the “party atmosphere” music is off putting. Makes me rush to get out.

"Wegmans customers were less satisfied this past year with in-store experiences, including store layouts, staff courtesy and checkout speed...the company’s “consistency across locations” may have been affected by financial and operational pressures while simultaneously adding new locations." syracuse.com/business/2026/…

@IH_news the new 3rd party authorization for Physical Therapy is a joke. Using another company that requires excessive documentation to get “permission” to use some of the therapy visits subscribers think they are allowed is ridiculous. “Helping WNY get and stay healthy for over 45 years “…but only if the 3rd party agency approves it.

@AlexDaugherty1 That’s a cool day in April for Buffalo.

A look at current downtown conditions ahead of the Preds vs Mammoth game at 12:30. Crews are plowing and salting the main plaza, though many of the sidewalks and roads are already slippy. Use caution if you are planning to make it here.

@jarvis_best Ah. Negative

In upstate New York you can walk up to anyone - anyone - and you can ask when the arraignment is and they will tell you. They will tell you when the arraignment is.

@ByMHarrington Don’t allow ties. Just W-L

Can’t do that. They put in OT in early 80s because teams stopped playing in third periods to protect their ties.

@bmj_latest And saying experimental unproven genetic therapy may not be safe and effective.

@SabresClassics Not reacting to Tage getting leveled had something to do with it.

I have never in life or #Sabres seen a single human being go from being so hated to so loved so quickly. I am so happy for this guy. We love you Mattias Samuelsson!!

@thedarkhorsepod Unslaved.com

No one at a cocktail party is going to say, "Yeah, I can't actually read..." Illiteracy is not acceptable, but innumeracy is kind of cute. And frankly, we don't have a word for it, but the inability to understand what science is and what it's not, and to track scientific arguments, to see rhetoric when it's being used as if it's science... That's just not, it doesn't even come up for these people.

@Retlouping @PainSci On scale of baseless and harmful with negligence and intent, the safe & effective mandates pushed by world “health” agencies kill and maim millions. I look forward to a time when this pissing contest is the biggest issue.

Physiotherapy is almost as pseudoscientific as osteopathy and chiropractic skeptic.org.uk/2025/12/physio… Great article by @PainSci Maybe add the newly fangled “osteopractor” to the list of dubious 🐄 💩 sellers?

@derecktafuma @naval @JTLonsdale You may enjoy Micheal Tsarion’s work at Unslaved.com

Naval, your analogy hits on a real tension in the literature. Unlike physics or chemistry, where hypotheses live or die by reproducible experimentation, much of psychiatry and social science still operates with constructs that are hard to falsify. The DSM diagnoses, for instance, are arrived at by committee consensus rather than by discovering objective biomarkers—something the NIMH’s RDoC initiative has been trying to fix since 2013 by shifting toward measurable biological and behavioral dimensions instead of symptom checklists. Meta-analyses (e.g., Leichsenring et al., 2022 in World Psychiatry) show that many psychiatric diagnoses have poor diagnostic reliability over time (κ often <0.5), and twin studies reveal that most mental disorders have heritability estimates overlapping with normal-range personality traits (Polderman et al., 2015, Nature Genetics), blurring the line between “illness” and variation. Even the “chemical imbalance” story for depression—long the public face of biological psychiatry—has been largely abandoned by leading researchers (Moncrieff et al., 2022, Molecular Psychiatry). Meanwhile, effect sizes for most psychiatric drugs are modest (Leucht et al., 2017), and placebo response rates in trials keep rising, suggesting context and expectation play outsized roles. None of this means suffering isn’t real or that therapy and meds can’t help; it just means we’re often treating statistically defined clusters of human distress rather than discrete diseases with known etiology and pathology the way we do with, say, syphilis or diabetes. So yes—until we get reliable biomarkers, tight causal models, and highly replicable findings, large parts of mental health and social-science research do feel closer to proto-science than to the mature, predictive paradigms we associate with “hard” science. The field knows this and is pushing toward biology and mechanism, but we’re not there yet. Curious where you draw the line between “still figuring it out” and “fundamentally not science.”

This reply below is simply wrong, and an idiot aspect of our current justice system. Yes, I believe in second chances. But I don’t care what’s wrong with them: if they’ve committed a second violent crime, don’t let them out to hurt our friends and family again. Not for decades.

@JOSPT I get the point but the population is getting sicker, weaker, fatter and less functionally capable, taking more medication than ever before and some are focused on how shoulder problems are named?!

Our July editorial argues for using "Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain" instead of terms that may lead to a sense of false precision when diagnosing shoulder pathology See what you think 👉 ow.ly/cJLQ50WoBRK #yourJOSPT
