Two Donald Trump supporters are having this conversation. You literally can’t make this shit up.

[Hoodlum 🇺🇸 @NotHoodlum]

This is both incredibly pathetic and somehow funny.

Tell me again how much Donald Trump inherited from his father?

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

Look, Fauci created Covid in the Wuhan lab out of WMDs, Hillary's emails & Obama's real birth certificate;

...but the Benghazi stand-down order made Biden ban hamburgers & gas ovens;

...they're eating the dogs & cats and windmills cause hurricanes

& that's why real MAGA won't get the vaccine, even though Trump made it w/his own hands.

(owns libs)

@atrupar God willing I live long enough to escape this nightmare nearly 80 million of my fellow citizens thought to themselves "oh, yea, lets do this again, it was great the 1st time!" 🤦‍♂️

@bestdoorguy @stevehunsaker1 Tell me more!!

@SMB_Attorney Wait, Outlook is still a thing people use? 🤣

@mcuban @PeterDiamandis Honest Question Mark: As a father of a 5 and 11 year old, is college really going to be worth it for them considering the investment? Curious on your take, I have mine as an alumni of Duke. '01.

These people are delusional.

@SMB_Attorney Big difference in a 30+ year law career versus a 1-4 year collegiate career. Go get the money while you can!!

@jamesonhaslam @stevehunsaker1 Love it, me too

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death.

Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

@realEstateTrent Similar lesson I learned as a young sales rep: Never count on the commission $ until it is in your bank account.

@dharmesh Agreed! I'm so interested in looking at https://t.co/oY0RX4qOb1 based on some real home service companies like mine that use it and recommend it. Schedule a webinar with their sales team seems to be the only way to possibly on board, what a shame.

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project.

She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it.

Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda.

Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly.

She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype.

Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection.

The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table.

Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests.

Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.

@Nads_Shariff Would love to talk shop. Technical troubles DM'ing here, do a text or email, it will come to me.
