@JeffAgrest Let’s get over it Illini fans, that was forever ago and we’re in final 4 with a new HC in a new NIL system.
Henson did cheat, every major program did, Pearl later did himself. Let’s all move on…

#Illini great DEON THOMAS says former coach BRUCE PEARL doesn't belong on TV — and he's right.

@A_grain_ofsalt @darrenrovell True story, they turned off a large % of people that actually buy their shoes for themselves or their kids. Same thing happened to the NBA when they pandered.
Can they turn it around or have they permanently damaged the brand?
English
@darrenrovell They went WOKE. It all started when they backed up Kapernick. I got 7 kids and Nikes are BANNED in my house.

Three things missing on Nike collapse.
1. Focus on retro cushed them. Literally embracing a customer growing older.
2. Today’s kid doesn’t get excited about the swoosh. They lost all buzz. My boys would rather GOAT or The Drip Shop.
3. Completely abandoned storytelling.

Nike wiped out $200B+ in market cap since November 2021. And the chart actually understates how bad it is. This company made one bet that destroyed everything: the direct-to-consumer pivot. During COVID, Nike's online sales surged, and management convinced themselves the stay-at-home economy was permanent. They pulled product from Foot Locker, Dick's, and thousands of wholesale partners to push buyers through Nike.com and Nike stores. That ceded physical shelf space to On Running, Hoka, New Balance, and every competitor happy to fill the void. By the time Nike brought Elliott Hill in as CEO, customers had already moved on. The China numbers are staggering. Seven straight quarters of declining revenue. Greater China sales dropped 17% last quarter. Next quarter Nike expects a 20% plunge. Meanwhile Lululemon is posting double-digit growth in the same market. Anta and Li-Ning are eating Nike's share from below. Nike's China revenue contribution fell from 18.6% in 2021 to 14.2% in 2025. Yesterday Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Bank of America all downgraded the stock on the same day. Net income fell 35% year over year. Gross margin has declined for seven consecutive quarters. And the stock still trades at 38x forward earnings, a premium over the S&P 500 average of 22x. This is what a slow-motion brand collapse looks like with a luxury multiple attached to it. The turnaround keeps getting pushed further out. Management promised growth by early 2027. Wall Street priced that in. Now it's late 2027 at best. The scariest part: Nike is still the #1 sportswear company by market cap. If this is what #1 looks like, the rest of the industry is running a different race entirely.

@KirillChernysh6 @DMichaelTripi @calvinrobinson @aspen_lindsay Pretty sure I was responding to Tulsi being fired...has that happened?

NEW: Trump considering firing Tulsi Gabbard.

@calvinrobinson @aspen_lindsay He is considering firing her as well according to a report published yesterday by the New York Times.

We do put children and adolescents on statins in high-risk cases (familial hypercholesterolemia) for precisely this reason. Outside of FH, there are more tradeoffs that give clinicians pause (concerns about suppressing cholesterol aggressively during the development phase, minimal risk of near-term events, the initial accumulations of plaque in childhood being different in composition than advanced plaques you start developing in the subsequent decades).
I have no idea what incoherent nonsense "check longterm history of heart disease" refers to, but you don't strike me as the kind of person who is capable of adding anything intelligent to this discussion, so I don't care to know or argue this with you. You have a great day.
English
You can just check your LDL-C, if it's over 60mg/dL, you are building plaque. You can get it under 60 pretty easily and never worry about plaque. You don't need to wait until you have calcium in your arteries. Calcium is a late stage finding. Would you tell a smoker to keep smoking until a CT scan shows lung cancer? That's decades too late. You tell them to stop immediately. We can now prevent heart disease. We don't need to wait until it's irreversible! 💪🏻🫀🩺
Brad Gerstner@altcap
We started the Center for Heart Attack Prevention to advocate for widespread CAC scans as a standard of care for everyone over 35 - the mammogram for the heart. Grt to see new guidelines moving in that direction. Universal scans will save 100k lives per year! Get your now! 🇺🇸🤍
English
@AggregateReads @MohammedAlo @auntiecoco74 This is an incredibly dense take. The LDL level he suggests statin usage start would have otherwise very healthy kids on them.
Also, check long term history of heart disease.
English
This is a rather dense take on the topic. Our bodies weren't designed for longevity, but to survive to the age of reproduction and reproduce.
You can move forward in life with the body "as it exists" / "as it was designed," but cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death presently. There are many ways to die, but modern medicine/pharmacology offers solutions to the issue of cardiovascular disease, and greatly reduces the risk of CVD as a primary causal factor of mortality.
Our bodies weren't designed to be naturally resistant to polio—should we reject the polio vaccine on those grounds?
English
@MohammedAlo @auntiecoco74 So what you’re saying is God (or whatever anyone believes) designed human bodies to do all these amazing things automatically (anyone that’s had a baby has experienced several of these), but we basically all need a statin regardless of how we eat b/c ldl function was messed up.
English
@auntiecoco74 Yes, most would need medications to get under 60. You should eat right regardless. No one recommends eating poorly and taking meds.

