The Thunder Shotgun was broken VERY BADLY this update ❌
- Uses the incorrect reload animation
- Reload sound does not play
- Reloads faster than intended (not reflected in the stats as it's a bug)
- Sometimes just cannot reload
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.
Ahmaud Arbery should have turned 32 years old today.
But he never made it to 26.
I am thinking of his family today, and of every family forced to carry the weight of a loved one’s stolen future.
Please keep Ahmaud’s family in your prayers. And may we remain committed to justice, truth, and creating a world where Black lives are not treated as disposable.

Instead of making an episode about Static going against some big bad that they've built up over the course of the season, they chose to use the season 2 finale to address the affects and motivations behind school shooting.
A message that (unfortunately) is still relevant today.
made this for funnies & to clear up some misconceptions of how the voice acting industry works 🧍🏻
it was hard af to get here 💀 real ones who’ve been here since FNAF & Astral Chain (my 1st jobs) knows
You gonna bring this shit up now because of why? Some shit that’s already been cleared up. You gonna use this man to get some fuckin Twitter checks. Tryna stir up shit for what!?
As an actor I don’t get shit for dvd or theatrical release I get my salary.
Friday wasn’t some blockbuster they shot the shit in 20 days. Didn’t break the box office either just became a cult classic off home release and tv. And they went on to do two more. Messy ass tabloid page

I voice RYU ISHIGORI in the dub of JJK
(JANE JULIET KAISEN)
Jokes aside, Ryu is epic! I found a lot of myself in his dissatisfaction/depression & his ideas of effort/integrity.
I fought to have the line “Welcome to my table.” That one’s for you Jujutsu Kaisen fans 👉🎂🍰
