While the NBA Finals are heating up tonight, I'm sharing a different kind of championship story 🏆

@mcuban built @CostPlusDrugs to fight ridiculous prescription prices.

Same drug. Same dose. Same 90 pills.
$8 vs $100+

Check my video on this Game changer

@CanyonDriver Excellent few days of sports for me. Lakers won Friday, CSK (Cricket) won Saturday Morning, got to hatewatch the Celtics choke their 3-1 lead and get eliminated, now I get to go to OKC for game 1 Tuesday!

Hating more Jaylen Brown afterwards is another bonus.

@CanyonDriver Does this move indicate Ayton is out for longer?

[Maanas Samant @MDSamant]

@CanyonDriver Ending made me sweat for sure but Luka is just so fun to watch. Enjoyable watching every game this year

@LALPerformance when I watched this in real time on my phone (https://t.co/EMmRNdCqFL app) I thought it was Marcus Smart lol only know I see it was Gabe

[Maanas Samant @MDSamant]

Glad that his treatment went well and that he shared this personal information publicly - because stories like this help push awareness forward in a way medical journals or doctors never could. If even ONE PERSON learns the signs of stroke or gets a workup done they would have skipped - it's an overall win! Hopefully my son and I can see him in concert sometime in the future~

[Maanas Samant @MDSamant]

I'm a big fan and actually had tickets to the concert in Austin he canceled last year! (Yes @StubHub gave me a refund). @donaldglover (aka Childish Gambino) shared that he had a stroke and that afterwards doctors found a "hole" in his heart - which I BELIEVE (not sure of his exact diagnosis) to be a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO).

[Maanas Samant @MDSamant]

To me this story is a good reminder:

1. Stroke isn't just an "old age" problem
2. Sometimes the cause of a stroke isn’t hypertension, diabetes, or arrhythmia - it’s anatomical.
3. FAST Acronym reminder - Face drooping, Arm (or leg) weakness, Speech difficulty, Time (how long since symptoms starts and Time to call 911)

News Headlines claim long-term #melatonin use may increase your risk of heart failure by 90%. Sounds terrifying - but is it true?

[Maanas Samant @MDSamant]

@CanyonDriver TBH Chuck and Ernie were at least trying to explain to the other 2 who were way off. Dave McMenamin tweeted the same thing later.. Just ESPN ragebaiting successfully

[Maanas Samant @MDSamant]

Often watched his late night chess streams and enjoyed his commentary at tournaments. He was the rare combination with insight of a Top GM with a lightning quick entertaining wit.

Big loss to the chess community. RIP

The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.

@GothamChess If he can maintain his form, Magnus can win the 2027 edition then retire