@Tjwine11 @clara_winslow @RepThomasMassie @dbongino I don't disagree with those things, the war is concerning, Epstein was botched.
But then you look at senate stopping recess appointments and not passing Save act. It's an uphill battle as the establishment has strength, even if they lost the people.
He's done a lot of good.
English
@DSyp2020 @clara_winslow @RepThomasMassie @dbongino I agree that on certain things (the border) Trump has delivered. Which is awesome. But he has failed on one of his most important promises, which is not to let Americans die in needless foreign war.
English
I’m frequently disappointed in politicians but Tom Massie defied the odds in my unfortunate experiences with him, as he surpassed my lowest expectations.
This zero pretends to be a principled defender of liberty but, in the real world, he supports third-world tyranny.
Here are the receipts from a phone call I had with this zero offering him a briefing on multiple investigations he was inserting himself into by publicly commenting on them. Rather than affording the subjects of the cases their constitutional Right to due process, Massie chose to waive off the briefing and litigate it on X for clicks. Notice I tried to call him back but he wasn’t interested in facts.
It’s also of note that I never heard a single word from Massie during the process we engaged in to release the Epstein case docs. This process played out in media everywhere and yet Massie never reached out. Not once. It’s almost as if he wants to be a moron. As if ignorance is bliss for him. I’m horrified I once believed this guy was authentic.
English
@bankertobuilder Yeah, I prefer the older version although I imagine the ivy caused some issues.

This old home needed a refresh
We got rid of the gross overgrowth, updated the colors to something modern, and gave the place a timeless feel
So proud of my team
English
@Tjwine11 @clara_winslow @RepThomasMassie @dbongino Massie has done his share of things that make America 1st people question him, whether it’s authenticity, immigration policy, etc. Even his victories like Epstein make you wonder why he waited 4 years to fight. Trump has his faults but has delivered on way more than he’s missed.
English
@DSyp2020 @clara_winslow @RepThomasMassie @dbongino I am a three-time Trump voter. Do not be mistaken that he is a conservative. He doesn’t hide the fact that he is not. Massie is one of the loan actual conservatives in Washington. And the things that he brings up, Trump has been horrible on. Epstein being one of them.
English
@clara_winslow @RepThomasMassie @dbongino It's a fair point. Massie says a lot I like but he spends too much time attacking/stopping the most popular conservative president in my life for me to understand his true motives.
English
@RepThomasMassie @dbongino Thomas Massie is just a performative puppet. Like all libertarians, he stands for nothing but complains about everything. That's how he gets acknowledged and gets name recognition.

@EmmaRincon Looks like the waiter should be upset with his employer, not the customers
English
I went to a steakhouse in Miami, paid the bill, and they automatically added a 20% tip.
When the waiter brought the check, he said: “That tip goes to the whole establishment—if you want to leave something for me, it’s extra.”
I didn’t add anything else—20% is already too much. He gave me a dirty look, like I was robbing him.
This tipping culture is out of control.

@historyrock_ I'm a GnR fan, but he's got multiple outfits in this NY city "live" performance. This is a video so I imagine they reworked the performance.
GnR probably best band from that era but Axl limited them live. Other bands from that era were better live by far.

@travelingflying Funny watching them dance between complaining and applauding.
It's a culture that was unique to England that was artificially changed to sell more products from global corporations. Nobody wants every unique culture changed into some generic world culture.
English
Bill Maher: ”In fifty years, London went from 86% White to 36% White. This is great, it’s a happy fact. London is now mostly people of color, and I’m applauding it.’”
Meanwhile, London:
1960
98% White
0.01 Knife crime per 1,000
2026
36% White
1.82 Knife crime per 1,000

@Sterling_Vault @thegarybrecka What’s the best ways to get those necessary minerals?
English
@thegarybrecka Most people are drowning in plain water and still running on empty. Minerals are the missing piece nobody talks about enough.
English
Drinking more water is not always the answer.
If you are tired, dizzy, cramping, getting headaches, or waking up at 3 AM, you may not be under-hydrated.
You may be under-mineralized.
Water without electrolytes can dilute what your cells actually need to function.
Try this:
- start your day with water plus sodium, potassium, and magnesium
- stop chugging plain water all day
- hydrate harder around workouts, sauna, and travel
Hydration is not just about volume. It is about absorption.
Your cells do not run on water alone.
