.@jonmalexander shared some of his insights from his article on Nick Caley:

-“he’s going to be honest.”
-“he felt like he was over ambitious” before realizing personnel wouldn’t fully allow (tight end injuries, young WRs etc)
-thought he’d bring Rams concepts but realized coaches and/or personnel more fit the Patriots offense
-“CJ Stroud might’ve been expecting one thing, his receivers might’ve been expecting another.” on young WRs & Kirk struggling
-“Schultz knew the offense more than anybody”
-“he seemed very confident they will have an improved season, he’s learned a lot, adjusted.”

@SportsSturm @Marcus_Mosher If you actually listed out the top 20 WRs it’d be really hard to put Watson in there.

Comment or DM “seen” if you want to come to my next Live Free relationship Q&A! It’s a blast!

Option 1: That didn’t feel good. What was your intention?

Option 2: I’m feeling defensive. Can you share that another way?

@MoreOrLessAMess I get what you’re saying, but for the vast majority of families, especially on one income, $200 is a lot of money to spend on a gift.

"I just don't think the Alamodome is the best venue for high school basketball."

UIL officials said they're exploring other locations for state title games after 2028. I talked to multiple basketball coaches across the state, and they're ready for a move.

@Johnny5pointOH @ZaneNavratil @AndreaRemynse That’s actually…. Not a bad idea. Not sure how the contract situations line up.

@MikeMitchNH Surely the Orioles or Blue Jays have developed the next Framber then?

@MikeMitchNH Moving Ronel Blanco to starting was another one.

[Chris Shelton @CSheltonChron]

@MikeMitchNH When you have no draft picks and no organizational appetite to trade from the major league club unless you get major leaguers back I’m just not sure how he would’ve pulled that off.

Good morning, the AL West was swept last night by a composite score of 50-7 playing against mostly teams with below .500 records.

What a beating. What a division.

Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.
