NEW: Terra Innovatum, an Italian nuclear company, has selected Pittsburgh as its American HQ, where it will develop and sale microreactors that generate 1MW of electricity and can be placed anywhere. The company will start selling them by 2027. https://t.co/fBUd9ybqJa

All these videos make me wanna do a Thornton Melon and go back to school. I know NIL is a crazy but college sports, man. When it hits, it’s really grips your heart.

One of the best sporting events I’ve watched all year. WVU down 3 going into 9th. Scored 5. Morgantown went bananas. Tarps off everywhere. FYI-West Virginia’s best player is Gavin Kelly. Central Catholic. From Pittsburgh. Will be #1 pick in ‘27 MLB Draft.

Zippo has been making lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932. That's over 90 years of the same product, made in the same town, by the same family-rooted company. 🔥
What's interesting is that Zippo has a lifetime guarantee on every lighter they've ever made. Bring in a broken Zippo from 1950, and they'll fix it for free. No receipt. No questions. That policy has never changed, and the company has honored it millions of times over.
Here's where it gets remarkable: Bradford is a small city in McKean County, tucked into the northern Pennsylvania hills. It's not a place most people outside the state could find on a map. But Zippo put it on the map for the world. At one point, Zippo lighters were carried by American soldiers in every major conflict of the 20th century. The brand became a symbol of reliability, and that reputation was built entirely in Pennsylvania.
They've had plenty of chances to move, sell, or outsource. They haven't. The Zippo Museum in Bradford draws visitors from across the country every year, and the factory floor is still running.
Did you know the Zippo Museum was free to visit? Have you ever been to Bradford? 👇

May 1924. A day in South Bend, Indiana. It changed a campus forever. Learn more!

Your occasional reminder that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 1-0-0 all-time against the Ku Klux Klan.

When App State upset #5 Michigan in The Big House. Biggest upset in CFB history.

@vmpops After the game they walk back up through the campus to the Basilica for mass. Standing room only. And in the 3rd quarter they play hype video about mass after the game, and 12,000 students give the priest a standing ovation as he elevates the host. No place like it.

🚨: The James Webb Space Telescope has done it again—revealing a breathtaking structure now dubbed the “Cosmic Vine”: a string of 20 galaxies stretching across a staggering 13 million light-years!

What makes this discovery so shocking? This colossal formation dates back nearly 11 billion years, forming just 3 billion years after the Big Bang—a time when galaxies were thought to still be forming in isolated clumps. Instead, JWST captured a massive, organized structure linking galaxies together much earlier than expected.

NEW: Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who says he is not religious, says he broke down in tears when he saw the Cross after getting back to Earth.

Wiseman: "I'm not really a religious person, but there was just no other avenue for me to explain anything..."

Victor Glover: "The only thing I would add is I am a religious person, but everything else is the same."

Pittsburgh might be the most underrated city in the US

This was Lou Holtz's introductory Press Conference at Notre Dame.

He said:
"This is the happiest day of my life professionally. I never thought I'd have this opportunity."

"I just couldn't say no."

If you listen real closely you can hear the old timey cameras whining up to take photos

[Ryan Recker @RyanRecker]

A fantastic feature on Lou Holtz from 1988 from our former colleague Guy Junker, who visited St. Aloysius Grade School in East Liverpool, Ohio where Holtz went to school.

He’s like the honey badger and I adore him and I want to buy a fresh copy of the Satanic Verses. No other writer can be called “brave” in a book review. Your sensitive little campus novel that mildly questioned gender studies was not courageous.

It’s cool that Salman Rushdie has outlived 2 Ayatollahs.

Hilarious: Notre Dame star RB Jeremiyah Love does NOT want to be drafted by the Cowboys.

Reporter: “Have you met with America’s Team yet?”

Love: “Who is that?”

Jeremiyah: “My dad is a Steelers fan. And he doesn't like the Cowboys."
