@maryisbananas Awesome!!!

Ask me what’s my best side, I stand back and point at you 🩵 #classclass

@pavenyc @archeohistories We?

@archeohistories Thank you Edward. Unfortunately we forget about the native people and especially the Genocide we perpetrated on them!

For three decades beginning in the early 1900s, Edward S. Curtis devoted his life to documenting the lives, traditions, and dignity of Native American peoples across North America. With a deep sense of purpose and a heavy camera in tow, Curtis traveled thousands of miles to live among over 80 Indigenous tribes. He witnessed and recorded ceremonies, daily routines, and vanishing ways of life—capturing not only images but also oral histories, music, and languages that might otherwise have been lost to time. Curtis approached his work with reverence, aiming to preserve what he believed was a noble culture under threat from rapid colonization and assimilation. His portraits are striking in their detail and humanity, often set against stark natural backdrops or filled with ceremonial regalia, capturing both pride and vulnerability. Through his lens, we see elders, warriors, medicine men, and young children—all frozen in time at a pivotal moment in history when Indigenous communities were being systematically stripped of their lands, rights, and cultural practices. Though Curtis’s work has drawn both admiration and criticism—some for his romanticized or staged compositions—it remains an invaluable and haunting record of a people pushed to the brink. His vast collection, *The North American Indian*, remains one of the most ambitious ethnographic projects ever undertaken. Today, it offers a powerful, if complex, window into the resilience, beauty, and strength of Native American cultures before the full force of U.S. policies sought to erase them. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

@elfula @FinsXtra He was NOT right. The only reason that Tua is where he is not is because of the repeated injuries he suffered. He needs rest and no-contact to get his health back.

@FinsXtra Bryant Flores was right. The Dolphins owe him an apology.

What word would you use to sum up Tua Tagovailoa’s tenure in Miami?

This is truly the most beautiful video I’ve seen lately So tender and heart-warming, yet it makes you stop and reflect, with a subtle touch of sadness We may have gained so much, but perhaps we’ve lost even more✨

@BleacherReport @RapSheet I hope Ewers still gets a fair shot at starting this off-season and it isn't just handed to Willis. There's a lot to prove here.

Dolphins have found their new QB1 in Malik Willis, per @RapSheet 🔥 He is signing a three-year, $67.5M deal with $45M guaranteed 💰

@MiamiDolphins @Tua I hear ppl saying that Tua wasn't any good. Remember that his stats, dedication & skills were there UNTIL concussions got the best of him. I honestly think that he was in a bad/unhealthy state mentally last year. I hope he recovers fully, but that takes time & no more injuries!

Thanks for the memories, @Tua 🤙

Yeah, I didn't f*cking forget.

Exactly right. I remember those days as a child and not believing how inept this man was. His weakness has had terrible consequences.

@phfeiler He is a quality OC for sure. I hated to see him go from @MiamiDolphins. He's going to probably get the @Chargers over the hump.

16 posts by the Chargers in the past 2 days about McDaniel. I don't think any OC or DC has had a team publicly milk them like the Chargers are currently doing with McDaniel.

I would like to know the names of the assholes who did not vote for him..they are too cowardly to identify themselves…

@Rothmus I like you, @RandPaul, but that is a non-starter solution.

Rand Paul’s solution to illegal immigrants in the US: they get to stay but they don’t get welfare or citizenship.

@Geniustechw Looks like a grain elevator

What's the FIRST thing that comes to mind when you see Obama's new presidential library? 😏🏛️

Wow!

I'm going to miss Mike for sure :-( @MiamiDolphins

@DreAllDay @1Nicdar Way to go the other way on the message. More people need to try and more will succeed.

@1Nicdar Cool story. Problem is, this will encourage a bunch of players who will not “make it“ to think that they can (and invest in trying), just because of this one exception to the rule.

130 schools said no. He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway. Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami. He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed. So did FIU. So did FAU. So did everyone else. At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs. Not one FBS offer. His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path. Everyone told him to be “realistic.” “Know your place.” “Be grateful.” He didn’t listen. Because Mendoza understood something most people miss: The worst outcome isn’t failing. It’s never getting the chance to try. Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang. Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools. He took it. He arrived as the third-string quarterback. Spent a year on the scout team. Lost his first four starts. Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line. Still got up. Every time. Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him. So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes. He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history. People laughed. “Career suicide.” “Graveyard program.” “Nobody wins there.” One coach told him something different: “I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.” That was enough. Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football. His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years. Before every snap, he thought of her. “My mother is my why.” Indiana went 16–0. Beat six Top-10 teams. Won their first Big Ten title since 1945. Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns. Won the Heisman—first in school history. First Cuban-American to ever do it. Then came the title game. Miami. Near his hometown. Fourth-and-4. Season on the line. Quarterback draw. The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone. Game over. Indiana—national champions. The losingest program became the best team in America. All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end. Rankings don’t decide your ceiling. Gatekeepers don’t write your ending. Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point. Sometimes all you need is one shot… and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will. Don’t quit. Credit: Barclay Mullins

YOU CAN SILENCE 3 MICS FOREVER: WHO ARE YOU MUTING…?

@thisenduringlif @Catholicizm1 Asking Mary to pray for me is not worship; it’s intercession. If asking living Christians to pray isn’t idolatry, asking Christians alive in heaven isn’t either. All prayer still goes through Christ alone. I'm done with this conversation, though - I'll pray for you 🙏✝️

@thisenduringlif @Catholicizm1 Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. We ask for her intercession because she is Jesus' Mother not as a deity.

This kid will convert every single Protestant who sees this to Catholicism.

@humana_pax50692 @HoosiersConnect Literally no one cares about this one.

@HoosiersConnect How about the 2018 Las Vegas Golden Knights winning in just their second season of existence after qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in their inaugural season? Surely that can be considered among the best moments of sports history, right?

Real talk. Is Indiana Football winning a National Championship the greatest sports story of all time? If not, what beats it?

@Matt_Pinner Got 'em all. 😁

7 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?🤔
