If you’re wondering how schools can make a gazillion dollars and be in the red 👇

@michaelniziolek That took him a year?

Darian DeVries on what he learned in year one: "It's a place where you can win at a high, high level. Fans are very passionate. People in the recruiting space recognize the brand of Indiana and that's exciting and you've certainly seen that as we've gone through the portal.

London then @ Steelers with no bye week is brutal if it’s true #colts

@Acyn My god

Trump: Drugs coming by sea meaning coming by water. A lot of people don’t know what I mean by sea. They think I mean vision. I’m talking about sea like the sea.

@shortystyle Let’s be honest, they stink at the draft anyhow.

Rule #1 as a Pacer fan: NEVER, under any circumstance, have HOPE. It will bite you every time.

Me to friend after 3rd trip to ATM at Caesar’s… “I thought we were due some luck”

@JMV1070 @bkravitz His body language and words don’t match.

At first glance. I thought this was @bkravitz

@emacinfishers Wait til we see that Zubac is just ok. Eesh.

Man, that stinks. #Pacers

@emacinfishers I hated it from the beginning, honestly. But now…..woof.

@gregblunk Trade doesn’t look so great now. #5 this year, unprotected 1st in 2029, Mathurin, and Jackson for Zubac.

Imagine how good they’d be if the Pacers were even decent at the draft.

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project. She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it. Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda. Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly. She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype. Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection. The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table. Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests. Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.

But not an athlete 😂 Gtfooh

One of the many tragedies of this war is that before the war began the U.S. Intel Community, including CIA, was in agreement that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear weapon & that Iran would target U.S. bases in the region & shut down the Strait of Hormuz if they were attacked by Israel & the U.S. The IC also properly assessed that targeting the Iranian leadership would strengthen the regime and embolden the hardliners. Despite the professionalism & accuracy of the IC, the narrative & agenda spun by a foreign government- Israel, won the argument & forced us into this war. We need to understand exactly how this happened to ensure we are never put in this position again.

@softball_mv Awesome Job Amelia. Go Marauders.

Lady Marauders win big on the road! 💛🖤💪

@John_Hudson @KattyKay_ has been saying this on her podcast

SCOOP: A confidential new CIA analysis delivered to policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least 3 to 4 months before facing more severe economic hardship, a finding that contradicts those hailing an imminent collapse

That wasn’t Ricky Karcher but it was Ricky Karcher’ish #Red

@BenVerlander That’s on the manager.

Along with the good STUFF of Framber Valdez comes the bad… The mental side of pitching. After back to back HRs and 10 ER he does this…

“Back to the way it was…..” My goodness.

Marco Rubio says the goal of the war in Iran is now to restore it "back to the way it was" before Trump started the war in Iran
