Understand the complex history of Iran with a 60 Minutes Marathon: “Iran through the years” 60 Minutes first reported from the country 51 years ago, in 1974. WATCH: youtu.be/wF2exmyItF0?si…

I’ve been asked the same question again and again: Why would the Ayatollah’s regime attack Dubai? A city where nearly 200,000 Iranians live. A city where they built businesses, raised families, educated their children in world-class schools, and found opportunity. Why target a place that gave so many of their own people a future? And then it hit me. The answer is in the question. This is a regime that kills its own people inside Iran. Why would it hesitate to harm them outside? But there’s something deeper. Dubai wasn’t just a target. It was a symbol. Seventy miles across the Gulf stands a city that, to millions of Iranians, represents what Iran could have been - open, thriving, educated, diverse, confident. A place where business flourishes. Where coexistence is normal. Where over 200 nationalities live side by side, chasing dreams instead of fearing the state. That model is a direct contradiction of everything the Ayatollahs built their rule upon. So the attack wasn’t just against buildings or infrastructure. It was against an idea. Against a model of prosperity. Against proof that another path is possible on the same waters of the Gulf. Yes, the city has suffered a blow. Yes, it hurts. For those of us who love Dubai, who have built lives here, who have watched it become one of the safest and most dynamic cities in the world - this was personal. But here’s what the doubters don’t understand: Dubai’s strength has never been fragility. It has always been resilience. And when Iran is finally free from tyranny - when a new Iran rises - Dubai will not fade. It will thrive even more. It will become the gateway, the financial bridge, the transit hub for trade, energy, capital, and reconstruction. It will be the Hong Kong of a reborn Iran. The stepping stone between a free Iran and the global economy. The best days of this city are not behind it. They’re ahead. 🙌🏻🙂

BREAKING: In Tehran, people are cheering and celebrating amid reports of Khamenei's death.

@brcohen Sounds like a slam dunk 😂

We started in Lerner Hall. Then we added the Kraft Center. Then we needed to add Low Library. The courts are the only space on campus that can accomodate us!

@brcohen @Columbia I love the location!!!

It was an incredible evening. The Jewish community at @columbia is very special.

This past Friday was something: - 1300 students, faculty and staff from @Columbia and @BarnardCollege celebrating Shabbat dinner - 310 loaves of Challah baked by students - 7 different post dinner receptions at the Kraft Center - in every sense of the word, it was a Mega Shabbat.

Ticket market for the new year CFP games is abysmal $120 get in for the Rose Bowl is unprecedented + the Cotton and Orange bowl likely will not sell out If this isnt proof we need on campus QF games idk what is. 3 games in 3 weeks is way too much travel to put on a fanbase

🏈 Thoughts: A lot of college sports leaders are up in their feelings this morning. None of this is “bad” or broken. The committee's job was always to sort out the final spot or two in a sport where that is impossible due to disparate schedules. They’ll take two from ND, Bama, Miami. Is what it is. Will always be a debate. If you don’t win your conference (or aren’t in one) then you risk losing the at-large street fight. Having two teams outside the top 12 (Tulane, JMU) is an ACC tie-breaker screw-up (as would the league being left out altogether). It’s not a playoff format problem. The leagues are too big, but don’t let the mistake of 18 and 17 team leagues lead to the mistake of a 24 or 28 team playoff that all but end the value of regular season results. Improvements(?): End weekly rankings that undermine credibility and box in the committee. Go back to divisions inside conferences and/or fix tie breakers. End conference championship weekend, possibly with expansion to 16, and start the playoff earlier so it doesn’t end in late January. Home games first two rounds (prioritize seeding, the fans experience and local economies over bowl directors). College football chases its tail in panic which is what has led to so many short-sighted mistakes. You can see them doing it again today. The sport is in terrific shape. Remember, this is the same leadership that said NIL would kill competitive balance (opposite has happened), decrease fan interest (opposite has happened) and Congress would save them (not happening). Be wary of their cries and solutions this time. A fun/wide open playoff is about to begin. Everyone exhale.

Nice shoutout of @AlabamaSB and @UACoachMurphy on @CollegeGameDay kicking contest today!

@Cory_Mose @llhightower8 Mia= national champion Mia Scott! 🥎

Learned something new about CJ Baxter today... When asked by @llhightower8 about his bye week, CJ said he went to Six Flags with his girlfriend Mia. "This embarrassing, I think it's called the Joker. We sit in like a circle and you swing back and forth, back and forth. My girlfriend said I passed out " Despite being from Orlando, CJ also told us he's never been to Disney #HookEm | #Texas

@RonnieMoor83974 @_dannydavis The Arkansas win was in Fayetteville, and the OU win wasn’t postseason- Danny was talking about postseason games at home! But yes, those two performances were amazing.

@_dannydavis Come on man , Sophie Simpsons super regional win over Arkansas Dolcini win against Oklahoma in Austin Hook'em

In the Mike White era, there have been memorable pitching performances at McCombs Field in the NCAA Tournament. Miranda Elish’s two-day, four-game, 429-pitch masterpiece in the 2019 regionals. Molly Jacobsen’s regional-clinching shutout of Oregon in 2021. Teagan Kavan tonight.

@samfischer52 I was so happy when a coworker posted about Regionals (the Oregon win) in our sports talk slack channel at work

after everything we went through this weekend how are we expected to just like… work today

@Sydney_Supple @HuskerSoftball Who are the other three? @SoftbalAmerica

Jordy Bahl for @HuskerSoftball is now one of FOUR college softball players to ever achieve this 🤯: 20+ wins on the mound 20 home runs at the plate

@HuskerSoftball @jordybahl Who are the other three?? That’s a fun trivia question…

Mount Rushmore territory. 🥎🗻 @jordybahl becomes the 4th player in NCAA HISTORY to have 20 home runs and 20 wins in the same season.

@jessmendoza Because they always get sent to Norman!

The surrender cobra response when Boston University finds out they have to play the four-time defending champ Oklahoma to start the postseason 🐍🥎
