One of my favorite shows on TV right now...
#SlowHorses is one of the rarest and finest examples of scripted television: A procedural based on an airport novel series that cranks out its annual seasons like clockwork and boasts a crackerjack cast.

HARD AGREE
Never ever going to get tired of writing about the #Oasis reunion, which is maybe the only categorically good thing 2025 has given us --- and a timely reminder that love, forgiveness, and rock and roll can maybe still fix the world. pastemagazine.com/music/oasi… @PasteMagazine
This is probably just what we all deserve...once you're making 100 commercials and Hallmark movies about a team, Karma just comes to smack you around. The offense is gone, discipline is gone, aura is gone. #Chiefs

Wittnessing something special.
ALT A graphic with cutout images of Bobby Witt Jr. set against a royal blue background. Text on the graphic reads, "First player in Major League history to record at least 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases in each of his first four seasons."

Man, this @Chiefs team is just embarrassing themselves. Poor on offense, can’t protect, can’t stop a bad team/qb, and just so undisciplined. The record feels fraudulent at this point.

My son owes my life to this discovery; science saves lives.
In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. Others were being treated by being placed on an extremely strict diet, which inevitably led to starvation.
These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death. The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.
As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room that was full of death and gloom, suddenly became a place of joy and hope.
In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes. Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923.
In the same year, Banting, Collip, and Best decided to sell the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1.
Banting famously went on to say, "Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world."
